I am a young lady raising 4 children alone and I would do anything for these children of mine I would take a bullet and or be stabbed to death for them as they are mine to protect always and no one else is going to do that,  but bare in mind we all need time to ourselves and you deserve that time whether you are going for a walk or jsut going to a friends house you deserve that,  sometimes ppl can stay that you are being selfish but really they come first in everything that we do or should be first in our lives,  they are lucky to have a great mom who is there as there is other moms that are not there as they are either to busy and dont want there kids and or they waste there money on drugs and alchol and not to think about there kids are hungry at home and want to have something to eat whether its pj and jam sandwiches they have food in there belly so you are a good mom and congrats to you all the best  to you i am sure that they are proud to have you as a mom because i know that i would be proud if you were my mom

i dont feel that a women needs a man she may want a man but to really need one i would have to say know and I am a women raising 4 kids on my own and get no help from the kids father and yes all the kids have the same father and its pretty hard to get that from a dead man and he died in the september 11 twin towers and well he was a a great man no money in the world will bring him back  so to answer that question i would have to say No
