would you do anything?

this wprld is a big place and every many things hapen, sometimes we feel that the storm is not going to stop but it does sometime or the other, when bad comes to worse people do any thing to try and sail smooth and some people face bigger storms in life, but what is this life except a test all the way and for others a storm all the way through. but when a person really gets down to thinking he or she can really get to do something that will keep him or her going, they are known as the real heroes, they set an example for all around them and a chain so strong that people write about, they are leaders who people love to follow and be like. i just wish you are one of the leaders who inspite going through whatever will keep going with your faith in the CREATOR who made these storms for a reason and illuminate the thoughts, paths and life of others. this is strength, truth and hope. love and smiles of the best kind always for a sensible and bold girl that is you, apple.

I would do anything for my kids. Plain & simple. Of course there are lines that you must draw and I think its different for every person. Maybe being an escort would be something she couldn't do.

There are other ways to get food for your kids if you are in need. There are food pantries and churches that will help those in need.

I think that would be a personal decision and nobody would really know what they would do unless they were in that situation. Being a mother myself, I wouldn't knock anyone for doing whatever they had to do to make sure their children were eating and healthy.

I have raised 4 children on my own and I have been dirt poor and I do know what it is like to worry about the next meal etc. No I would never ever compromise my values. I have lowered my pride and asked for help but never would I lower myself to that level. In my struggling and surviving the toughest times I do believe my girls learned from example. They have learned some great survival skills as well as values and self-respect. There were times that I could not come up with 1.00 for popsicles for them to split but i will say they never went hungry, cold or naked. I did alot of odd jobs for a little extra cash and worked my tail off to raise these girls. Raising kids is not all about feeding them and clothing them. it is about teaching them how to be and being an example to them. Sorry,there are many alternatives other than selling and cheapening yourself. By even going that route you are putting yourself at a risk and you are your child's lifeline.

Your friend shouldn't took that stern reaction on you because you were only on open discussion. Where anyone can freely has own mind of thoughts. Just like on myLot, any member can has own say in responding to a discussion. Maybe she is a sensitive type of person. And don't like to have any negative traits in live. Anyway don't take things too hard, be persuasive and not worth it loosing friend just because of small discussion. Put back your friendship right on the track. That is what friendship mean, argument is a must but take things positive.

I always believe that parental love is the most magnificent and valuable one. Moms could sacrifice themselves for their children. I strongly believe that a healthy mom could always earn a living through manual work instead of doing something not accepted morally by our communities. I had been brought up in the country side and had witnessed lots of people here brought up their children by their hard work or their skills. In this way many of the grown up were well educated and became graduates. They definitely will respect their moms and appreciate their efforts.
