Go Jessica.

Oddly enough a good parent can't JUST be a parent. In order for a child to grow up healthy and happy a parent single or otherwise has to be happy with themselves.

I mean honestly .. who wants a Mom who never leaves the house? Develop a hobby or 2 .. even better develop a hobby you could share with your little one after they grow some. Cooking sounds great. You might want to try something like the "Starving Students Cookbook". They are simple cheep & tasty recipies that are great for a beginner.

Here is an example (not from the book but from when I was younger and cooking for myself alot)
Twice Baked Potatoe.

Bake a potatoe (pretty obvious right?)
Cut it in half. Scoop out the insides into a bowl.
Mix in some salt, pepper (to taste), milk (to soften it up a bit) and cheese. Personaly I love cheese so I can add quite a bit. Mix it together and put it back into the potatoe shells. Use a fork to pat down the top and give it some texture. Then bake for another 15-20 min.

Seriously though. Parenting is hard. How else would all of those people writing parenting books make money? Sounds like your doing great to me.

Ken
