Which family model do you live in?
I live as a single parent with two children (7 and 1) in a Tinyhouse. I have my first child from a short relationship and the father is very hurt, there are still big problems because of that. His efforts are always to make it as difficult as possible for me and not as it should be, solely looking out for the child’s welfare. Therefore, with the second child, I said from the beginning that only the cup method was an option for me because I wanted to keep emotions out of this model – and it is so beautiful! We have become very good friends, see each other twice a week and look after our daughter together.
What have you found difficult in this family model?
Because the model is very modern, there were/are many critics. I am very open about it and face every discussion. It was also very difficult for my mother to accept it and at first she didn’t want to tell anyone the truth.
How was this difficulty overcome?
I said that I would not start my daughter’s life with a lie and my mother did. Now she is an overjoyed grandmother. I can only recommend this model to everyone and wish everyone with a wish to have children as much luck as I have!
