So,
As a single mom, I worry a lot about how I'm not able to provide for my son the way I would if I were in a two parent household. I'm not necessarily speaking about finances either. But I would be able to have a little more time to spend with Zavy, if I was not the cook, the maid, the teacher, the coach, the tailor, etc. I do try my best, although my best may only be 3 home cooked meals a week sometimes, and more than 1 hour of TV one night a week. Hey, it happens sometimes.
So, you can imagine I was very pleased to hear some of the other moms at my jobs, weren't so perfect either. One mom confessed that during baseball season, her family eats out 6 out of 7 nights of the week. That's right...MacDonalds, California Pizza Kitchen, KFC, she does them ALL. Phew. I felt guilty allowing Zavy the 1x a week happy meal!
Then, another mom confessed that she was attending a parent conference meeting at her child's school because her child was failing 4 out of 5 classes. WOW! Now, Zavy is only in 1st grade, but he is doing above level in all of his subjects...so at least I am doing something right.
I think the lesson I learned here was that it doesn't matter whether you are in a two parent household or not, as long as you do the best you can. Regardless of the circumstances.
