I have no clue. I can barely take care of myself.
Being a parent is difficult. Being a single parent is more difficult. Being a single parent with limited money is probably the most difficult job in the world. I grew up with my mother as my only parent. My father died when I was in kindergarten. We didn't have a lot of money. There was enough to attend private and Catholic schools, but not much else. Education was a priority. It wasn't easy for my mother. She did her best and sacrificed for my younger sisters and me.
I think that parents need to have the ability to love, feel compassion, and be generous. Parents should be able to financially support themselves and their children. I think parents need to have a support system and an outlet to keep them sane. They also need to have a desire to be a parent. I'm sure that there are a dozen of things I am missing from my list.
