Embattled Teen Mom star Farrah  Abraham says that despite what the rumors and her haters might say,  she's a model parent to her baby daughter, Sophia.
Amid claims she  left Sophia at day care for 12 hours a day and up to seven times a  week, she defiantly declared Friday: "I would never forget my daughter."
Childcare  worker Brittney Scheer, a licensed provider in Council Bluffs, Iowa,  says Farrah walked in, "showed me the diaper bag and went out the door."
Busy as she is, Farrah feels she's a  model single parent.
"I'd have Sophia all day, every day,"  Scheer said. "Farrah left the baby with me to run errands and shoot MTV.  Sometimes she'd forget to come get her."
Farrah Abraham, who's fighting  for control of Sophia with the family of her late boyfriend, Derek  Underwood, says in an interview that this is baloney.
Asked why  Scheer would lie, Farrah answered "to use Sophia to make money from that  magazine ... it's really sad that somebody would use a child."
Defending her lifestyle and parenting decisions, she  says, "I don't know how I would EVER forget my daughter. I love her and  she's all I think about."
According to Scheer, Sophia's  development seems worryingly slow and she couldn't walk. Farrah says she  can, and has been for about nine months.
Noting that Brittney  hasn't seen Sophia in months, Abraham calls her daughter "a nice child"  who "knows her manners and is friendly with others."
As for life  as a single mom, she admits "It's VERY difficult. The first time I had  to drop Sophia off at my grandparents' house, I cried. It tears you  apart."
"I'm always very concerned and looking out for her, also, I  just want to say that she always has clean clothes, food and has  everything she needs."
"The only time I use a babysitter right now  is when my mom or grandmother can't watch Sophia, when I'm at school or  working I have to use a babysitter for a few hours sometimes. I have  responsibilities and I'm a single parent."
So there. Take that, Stormie  Clark!
