For so long, there has been a negative connotation attached to "Single Parenting"- I am here to tell you that being a Real Single Mom in this century has only one connotation and that is : Power.
Whether you are a single mom by choice, chance or circumstance, it is with complete courage and fortitude and a lot of xanax that I can tell you firsthand why being a single mom has its advantages.
Here is a Top 10 List(my opinion)
10)You get to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day (Double the home-made gifts from your kids)
9)You can make pancakes for dinner
8)You meet a lot of other great single moms who are on the same quest
7)You become the poster mom for multi-tasking, juggling and making your dollars stretch
6)Every day is Independence day
5)You have an excuse for not dating lame ass losers
4)You are very popular at the child support enforcement office
3)You can make fun of not-so-real single moms like Denise Richards and Kimora Simmons (are they kidding?)
2)You get the tax credit
1)You are officially known as "Head of Household"
So as you can see, being a Real Single Mom in our century has its perks. It is definitely not negative and certainly nothing to be ashamed of. So when someone looks down at you or tries to say that you have a "broken household" and therefore your kids will grow up being thieves and prostitutes, you just smile and say, "We're having pancakes for dinner tonight, would you like to join us?"
Real Single Moms Rock On!
