My Daughter

When we’re younger we tend to be more judgmental and naive. I despised my parents (in my teen years) for having kids and though I was still right, my mother did need me to be around and she was a good parent overall.

Having become an adult and realized how hard it is to earn a living if you’re not born into wealth, I began to appreciate my mother much more. My dad was an a-hole who left us and got remarried.

Life is much harder for women esp. if you get burdened with kids and if you are alone and have a low income.

However if you can manage to give your daughter a good life and assuming she’s not a selfish person, then she’ll help you in your old age like I’ve done with my mother.

Don’t worry your situation isn’t unique, so your daughter will realize her life is ‘normal’ like his friends.

I’m pro-choice so if a pregnant woman can’t afford to raise a child for whatever reason, abortion is the best answer.

However once you have a kid, then it’s best to keep them because you don’t know what will happen to them if you give them up to strangers, be it a foster home or orphanage.

I agree with the poster above, if you care about your child then you’re certainly a much better parent than many others out there.
