Single Mom
I don’t think I ever really thought about what it would be like to be a single Mom. I’ve seen lots of single moms and even know several single moms, but to know what their life is like on a daily basis, I never put much thought into. If there are any single moms out there reading this, feel free to comment or correct me.
I imagine it’s lonely. I mean, you are by yourself on a regular basis with only a child or children to interact with. I would think it would be pretty difficult to have a deep conversation with a 3 year old.
The single mom must cry a lot too because at the end of a long day, she has to climb into bed alone, exhausted, and maybe the one thought on her mind is how she wishes she had someone to share this time with. Someone to have pillow talk with or snuggle with.
It must be hard having to be Mom and Dad at the same time….how does one even do that? How do you be the mom and be the male figure in a child’s life when you have never been a man yourself…
Single moms must be tough as nails. They probably are the strongest and most resilient women one might ever meet because at the end of it all, they endured, they suffered, but they also conquered. They came out on the other side and didn’t NEED what other thought they did.
This is an ode to single moms. Thank you for raising beautiful, smart, successful children. For being everything to them-mom, dad, nurse, teacher, cook, cleaner, chaperone, and taxi. You are what it’s all about. I mean, yeah, the married people have good stuff too, but there must be some sense of accomplishment when a mother who did it all by herself can look at her kids and say “yep, that was all me. And I did DAMN good!” 🙂
