Story of one of our moms... Anonymous

I've never wanted my children to be labeled as one of "those kids", you know the kids of a single mom who constantly struggles. They are amazing kids, who in my eyes deserve the world and I never want to place them in the lime light with all the stigma. Sure we struggle, but who doesn't? We struggle together, as a family, just the 3 of us, often in silence. The love and compassion that my children have developed over the years is amazing for their ages, I attribute a lot of it to our struggles.

I am a single mother of 2 boys. Everyday life is a struggle. Some days I feel like I belong in the circus, juggling. There are never enough hours in the day. School, daycare, work, all the necessary appointment's, dinner, baths, homework, nursing boo boo's, and snuggling. I "double parent" 365 days a year. All responsibilty comes down on me, emotional, physical, and financial. While I have always worked hard, one income leaves me robbing Peter to Pay paul monthly. While I know life could be different, I wouldn't change it for the world. At the end of the day when I get hugs and kisses from my boys, all the struggles are worth it.
