Are you a single parent? If so, how many children do you have? Do you live paycheck to paycheck? Are you comfortable in your life? Do you wish you had a better support system?

My da ughter Bella - This is my little girl Bella. She's two. This was springtime 2007!
I am a single parent. I have a 2 year old daughter. I do live paycheck to paycheck. I am very comfortable in my life. I try to live life to the fullest. I do not wish I had a better support system, my family and my mylot friends are all the support I need! And, believe me, my family is awesome when it comes to helping me out, and my mylot friends, for the most part, are awesome when advice is needed!

yes I am a single parent and I live from paycheck to paycheck. I often wish that I have a better support system but in I will be graduating in a year and I have high hopes on landing a nice job once I graduate.

I'm a single parent, I have 2 daughters, and Do Live paycheck to paycheck, It's not the best thing i have going, but i am satisfied, although i wish i could save money. As for support, Maybe it would be good if it was better system, But until then i will continue as a single mom expecting no help from anyone. The only true person you can rely on is yourself.

I understand completely, I am a single mom with two daughters. I live paycheck to paycheck also, no support system and we live happy lives. Good Luck and keep up the good work mom.

I was a single parent for many years. I recently remarried and my husband has a daughter from a previous marriage. He was raising her on his own. Between us, we have 3 girls. I did, and still do live pretty much paycheck to paycheck. The outgo always seems to exceed the income. I do contribute money to my 401K and we are trying to save for the girls' education. I was comfortable being a single parent. I ever felt that my children lacked in love or care because I was the only participating parent. I do live several states away from my own family so I did not have a huge support system. I had to depend on childcare providers to watch my children while I worked and I did not have much back up in an emergency. With my new husband, I do have an excellent support system though. His family lives very close and are always willing to lend a hand if we need anything.
