Should being a parent really be this hard

When you were only a child yourself looking down into the innocent eyes of the life you created you realize it's not you anymore it's your babies future. You give up everything to be the best mom you can be. When your husband says he doesn't want to be a father or husband you can't break down because you have to be the rock for your children. You work to be mom and dad. You give up everything for them. The nights I went hungry to make sure my kids always had enough. To push your child to be the very best. Only to one day have your child hate you. Do I understand why? No, I put my oldest through high school put every penny into her sports and future. Not with a dime of help from her and her sisters father. I sent the Christmas and birthday gifts "from dad" because all I wanted to do was protect there sweet little hearts. I sold one of my first motorcycle to my buy oldest her very first car to how proud I was of her. And all of this for what? I pay the bills give her a nice home work my ass off I pushed her to work so she can have nice things for herself and all she can say is I am the worst mom because I ask for help around our home. Today is hard for me. Because today I opened the door and asked my child to leave. She fails to see the struggle of being a parent a single one at that. My heart is broken and It sucks. If you have a mom love her! Don't be selfish and ungrateful especially if she did it all alone. :(

Why did you ask her to leave?
Because she is 19 and she thinks she knows everything. She told me she hated me and didn't want to be here. So I packed her car with everything she owns and told her I wouldn't stop her

@DidIHurtYourFeelings: I was 19 not too long ago, believe me when I say that something like this would have never taught me what you think it will.
@offingg: I have set the ground for my child. What more can a mom do? I am tired I have done parenting for 19 years. I was a mom at 16 I pushed her to never fail like I did. My mother let me do as I pleased and here I am. I don't want this life for my kid. But when you beg and plead and push and get nothing then it's time to give up. She is a adult. I can't force her to stay. She is a great student she plays sports she has no kids and doesn't drink or do drugs I have done my job
