Well I am a single mother of a 12 yr old and a 6 yr old! My boyfriend supports me but he lives an hr away so we only see each other on the weekends! No family support at all! So your lucky on that part! It will fall into place! I have been volunteering pretty much every night in my town for our ambulance to keep it in service for the past 1 1/2 years! Good experience though! My oldest watches my youngest if I get called out which is nice but while i'm at school or doing clinical I have a hard time to get them from point A to point B without totally messing up my 12 yr old life! You know volleyball/basketball practices and so on! Their dad helps sometimes but can't count on him! My kids are supportive and worries about me when my pager goes off on certain calls but we talk about how my safety is #1 and that fire and police are always there if needed! I wouldn't say my girls resent me for the holidays and long hours and not being able to leave town while on call but I do think they get annoyed! But, they know mommy is out saving lives and deal with it! My girls look up to me for going back to school and on some nights we do our homework together and it shows both of them they need math and those english skills in real life and to study hard to get them now rather then at 31! LOL! Hope this helps! Communication with everyone is always GOOD!!! Keep the line open!!!
