hi Jenette, I'm just new here too. My daughter is a single mom and I know how tough a job it is to raise kids on your own, especially in these days. I had 5 kids and they are all adults with families now. The only thing I can tell you is that you should enjoy your kids because before you know it, they will be all grown up and gone. Be the best influence on them that you can be and keep the lines of communication open.
