Single mother? Working mother? Single working mother?
I’m tired of labels. I’m tired of being a Single Mother. I’m tired of being the Single Working Mother. I’m tired of being tagged, cataloged, pigeonholed and discounted, disregarded, disenfranchised.
Grr. Soapbox, please.
It’s summertime. I want to be footloose and fancy free. Instead, I’m working on a national get out the vote initiative, stealing moments with my kid to soak in the good times, paying attention to my own mental and physical happiness, letting go of expectations and filling myself with the joy of anticipation, instead. But as we all know, it’s so hard to do all of this by ourselves.
That’s where Work it, Mom! comes in. It’s a neat group of working mothers, some single, some married, all with great advice and good tips and a helpful word or two when you need it most. I know it would be great to surround ourselves with like minded folks, and it’s easier sometimes to only hang with the single mothers, but there is danger in aligning ourselves too closely with what’s most comfortable. You forget to stretch, and dream, and grow. So head on over to Work It, Mom! and find some new friends.
