I’ve been doing this parenting thing for about 10 years now. It has it’s ups and downs. One thing that helps on those really hard days is knowing that I can tag my hubby in to give me a few hours off when I need them.
I have several friends who are single parents. Not that they wanted to be single parents, but they just are.
I am amazed by these gals. How they can keep so many plates spinning at once. They are successful at their jobs, manage to get their kids to/fro dr appointments, sporting events, and more. They are efficient time managers. And most of them do not get a break.
I have so much respect for you, for your sacrifices. You don’t complain, you persevere. You challenge me to see life thru different eyes. You make the best of what you have and make no excuses for it. It’s amazing.
In a effort to be grateful that I have a hubby to share parenting responsibilities with, I will try harder to not fuss and complain when he is traveling for work, or when I have over scheduled myself and have to back out at the last minute. I will think twice about crabbing that I didn’t get my girls night out.
Keep rocking it, dear friends! I’m standing behind you…amazed at your independence and strength. I know you have rough days, but you are doing great and your kids are proof that your love and dedication are over flowing.
