A DESPERATE working mother has told how she is enduring her worst in nightmare - living with her two young children in the back seat of her car.
Tonight Michelle will tuck her children Connor, 11, and Mikayla, 6, into her Holden Barina parked in a vulnerable open space such as a train station or a shopping centre carpark in Melbourne's south-east suburbs.
Michelle estimates she has put in up to 60 applications for rental homes in the past six weeks and says she can afford to pay up to $300 a week in rent from her part-time job at a doctor's surgery.
But in a competitive market, prospective landlords keep finding more preferable tenants, she says.
