I'm the single parent who made that comment. It's so important to be an involved parent. Not just for the children but this is also your life. If I can't take the time to enjoy being a parent then why am I even a parent? Also, discipline is king. Anyone can pull a couple of all-nighters to get some work done but it takes discipline to make a multi-year plan of hard work come to fruition. I have previously considered stopping my studies but I can't accept how my life would look in 5 years if I did this. I'm giving myself a few difficult years to give my future self a much better life.

Can confirm you were, I could not remember your username until I just now saw it. Your prior commentary that I referenced struck a chord with me because I’m facing facing down the path of a life that in some ways, might look something like yours, actually with fewer pressures, but still enough to seem daunting to me right now. I’ve gotten better about my own time management than where I was a few years ago and still have a long way to go. If you, if anyone, can do all of that and still be there as a parent, then I ought to be able to hold myself to a standard that is at least almost as high. I’m not sure what I’m saying here, except, thank you for your commentary, your thoughts. In a way that is difficult for me to properly explain here, it helped me to read your point of view before and now. Good luck, for whatever that is worth to you, and I hope the best for you and your kid.
