Single parents must always put their children’s safety and welfare above their own needs. Just because a guy […]

some advice from the school of hard knocks

Listen up, single moms. I’ve got a story to tell. It’s got a big lesson right up front: careful what you say. It might come round and bite you on the ass.
Someone in my family isn’t speaking to me, for good reason. I opened up my big mouth and said a whole bunch of stuff […]
