Work and parenting.

Everyday I think about the future of my son and how I want to be successful for him. So I’ve been thinking about going back to school and becoming a registered nurse. I would have to work my 40 hrs full time job and go to school full time, I would never have time to be with him. I know becoming a parent you have to make sacrifices but does that actually mean sacrificing my time to be with him? No I wont do that. Im a single mother & I’m all he’s got. It would be different if both parents were involve and one parent can be with the child while the other one is at work but unfortunately my babys father is a dead beat. I believe my son is only young and a baby for only a short time and I’m going to be there for every milestone even if it means working a pay check to pay check job.  Im totally fine with being “middle class” and struggle with money to raise him. I wont say struggling but “getting by” would be the better terms. As long as I can raise my son to be happy with the simplest things in life then thats all that matters. We all have different parenting. This is just how I feel about work and parenting.
