Some days I feel that my best just isn't good enough. I've done everything to keep my mom happy but she keep doing the same things over and over. She never spends time with her kids and she always put more effort on pleasing her men over her kids.

I have a 12 year old sister name Gabby, a 10 year old brother Anthony, 8 year old brother Chris, and a 2 year old baby sister name Serenity.

Gabby and I have the same dad and the youngest 3 all have different dads. I don't know how my mom ended up with all these kids, at times I feel I would've been better off in foster care. My mom barely get child support, they keep changing the amount on her food stamps, and shes only getting paid $10 an hour at this warehouse that she's been working at for 3 years and still work through a temp agency.
If it wasn't for the section 8 check she gets monthly we would probably be homeless. Her boyfriend Todd think it's ok just to come in whenever he wants, eat all our snacks, make momma moan loud to the point we have to cover our ears,  then leave.

My mom won't make him get a job. She say she's only there for him because he grew up in the struggle. I just don't get why he can't see that we're struggling ourselves. Then again that's not for him to see, it's my mom Shatima's job to make sure we are straight. He isn't any of our dads, he's really just a loaner.
But hey I'm Whitney, I'm only 15 years old, I hope you don't mind me venting, my story gets worse!!!!!!!
