Kate over at Babylune has interviewed Gloria Gamat, who writes Cancer Commentary, about what it’s like to be a single mother from the beginning.
Thank you, Kate and Gloria, for such a thoughtful conversation about the real life choices mothers make every day when we’re left to raise our children more or less by ourselves. I […]
When my kid started to complain about his plumbing, the future grandmother in me didn’t waste much time. I’m not one to run to the doctor every time he sniffles, but five days of uncomfortable pee and I’d had enough. But how does a single mother make the time to get to the doctor?

Thanks to Stealthbadger for pointing me towards this article in the Washington Post about single parents in today’s military: Yearning to be Whole Again.

Fannfare is one of my all-time favorite momblogs. She’s acid funny, deadly honest and did I mention, laugh out loud?
We’ve all been there. We’ve all waited with dread, lest the nightly news lead story is, “Way Pissed Off Toddler Carried Screaming Over Father’s Shoulder, Film at 11″… with humiliating closeups of spit, redface, pounding fists and the occasional chewing […]
They were constant companions. Thick as thieves. If one couldn’t, the other could. If one was afraid, the other was fearless. If one was lost, the other found him.

A very kind friend shared this passage with me. It’s from a book he read a long time ago; these words stayed with him:

It’s difficult to talk on the phone with the Ex right now. I don’t have anything to say that doesn’t start off with, “Why?” I’m angry. While I’m excited about the life and possibilities that are opening in front of me and my our child, I’m hurt, angry and bewildered that there was apparently something […]
When we moved back to the States, I made a few conscious decisions while running around in a panic of FOOD! CLOTHING! SHELTER! WORK! This newly single mother decided that the Earth was a place worth taking care of, and that she’d better start doing a better job of it.
