Single Parenting
Being a single parent is quite difficult at times but it has been the most positive experience in my 24 years. I was raised in a single parent home and found nothing wrong with it at all and at times even thought it was considered "normal." When I started school, I learned otherwise, but it was ok. My mom raised me appropriately and tried really hard to instill nothing but superior morals and respect for me and others who come into my life (e.g. teachers, classmates, elders) When I was 18, I graduated high school and rebelled a little. To this day I have no idea why I did the things I did. The only thing I ever regret in my life is not going to college straight after high school. You hear teachers, parents, grandparents, advisors, etc telling you to never stop going to school until you are done and you agree but when it comes down to it, you are going to do whatever it is you want to do. Since I was 18, my mother has no say in the matter. All she did was make life at home tough-tough in a sense that I had to pay bills so I could see nothing was free and being a waitress for the rest of my life was certainly not going to cut it. Naturally, I wanted to party, shop, and work, as I did until I was 20, I thought I met the love of my
But then I had a miscarriage, which was surprisingly disturbing for the both of us and shortly after I got pregnant again. But present day women have many more options, whether they are not married, divorced, they adopted or were artificially inseminated, they can use the support of the government programs, like welfare, or WIC, they can even go to churches or other nearby organizations to get the food and clothing that they need. Single mothers today who were never married have a better chance of being married because pre-marriage pregnancies are less common and more easily excepted. When you're a single parent you are the boss. They could go home after the chores were finished and be with their children. Then 9 months later on May 31, 2002 at 1:58pm my son Alexander Garcia was born. Unmarried mothers usually had no one to take care of them, many had to turn to prostitution or begging to survive, much like today. We separated because I suppose we didn't get to know each other that well but in the end we are both very happy and blessed with the birth of our son and NOW realize that being a single parent is NOT easy. In the nineteenth century women relied on their families of their husbands for financial support. Today, living in the 21st century of the united states there are 11. Being a single parent is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job. Back then there were no children abuse laws and parents could punish their children how they saw fit, without outsiders interfering. Alex and I met and quickly moved in together and before I knew it, I was pregnant.
