My mother drilled it into my head that if I had a baby out of wedlock, she
was not going to help me. I thought about it later on in my 30's, but I
couldn't see bringing another child into this world - and certainly I wouldn't be
able to pursue a job if I had one, so I didn't want to raise a kid in poverty.
AND now that my friends kids are headed into their teens, I sure am glad I
don't have to worry about a teen under my roof. Not just that, I simply don't
have the energy it would require. And living in Oakland = a teenager, not a good
mix.
Mom was right.
