well am a single mom and I just want some advice from single mom's out there. what's the hardest part you have dealt…

@babyreeves, thank you very much! I really appreciate it! makes me feel a whole lot better!

@oferuiz, I've been a single mom for going on three years, over time you learn to accept it and yourself. it becomes part of your identity and who you are. never be afraid of not doing good enough. just try with what you have and don't be afraid to break down and cry sometimes. you have a while left of your pregnancy- he may come around. but remember if or when he does what you and your child both deserve. you've got this momma :)

yes this is my first baby. and thank you for your honesty. my baby daddy stepped out completely so that's what hurts. just thinking that my kid wasn't good enough for him. but I really want to learn to be the best mom I can be. I really want to show him/her the right path. I just really don't want to let it down at all. I want to give it all it needs and wants and more. I think am just scared of failure.

Is this your first? Being a single mom is tough. I'm not gunna lie. There are days where I wish I had someone there to help take the stress away or help lessen it. There are days that I cry and feel absolutely lonely, like when I get off of work at 3 am and the house is quiet and my bed is cold. But it is also the most rewarding thing ever. I have a five year old little boy and a second little boy on the way. I'm trying to teach my boys to be men one day, and the men I've had in my life are not the kind of role models I want in theirs. Their father's are both still in the picture, but a child learns how to treat the opposite sex at a young age the way one parent treats the other. Its not that they love them any less than I do, we just can't be in the same home supplying that love together. My sons will both grow up knowing that momma did everything she could to supply everything they could ever need or want. Does it mean I sacrifice what I need or want at times? absolutely. But when my five year old holds my hand and tells me I'm the best momma ever, it all makes up for it. Someday the right man will come into both of your lives. But right now he or she needs you to be strong to assure that the wrong man doesn't hold a position in their life that isn't beneficial to their growth and prosperity.
