I don't think that anyone can understand the difficulty of being a parent until they experience it for themselves!!! I a single 24 year old mother and I respect my mom more for how she raised me than I ever thought I could. I never thought my mom did a bad job and raising me but now i realize how good of a job she did!!! I was the problem not her!

I raised my nephew and I think he probably had to forgive me on a daily basis. He is a wonderful young man now and never forgets to tell me what a great "mum" I am. I am truly blessed.
