"Super Mom"
I am a 30 year old single mom of two little angels. I work full time and go to school full time. Its hard trying to juggle all that life throws at you. At times I feel as if I am alone in this. I am pretty sure there are alot of other mothers who feel like myself. The main reason I created this blog was for my PSYCH class and also to see if there are other mothers out there that go through what I go through.

Is it ok for me to have a problem with my ex partner introducing his new girlfriend to my child?
Let me clear something from the beginning I do not have any feeling towards my ex but I have an issue of him bringing my 2 year old boy to his new girlfriend. There are lots of things that to me seem weird after each visit that my child takes to his place. I have raised my consern to him of what I feel uncomfortable and he just dont want to hear it.. He says that he does not have to share what he does and goes on with our son when he is with him. To some extend i understand that and respect that but when my son comes crying saying he does not want to go back to daddy's and i heard him telling a littler girl do not hit me over the phone makes me wonder if he should have an open door policy when it comes to spending time with our son. I have a problem with her changing my sons diaper and intruding with the uprising of my child specially that they have only a month or two together. I believe its way to fast. Am I wrong with feeling the way I feel ???

Dating being a single parent..?
In today's article, I would like to address all of you single mothers and fathers out there.
I hear many songs on the radio and movies on television that address the hardships of single parenting and dating. I also have a few friends who are single parents like myself.
To satisfy my curiosity and that of the other readers, I am asking that some of you single mothers and fathers who are on the dating scene ponder and respond to the questions below.
Do you find that it is difficult to date as a single mother or father?
Are men and women turned off when they discover that you have a child?
How long do you date before introducing your child to the mate?
When do you tell the person that you have a child?
Do you ever take you child on a date with you?
How does your child affect your taste or opinions in mates?
Would you break off a good relationship because your child did not like the mate?

Should he/she have a say?
According to Custodial Mothers and Fathers and Their Child Support: 2009 released by the U.S. Census Bureau in November, 2010, there are approximately 13.7 million single parents in the United States today, and those parents are responsible for raising 21.8 million children (approximately 26% of children under 21 in the U.S. today).
Should an absent parent who by choice choose not to be around the child or comes and goes as he/she pleases have a say in how the parent who is raising the child chooses to dress him or the religion practices at home? What things should the absent parent have a right to say?
De acuerdo a una investigacion de Custial Mothers and Fathers and Their child support :2009 U.S. census Bureau dice que approximadamente 13.7 millones de Estado Unidences son padre solteros. De eses porciento 21.8 millones de ninos son crecido en un hogar con un solo padre.
Mi pregunta es la siguiente debe tener un padre ausente el derecho de meterse en la manera que el padre/ madre quiere educar a su hijo/hijas. Por ejemplo debe meterse con que religion practica, como viste etc…? Cuales deberian ser sus derechos como padres ausente que decidieron ser???

Overwhelm
It is difficult and challenging to be a parent today, and it is even more difficult to raise children alone. We as parents are often overwhelmed and lacking the parenting skills necessary to do a good job. But good solid parenting has less to do with the number of parents in the home and more to do with the quality of parenting. Whether the single parent household is headed by a mother, father, or a grandparent, raising children alone is an enormous task. Why should we care? Because the statistics tell us that most of us will live in, know of or be involved with a single parent family at some point.

Being a single mother is probably the most difficult aspect of life. Whether a woman is a single mom by choice or because of getting divorced or by God's will, it is very hard to play the role of a both the parents. Remember, a child needs the love, care, concern, attention and adoration from both the parents. If you are a single mother, you alone have to shoulder the responsibility.

It just means that you have more responsibilities than before. All you need to do is be strong and learn to face the harsh realities of life with poise.
