Do you ever feel like you just keep doing your best and doing your best and it's still not enough? I am so tired of this. Her dad is a great guy but he is out of state so he only visits every so often and we are unable to be together we just don't see eye to eye. My parents are dead my sisters both have mental issues and or drug problems depending on the day of the week. His family is just crap alcoholics or nutcases. I seem to have no support and I am tired does anyone feel like this? Unfortunately all of my friends have normal lives or I would ask them so now I am reduced to whining to a q/a forum Jesus how did my life turn out this way? lol am not that miserable.

your doing a fantastic job I know it must be hard but your a brilliant mum and am sure when your daughter turns into a successful adult she will look back and realize all you did for her. x x x

Yeah, I do, and this weekend is a prime example. My son's father (and his family) are nowhere in the picture. They've never even laid eyes on him. While I think my son is the greatest joy of my life, it gets frustrating having NO help. My mom helps some, but it's frustrating as hell when I'm in the middle of back to back 12 hour shifts, and I have to go home, feed the baby, bathe him, bathe me, eat dinner, then immediately crawl into bed to get ready for another 12 hour day at work. I want to have quiet, fun time with my son, not busy-from-the-moment-I-get-home time.

I do know how you feel. I work full time can't take my daughter to school,because i have to be at work. My friends did not have kids when I had my daughter, a couple of them do now. I just don't hear from them. My other friend just doesn't get it. It is hard being a stereotype. I know there are others out there. I just wish I knew one of them. I have a pretty good support group, my parents. I feel for you not having a support group, family. As much as people try, they really just don't get it. I feel like I'm working just to get by. I wish i had more time to spend with my daughter. I envy woman who are able to work part time, because their husbands make so much money. I just try my best to remember my daughter's little face when it gets to me. Its hard but I wouldn't take it back. My daughter is the best. I empathize with you. Take care of you, take care of your baby(they are always babies).

I feel you. I'm the only one of my friends, except one, with kids. Her dad has never been a part of her life physically (never held her or seen her in person). His family is crazy and I don't want them involved even though they don't try. I feel a little hopeless, but then I look at my princess and I'm good....she looks at me, jumps in my lap, gives me the tightest hug, and says "I'm gonna keep you forever!!" It's worth it.
