Single Mom Thriving; Joy of Going Solo

Society would like you to believe otherwise, but parenting solo has many benefits.

As CEO of your family, you get to make all parenting decisions. Sometimes it is daunting to be THE ONE doing it all yet there is nobody else there to question your decision.  It is a sweet kind of freedom.

As a divorced single mom you usually get time alone without your children. It does taking some getting used to at first, but once you get the hang of it, you will treasure that time alone.

You will learn to figure things out that you never thought possible. To name a few:
                    *Figure out how to use a generator when the power goes out.
                    * Figure out which valve to switch when a frozen pipe bursts and the basement is flooding with                              water.
                     *Figure out creative budgeting.
                     * Figure out how to be three places at the same time.
                     * Figure out home repairs and car repairs.
                           And perhaps the most important:
                     * Figure out how to ask for help when you need it.

Your children will figure things out too. This will make them stronger, more resilient and have more self confidence.

Last but not least, you will really have fun!
