single mom

I think being a single mother can be as hard as you make it. If you get the feeling that you're alone then you can overwhelm yourself. I've done the single mom stuff and honestly I found it easier after they reach toddler stage. There isn't any going between mom and dad to get what you want. I think it offers consistancey and you have strict standards because it's just easier to maintain your household when only one person is in charge. I don't want to sound bitter, but what I'm saying is being a single mom IS wonderful. You made a choice to have this wonderful little boy. Some moms are like this from the time the babies born, or they form their own family through separation or divorce. All in all, it's what you make of it. I don't think it takes more strength, but do believe that the rewards are great because it is all your own. Sounding scared is natural. To be honest it's good. That's says you are being realistic. Being a parent isn't easy, it's not supposed to be.

hi friend,you are strong mom.as you said you have more direction and goals coz you have your son.great mom! anyway,kid will be grow up day by day,but he is always your son but oneday he leaves for work or his new life.what will you do?i am single mom too.but i an tring to look for my true love even if it is not easy things.good luck and be good .

Babies are so special. I know the decision to keep him was difficult and the years ahead must be daunting, but if you take it one day at a time it's easier. I'm not a single mother, but my husband was in the Air Force and he was away from the family quite often, but it's not the same thing as having all the decisions resting on your shoulders. Hopefully you have a good support base. If you don't it would be a good idea to build one, carefully. I wish you and your son the best. Congratulations!

I am not a single mom but as a woman I laud you for this bold decision. A baby is always a welcome addition to the family but to play the role of both the parents is really daunting for one person. I just loved the way you say ‘just the two of us’…it sounds so perfect and in sync. I with both of you all the best in your lives.

First I must say that I want to give you props. being a single parent is hard and I know because I have been there and done that. I do want to say that you might find someone down the road so someday you might not be alone. It can be done but it is not easy and I commend anyone who does it. I realize some people do not understand it but I do and I say good luck to you but please do not dismiss the fact you might find someone down the road:)
