well this is a great group because although i know that i am not alone. statistics tell us that 87% of children in the US do not live in a nuclear family. the hardest part foe me is money. i have two kids with two differnet fathers and cant get child support for eighter. my daughters father no longer lives in the US and i guess since she was not a boy, he is not interested and my son's father has been comming and going for years, but he is a drunk and occassional drug user who makes things worse when he is around so i finally decided not to pick up my phone. that is another hard part too. explaining this to the children. my daughter's daycare told me that she is going around telling people that her daddy hates her? i have no idea where she got such a thing because i have never mentioned it at all.

the good things are the things my three year old says, the looks the hugs and the kisses. the way my little girl touches my face and tells me that she loves me and that we are a familly.

The hardest part I guess would be having to live with my parents because of lack of money. Also my son will never know his father. I am supposed to explain this to him one day and I dont know how.

The Great part is, I am the one who desides the punishment, the rewards and everything else. I dont have anyone who disagrees with me (that counts) about how my son is raised!

right now for me the hardest part is haveing enough money to pay the bills. the best part is seeing my daughters beautiful smile that smile is what keeps me going

The hardest parts are living with my sister because I don't have a job or any money. And I worry about what to tell my daughter when shes older(shes 1 yr old) about her Dad.

The best part is that I decide how shes raised -- its all my way. So if I make it work: Go me! and if I mess up then its my fault but my daughter is so wonderful and I know she loves me.
