My point is.........I know I have done as well as, and in some cases, better than many financially stable/two parent families that I know
I was a young parent, I have brought both of my children up alone with no support from the father, but they are both intelligent, clean, well cared for and aspire to own their own businesses....I am definiately not super human and have had many challenges to face (I apologise now to my mother :notworthy:)I have just done the best I could do. Parenting is difficult for everyone no matter what their social position is and surely assistance should just be offered to anyone who has the guts to say " I need help"
What do you all think?????

couldnt agree more hun i brought 3 up more or less on my own and it was hard but rewarding and not one of my kids have ever been in trouble my eldest is almost 16 hes a good lad an aspiring musician im very proud of my lot
