I don’t think their are misconceptions of single mothers because the negative views are not linked to hard working, well educated women who really carry about the wellbeing of their kids. I think you know that as well.

I am a single mom. I have a 7 year old. I work full time while he goes to school. I will love to organize the house while he is sleeping but I am too tired! 😴I just go to bed when he does!

@fancythat4284 3 жыл бұрын

I love this! I nap when my son naps too and realized I had to clean, do laundry, and get what we need done when he is awake. I quickly had to accept that me-time and self-care is so important to be a decent mom for my baby.

I love that Chaka is educated, degreed up, and has a wonderful well paying career! That helps big time. The better paying career with full benefits we have, the better life goes for the child.

Great content! When I was a new mom, I brought so much stuff before my son was born that I didn't use. I learned to not buy because of the excitement of shopping, but buy due to the necessity!

As a single parent we must write our vision. I bought/ financed 3 homes as a single parent with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and much sacrifices. No movies out, Barnes and Nobles instead. Or have the kids put on a home talent show with friends. These are real examples of what we did. And note, just because the child or children are young and do not work they can work to earn nearly everything at home.... “teach the child while they are young and when they are old it will not depart” No one NO one married or single parenting can truly provide and raise up great productive citizens without a strong Faith in Jehovah (God Our Most High Creator). The devil is a lair and raises up liars in false clothing. We must pray for discernment to guard our children from the wicked which includes some teachers and clergy. No profession is a safe zone
