With the less than a hundred dollar SSS pension and earning part time in sales, I feel it's not enough to support a pretty good life for my family. Although my two children are earning already, still I could feel I have to earn more. They're responsible but they can't buy all they need for themselves as they're obliged for the expenses at home. As a single parent for 19 years am grateful for their status now. Still I feel am irresponsible, do getting older single parents or even those who are retiring, feel the same?

Hello dear bing. To begin with, I think that you have been already so great a single mom to your kids, as can be seen from one of the previous discussions that I have read and responded to. I don't think that you should feel irresponsible because your kids, for sure, are already appreciative of your great effort done to them to have already brought them up due to your sacrifice for them. Even I, a friend of yours here at mylot, am so appreciative of your being a great mother to them. We have an old saying in China, "kind people are always rewarded for what they have done." I still won't forget the touching discussion of yours that moved me to tears.
Best regards to you and your family!
