How to become a good mom to my daughter?

April 18, 2008 10:46pm CST
Hi guys, I'm a first time mom, and at the same time not a full time mother, because of my work, my baby was staying to my mother right now, and we will see each other every weekend only, I'm afraid because how to become a good mom to her if I'm not with her everyday. Sometimes I'm thinking to quit into my job to become a full time mother so that i raise my daughter in my care, but its hard for me to quit, because at the 1st place my husband is loosing his job, 2nd,nobody can support my daughter to her needs.

It'll work out! I am helping my daughter a lot with raising her daughter. They live here with us, and I get my granddaughter off to school.. and I watch her while school is out over the summer. I know it's different that you will actually not see your daughter during the week but you will likely be able to show your daughter how much you love her, how special she is and how happy you are to see her.. and how much you've missed her. Kids know these things.. Things will get better in the future!

I agree. It may be hard in the beginning, but things will get easier. When I had my son, I had help. A few years back I had moved from one state to another for a job that paid really well. I had to have my sister watch my son for 2 months until I was able to get on my feet and financially ready to have my son live with me and back then i was a single mom. I wasn't able to see him because we were so far apart. But when i was able to get him with me, i was very happy and showed him how much i loved him and have still done so to this day. He knew i loved him and missed him. But like flowerchilde said, things will look up and everything will be fine.
