I don't know who needs to hear this but children just need one supportive, caring, loving parent to thrive.
And that parent is you.
Reminder: Your children are learning how to be a person by watching YOU.
Be the version of yourself you want them to learn from.
Wondering what it’s like to be a single parent?
Imagine you’re trying to unlock the front door whilst carrying 8 bags of shopping and one of them breaks. And then someone throws you a priceless vase. Also, the house is on fire.
This is your reminder that being a great single parent doesn’t always have to mean:
✔️ Your house is tidy
✔️ Your meals are cooked from scratch
✔️ You’ve got your life together
✔️ You always finish lists
✔️ Wait, where was…
Me: I want a unicorn for Christmas
Santa: Be realistic
Me: Okay, I want to put my kids to bed and have the energy left to read a book or paint a picture or call a friend
Santa: What colour unicorn?
How old were you when you became a single parent?

💙 Twenties

How do you think your age has impacted your experience?
Where do you live at the moment?

What do you call yourself?

one of the wildest societal shifts happening right now is that marriage has always been optional for men, and now it’s also optional for women. and some people are ✨upset✨about this.
