 With 6 children and a husband who often works long days and late hours, I {Mandy} know what it's like to bear the lion's share of responsibility when it comes to parenting. I am a stay-at-home mom by choice, and I love it; however, some days (weeks!) are overwhelming. Some days I feel so weary that it's hard to get out of bed. Knowing how I feel on days that my husband works late and misses most of the day with the kids pales in comparison to how my single mom friends must feel. My sweet friend and blogging partner (Janelle) at Overcomer Outreach wrote a beautiful post for single moms. I felt compelled to share it here. "Friends, if you are single please know that Jesus sees you and goes out of His way for you as well. I am so sorry if you have felt slighted. Not one person has the perfect life whether they are single or married. You are not alone... even though many days you might feel that way.

First as a mom of 7, (including twins) i TOTALLY can relate to you Mandy...we've had times of hubby not working so much (40-50hrs) and now back to 50-60+). Most of my kids are grown, but yes, when the olders were younger especially, hubby missed out on a lot. (then the twins were born, so everybody got ignored. lol, well maybe not so much lol. But i too, have single mom friends, I cannot fathom having to deal with all of the kid/school/errands/household chores/household fixings that they have to. Leave a Reply. |
