Independent Woman

I am a mother of 3 and for so many years it is my husband who financially provides for our needs. Time came when I felt restless and wanted to be independent financially, sadly my husband took it as an insult to his ability and capability to provide and before i knew it, with no explanation our marriage went sour. we are still married, we still stay together, i have found a job, and pursue my masters degree and still aspire for a higher position in my work. I don't earn big and it is still my husband who pays the bill for our home and education of our children. I know he drifted away from me and I am trying to accept it and preparing myself to one day he will leave me.

I am the only supporter of my son. I admit I do take great pride in being able to do it myself, although it isnt easy. His father has this crazy idea, that if I'm dating someone they should be helping support his child. I have never asked anyone for money to help with any household expenses, or with my son. the only thing I think I would really like is someone to maybe help out a little in terms of spending time with him. I'd love if I had a guy to take him out and play ball and that kind of stuff. Be thankful that you do have somebody willing to help you out, and be confident that if you had to ever do it alone, you could. We all find a way!

well, if i were in your shoe i would definitely fell the same, woman and human as we are we always find things that would make our children happy and give the best for our children... our partners may be there to give us our needs but there is something inside us that we crave for me.. its our ego that says we have to prove to the father of our children that we can provide the best for our kids without his help... WOman power... Im proud of you.. Goodluck to your kids..

I am a mother of three children. Two boys and a girl. I do soully support my children on my own. I pay all the household expanse as well as pay for everything that the children need and want. Even though I have been in a relationship with my partner for six wonderful years I am very independent. I have a deep sense of responsiblity so I believe that I am the one who should provide for all of my childrens needs myself.

Well I am a mother of one boy and I am his soul supporter. But at times I wish that it was a little easier on the both of us. NOt that I want someone to help with the money but just he can drive me crazy because it is always him and mommy. We never really get a break from each other.

funny you say this. I have been happily married for 4 years and have the desire to just up and go and support my 3 kids alone. No i dont wanna leave my husband or struggle on my own but i know what you mean. Its just a mother thing i guess. To know we can do it alone and that all our babies need is us! I dont know why though. but your not crazy!
