[quote=Anonymous]I grew up with a single mom who never asked anyone for help, ever. But what that meant was that if *I* needed help, I was the one doing the asking. So if I needed a ride home from a school event, I needed to ask my friend to ask their parents or I couldn’t go to the event. It was a stressful part of my childhood, to be honest, and there were plenty of other stressors, but this is the one I resent the most. Other kids weren’t figuring out their own transportation at a young age like I was. A lot of families helped me out and I’m grateful. I try to pay it forward now, if a kid needs a ride I’m the first to offer and I don’t mind if it’s out of my way. So when you’re thinking about this, think about the kids as much as the mom. They might need you to help them have a more typical childhood. [/quote]
