Donna LeBlanc gave her husband, a former restaurant manager, the stark ultimatum: become a pizza delivery man or their family "wouldn't make it."
The Lafayette, Louisiana, family of six was struggling with $45,000 of mounting medical debt from Donna LeBlanc's unexpected case of pneumonia and tonsillitis a year earlier. The family savings account had dwindled to $100.
I don't see how delivering pizzas (and putting wear on your own car and paying your own gas) would help them out. Yeah its better than nothing, but its a pittance.
If anything it just gets him away from her nagging.
Is there a reason she can't look for a job? He can watch the kids, too. Not just mom.
Getting divorced would only make it harder on the whole family anyways, so thats not really a solution. She's not real bright, either.

I worked in a pizza restaurant for 5 1/2 years and I have a couple of friends who are putting in close to a decade with delivering. They make good money; they make at least twice as much as the higher up managers and they make more than anyone starting out on an oil rig.
You can make tons of money delivering, but it all depends on the location and the type of pizza joint.
And yes, it does hell on your car.
Most of the drivers in this article worked at the pizza place that I worked at.

Tell us K. What kind of tips to pizza delivery peoeple make. What do average people give you to deliver a pizza that they are too damn lazy to go out and get? Do many people stiff you?
I doubt they make more then the manger as you say but Im sure pizza delivery people can make much more then minimum wage peope after adding in all the tax free tips.
People today have to make smart decisions, including not having too many kids!
Programs that applaud people with a dozen kids make me a bit queasy. It all looks so easy. But in the end someone has to pay the bills.
I've been a stay at home wife/Mom for the last 10 years. If my hubby came home from work tomorrow with the news he was being laid off, my a$$ would be out pounding the pavement looking for whatever job I could find ASAP. It does get a little trickier when kids and childcare are involved, but it's not impossible.
damn six kids. When and if I have kids Ideally I would only want one or two prob.
I am with killer in that he should file for bankruptcy, I mean 45,000 in medicals...it would take forever to pay that off might as well cut your loses.
Bankruptcy all day long...I didnt look at the link, but save the house if there is one.
