well done you now thats the way a woman would think
I work with girls who for different reasons are not bringing up their own children.
Mental and physical health are two reasons.
Physically they are really ill and have not got the energy to do it. HIV positive and aids are the reason they leave their children with parents or siblings.
The life they live is also another reason.
They are drug users and a lot of the girls also have to work the streets to fund their habit.
Now I know all the arguments about these girls and what a lot of people think of them.
It is not my job to judge people or to add to the misery that is going on around them. In some cases they leave their children behind because they can't or won't stop using drugs. Others do it because they genuinely believe that their children are better off being brought up with someone else.
Other girls have their children taken off them by social services.
I have three children and brought them up on my own so I know how difficult it is rearing kids on your own.
I just think that unless we walk in someone's shoes we don't really know what it is like to be them. Life is already difficult enough for them so instead of judging I support them in whatever way I can.

Don't get me wrong i know some woman have no choice, a cousin of mine is in rehab right now and the father is rearing the children and refuses to let her have any contact with her, which is breaking her heart, and she has been clean for a while now. She was a good mum but drugs came first, To me its an' Easy option' to bail out of your responsibility! If you choose to have children, you should also make the commitment to rear them as best you can, I'm no angel we all make mistakes, but i keep my private life private,i have my fun when my kids are not around,maybe one or two days a week, the rest of the time i'm 100 per cent'MUM'. We all have choices, its not all black and white.

i think every parent does need a break..wether its a night out or a couple days...aas long a the kids are fine and well cared for in that time i think its important to have that time for yourself just to be you not mammy or daddy, cleaner, nurse, and all the million of other jobs it takes to be a parent...but theres no way i could just walk away from my kids...i might as well rip my heart out and stamp all over itMore Threads
