Single Mom Misconception

There is something that really bothers and makes a lot of single moms laugh.  A huge misconception a lot of you non-single ladies seem to make.    That would be the idea that we are desperate for a man, your man in particular.   Ive had a lot of my other single mom friends tell me how they get left out of groups and watched more carefully by previous friends.   Stories where friends who were once quick to complain about their spouse, suddenly want to make sure how much they make their husbands happy (we aren't stupid ladies!).

The fact is, most of us are terrified of relationships!   Most of us are in the position of being a single mom because we had a really bad relationship where either we were desperate to get out or we were left.   Sure!  We all have times when we are sick of of doing it alone.   We want other men to step up and be good role models to our kids and work hard to find people to put in that place for our kids.    But the idea of being in a relationship has a hundred reasons of terrifying.  We are exhausted and not sure we have the time for a man, let alone the time for chasing after your man!  We are terrified of making the same mistake a second time.

So rest easy ladies.   How about using that energy to just be a good friend!   In fact, having some true blue female friends is very hard to find these days!   (Im blessed to have one of the best!   But you can never have enough).
