There is no easy way out.

One of the hardest things about being a single parent is making the decision about work. Do I take more hours to make more money to make ends meet, which would mean less time with my kid, or do I decline the extra hours, tighten the budget and spend one more night a week with my kid? You think it would be an easy decision.. it's not. The worst part is, I have to make this decision by myself. There is no one I can turn to for advice on this. Its a dilemma, and all sides need to be considered before I make my choice.. I want to make the best choice for my kid.. Welcome to another lonely stressful night of agonizing decision making. My biggest wishes are for my kid to grow up happy and healthy, and to pay the phone bill, the cable bill and the electric bill all in the same month. Such simple things.. why do they seem so in-achievable?
