You often hear about programs where famous or successful people mentor young people. I wish that they could make a program where us older or more experienced mums can sign up to mentor a young single, struggling mum. Maybe when your own youngest is a year old, and you can share ideas, help, support, and baby stuff etc. Even look after the child for a couple of hours a week to give them some 'me' time. There seem to be so many girls out there doing it all alone, and doing it tough with no support from their family and friends. Perhaps if they felt that there were people who cared, they would feel more confident to make better life decisions.
I believe that what comes around goes around, and if we want to make the world a better place we need to reach out and make a difference in our community. This is just one way that I think we could do it, without making a huge sacrifice financially, as I don't think most of us would be in a position to do that. |
