Story of one of our moms... Anonymous

1/8/2015

2 Comments

 

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.

I can understand your wanting to give your boys the world and struggle as a single mom. I'd like to help you. Do your boys like Lego's? I have several sets I'd like to give you. I can drop them at PO Box. I'm a member of Woman's Life Chapter 701 of SWFL and we do lots of work in Lee County. Let me know at the above email address what we can do to assist.
