I am brand new at this but I'm also quite oppinionated so this is as good a venue as any to speak randomly into the void and see what bounces back. Today is my daughters 14th birthday. I feel rather mixed about it. On the one hand I couldn't be prouder of my girl. She's always been a good kid, thoughtful, good in school, obedient etc. But on the other, I feel worse than scum because as a Mom, I want to give her nice things, new techno stuff, and whatever. Yet I find myself rather lacking in the funds department. I was, what you might say, the example parents give their young ones to "stay in school". I didn't truly grow up until it was far too late and now I struggle endlessly for money to keep my family from squaller.
I blame nobody but myself for this, yet feel very empathetic towards my children who, unfortunately have to endure the consequences of said stupidity. I pray she has a wonderful day today, and truly wish I had something to give her (other than Love etc.)
Children shouldn't grow up poor. I try hard to enrich them with knowledge, love and compassion. I am doing all that I can to rectify my financial future for their sakes, but on days like today, it just doesn't seem to be coming fast enough.
Thats all I have to say at present.
