A letter from a single mother!

Dear so judgmental world,

While you there speculating who I am I spend my night's awake studying, or breastfeeding, or thinking about how am I going to survive another day... While you there pointing fingers I count my coins to put food in the table... While you so wisely sharing ideas of your ideals I woke up after ‘few’ hours of sleep Rushed out of bed, dressed and fed the kids, rushed out of the house...

Dropped them at school, rushed back to work... Spent all day at work, rushing out to pick up the kids, stop by the shops,

Ensure kids attend their activities, rushed back home,

and then

It's bath time,

Homework time,

cooking,

tidying up,

prepare for the next day,

fit in family time

and put them to bed...

and...

put them to bed 15 plus 2 more times and finally do some work...

Like studying...

or if I am Lucky some ME time...!

(this is the days go smoothly...) But yet your fingers are still pointing to me...

because there’s no ring on my finger... But maybe I just got tired of the disrespect Or I will rather be alone than being with a lier Or I have been mistreated in any way Or I am a window Or I was too young Maybe I don't know who the dad is Or even could have just been a one night stand! Regardless, What is it to you..?? What makes you better than?? I am NOT feeding, loving and empowering my children day in and day out? If that is not one of the most Empowering, unselfish and real actions in this world I don’t know what is!! So dear judgmental world Before you point your finger to me Dig deeper into who you are Your words are a reflection of you

And not an image of me...

I can do anything I want,

I am a mother and I do it,

I am a Woman and I can.

Sincerely,

Thousands of Single mothers
