Exactly. Most of it's simple common sense.

Granted, I made many mistakes with my first daughter. I was divorced when she was young and was so petrified that if she wasn't happy, her dad would change his mind and decide he wanted custody. I was naive and selfish back then. And I didn't know anyone else in my situation, so there was no one to offer me advice.

That said, listen to what your parents and friends have to say. Take in the information that makes sense to you. You can't go wrong if you keep your mind and heart focused on your child's future, and not what makes life easier for you at the moment.
