I suppose that one really depends on the situation at hand, not everyone has the available time that some do.

There's no reason a single person can't work ONE job and provide for their kids...Dustin works one job and he provides for 5 of us...

My mother was divorced...She worked one job and provided for my sister and me...We may not have had everything we WANTED, but we always had everything we NEEDED...And, we had a mother, too...

Seri works one job...She pays all of her bills, and she provides for her cat :D

MOST of the people I know work one job, and provide for their kids just fine

The reason I can't believe someone who says their kids are the most important thing in their lives, and they work 2 jobs, is because they never really SEE their kids...How can your kids be so important, if you don't ever spend any time with them?

If your kids really are the MOST important thing (and money ISN'T), then you work ONE job and learn how to manage your money better so that you CAN spend time with your kids...
