Single Moms Support Thread

[Misanthropic Superhero]

I thought there should be a thread here where single moms could come to let out their frustrations or talk about what they like about being the only parent.

Personally, I'm more happy as a single mom then when I was married. I was always the one making ends meet anyways, so now it's easier without one more (very annoying, destructive ) person to support. That and I can raise my daughter how I see fit instead of having to compromise with my now ex's wacked out insecurities. But it is hard in the fact that I rarely get breaks now. Like for instance sometimes my daughter wakes up really early, and now I have no one to trade off with for that. Or that going grocery shopping used to be my time to zone out, but now I have a toddler grabbing stuff from anywhere within reach. But then again, it's better than being forced to watch wrestling.

Did he bother to work??? Was he like a second child? That really annoys the fuck out of me when they are...
They say single mums cant do it all, have the energy to work and look after house and kids, how are you managing? I applaude any woman that can pull it off.
