Financial aspect of raising a child. I did not accept welfare. I did it on my own and struggled everyday at 16 trying to earn a living and go to school. Children cost so much money it is unbelievable. Right now my 4 yr.
Infants are just as expensive as teenagers.
Child development . I wish I had known anything about what to teach a child. I am 21 now and have NO CLUE on the emotional support my daughter still needs. I wish I had known how to talk openly with somebody for help and ask them what my options were and how I could get help . That is the problem.
