Miranda Griswold y su pareja estaban encantados de hacer crecer su familia cuando tuvieron su primer hijo en 2018. La parte menos emocionante: agregar los costos del bebé a sus gastos existentes: pagos de pensión alimenticia, préstamos estudiantiles y facturas de tarjetas de crédito.
Griswold tuvo una cesárea y su médico le recomendó que se quedara en su casa de Merced durante seis semanas de tiempo de recuperación.

Her fiancé, who works at a commercial printing press, returned to work after one week of vacation because they couldn’t afford for him to take more time off using family leave, which would replace only 60% of his wages.
