Exactly what I did and it does not make me a bad parent for choosing it either. You did what you had to do for you and your family just as I had to do for mine.
I didn’t ask to \be a parent at the age of 19, I chose to be one and proud of everything I did along the way, because I did it, not someone else. I guess that makes you a better person for choosing to work longer hours and forgo the assistance and me a low life for accepting the help and physically being there for my child. Our situations are nothing alike. You're children are being raised by YOU always and forever, I am raising a child that his mother can never be here for him and his father didn't want to be. So I don't think you can really compare your life to mine or anyone else’s for that matter.
