I completely agree with this. No amount of money in the world can ever be better than the true daily care and love of a parent who shares their lives each day. There are so very many small ways that will add up to you always being there for them, and making a difference. Sharing fun and sadness, good times and bad.
When I look back on the times I had with my children when they were young, despite living in relatively fortunate circumstances, it is all the things we did for free that were the most memorable and fun.
We lived near the coast and had beach days with picnics. Bike rides along a lovely trail that had once been a railway. Running on the downs with our dog when he was a puppy. Making funny hats for school parades and competitions. Putting noddy costumes together out of the dressing up box. Painting their faces as lady birds or zebra for a party... I could go on and on, but you don't need money to do any of this and we had such a wonderful times and have so many good memories.
Good luck to you wisp1, have faith in yourself!
