I have recently been struggling with the thought if I am a good mom. My husband has been deployed since my son was 6 months old he is now 19 months old and my husband still has 1 year left overseas. I once worked day full time and my son was in daycare for 11 hours a day. I'd come home cool dinner give him a bath and then it was bed time. I felt he was being cheated so I quit my job to stay home with him. Now ii feel as if we both get bored because I'm always yelling at him telling him don't touch that it's hot or don't do that. I know of no single mothers in my area and he is to young for any of the park and recreation activities that our county offers. I love my son with all my heart and he is my world all I want to do is keep him safe. But question myself all the time. My parents live 3 miles down the road and my in-laws about 10 miles and neither of them ever offer to help or give me a break. If you have any suggestions please suggest. Thank you for this.

Kids with special needs - all the more so. Unconditional love is so much a part of that. Kids manage best, and sometimes even thrive, when they feel secure in their important relationships.

It's hard to fight against those categories, but it worths it.
