[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read all these comments, suggestions and general rages but really, if was to know really look at yourself as a human, a parent and role model to your child.

Is a child's maturity at a young age a result of their parents neglect? or is it just how they are? Really I think it's because to an extent, they understand the hardship you have to go through in life. but I still doesn't make up leaving them to fend for themselves. I look back on my childhood and remember nothing really FUN,I grew up awkward, unsure of what kind of person I was supposed to be. My mother worked all the time to provide for us, and I'm so grateful for that, she gave me and my brother more and more things, but what we really need was the love of a mother. Material things will fade and break, yet nothing will be more important than the values, beliefs and love you give to your children. 
They won't stay young forever, there will come a time where they won't love you unconditionally anymore.

And to all those parents in the comments saying "I don't like my child to have around that kind of bad influence." Well then what kind of parent are you? what if your kid was though of this way, or how about this, we all know what bullying is and your going it to a kid! a little kid who doesn't know any better and who had no say in how they grew up, so excuse my language when I say you SUCK! They probably get bullied enough in school, why do u have to do it too?! 
To be shunned for reason they can't understand at that young of an age, it sucks.

Being a kid should be fun, and nostalgic for when they grow up, to have memories to look back at and smile when days are dark or when things are stressful. But to ease all those reading this and fearing their child will turn into some horrid rebel, you just have to have faith in them. Yes we will rebel because well hormones and teenage stupidity kicks in but its your jobs to love us unconditionally and help us grow out of it. If not, someone else will take that role and you may lose your child. Love should not be earned like trust, it is immeasurable and unconditional, but if u turn it into a currency well then like our dying government's economy, you will be left in a debt without your child for many years to come.

Now if you're still reading this well then you're probably rolling your eyes thinking "who the hell does this person think she is, what the does she know?!" or scared to death of the horrors that await in the future, or taking me with just enough seriousness to understand what I'm trying to say. But just for the heck of it, I will tell you my credentials. I was and still am one of those "mature kids", who's grown up into a normal high school student. I've been alone at home since I was 6 with my brother, taking care of the house while my mom worked. I've been bullied and have been the bully, which to this day I regret with my entire being. I make mistakes and learn from them. I've gotten a job in middle school at a day care to just. . . well satisfy my own selfish want of wanting to take care of others since I'm so used to it. But more importantly to this day, no matter how much I hated my mother in the past for never being there at concerts, for my birthday, Christmas and a lot more, I have a profound love for giving me birth and going through the hardships to insure I had everything I needed, for teaching me life isn't fair but you can change the chances.I don't have the chance to tell her that, but you have the chance with your children in the now. Hug them everyday and tell them you love them, and thank them for just being there cause if you don't say it, they will never know. Let them be selfish once in a while when they want to stay in bed with you for 5 min more, or if they want one more book or cookie, because nothing lasts forever.
