Being a single Mom of two kids is never easy. Some may say being inside the house and taking care of kids is the easiest job a woman can get. Think again !!! I have experienced several people saying to me oh you are only taking care of your kids while me I have good career and I earn much. I just can't understand why do people look down on Moms staying at home. On my own experience I say being a Mom is the most challenging work any woman could have!!!
I am living only with my two kids in our home so I experienced being sick and waking up some nights on the floor because I fainted and had a slight heart attack again but I can't do anything but to stand up on my own and wake up the next morning cooking breakfast for my kids. I can't be weak because my kids needs me.
There are times when I am having my own problems in life and I cry and I needed someone to hug me at night or just hold my hand and let me feel that everything will be ok. But I need to set aside my own fears and dry my tears alone and learn to comfort myself because my kids are there needing for a strong Mom with a smile on her face each day.
It is not easy being a Mom and now a single Mom..but I am Grateful because I see my kids being raised the right way. My kids are so lovable, kind and caring. Seeing them each day growing and learning with them gives each moment pure joy. With them I learned to accept each day as a step by step process.
Through their eyes I saw HOPE of having a complete and happy family in the future. Through their unconditional love I learned to love back without expecting too much in return..just giving your purest and deepest love without any conditions. I have enjoyed my career before but nothing can replace my work of being a Mom.
I am so grateful because God gave me a chance to be a Mother, my kids are my biggest and greatest fulfillment in life.. I am Proud being a Single Mom!!!

DeleteI'd rather had few things financially but if it is for my kids peace and happiness I'll stand firm for them..thank you so much sis Marie *hugs* ;)
I have been a single mum before and trust me Sie, its definitely not easy. I was working and at the same time it was managing the home and taking care of my daughter. Money was tight so as everything else.
ReplyDeleteStop thinking of what others say and live life the way you are comfortable. I hope you are feeling better now and do take care of yourself. Not easy I know but we have to move on and you esp for your kids. I wish I was nearby you because reading through your sharing is making my heart bleed so much.
I am feeling a little better now Ms.Nava..I am looking for additional income for my kids..my ex decided not to give and my parents said if he doesn't want to give then his conscience will kill him..they said we will find other sources of income rather than begging him to give..it would also be better so he won't have any hold on us and we will also be free forever..
DeleteWe don't want even to see his shadow or even hear his voice..it is his big big loss not mine!
I'll be stronger Ms.Nava..thank you so much..your words really brings me comfort *hugs* thank you so much ;)
Hey Sie, Being a mum is the best job that a mother can have. I believe it is a hard job and my mother is like this too, she is a mother who sacrificed everything for us even so she passed through hard times, she was always loving to me and my sister, I pray may God bless her, and may God bless all the mothers that are striving to bring up a good family, you are a good mother Sie :) and so nice to read this today. Now, when the children grow up, it is their turn to take care of their parents,and may you find peace always, Take care Sie, thanks for sharing your Monday gratitude. Take care.x
ReplyDeletethank you Dana..I have been through a lot but my kids have been one of my sources of strength..honestly if not for them I could have given up my life..
DeleteI am a mother and with it comes love and sacrifice but at the end I know it is all worth it..they will always be a blessing to me..take care too and thank you for your visit ;)
I agree with you Sie. Being a mother is the most challenging part that a woman plays in her life. Even though I am not a mother yet I understand the everyday challenges that a mother undergoes to make her child's life better.
ReplyDeleteYour kids are lucky to have a mother like you who puts up a strong front so that her children can always rely on her.
More power to you dearest Sie.
I will always be there Mom Sui and I won't let anyone hurt them anymore..I will always love them and be on their defense..I am proud to be their Mom..I may not have a good career or people supporting me in my real life but my kids and I will always be together..thank you Sui ;)
DeleteBeing a single woman until now I dare not venture into being a mother and imagine myself taking care of another life.Huge responsibility. I always salute a woman who able to handle all those huge responsibility. Hugs to you Sie and may God give you more strength and courage until your kids fully grown up!

ReplyDeleteHello Ms.Nava..thank you so much ;)
DeleteI'm ok..I am still adjusting waking up early in the morning preparing for the meals of my kids..they are both going to school now so I have to prepare and cook their food ;) take care too Ms.Nava and thank you so much for your visit ;)
Shame on people who think that being a homemaker is very easy job to do...They say the same thing even after reading such 100 posts....The only way they realize the difficulty of being housewife is when they stop working outside and be housewives themselves...And it's great that you take care of your kids....They will surely appreciate your love and care towards them and feel you are the greatest MOM ever!
ReplyDeleteHello Valli..you're right they have been always saying I am only taking care of my kids and they usually look down on me..being a single Mom is difficult Valli but looking at my kids now I won't trade any job..I love them so much..work and finances are just secondary because as a Mom the most important thing is the love and time I am giving to them..it is the best gift that I can offer..thank you Valli ;)
DeleteYou are a best mom. actually every one is mom is best.
ReplyDeleteJust do your best and always be happy.
You are blessed.
Love u so much.
Hello sis ;)
DeleteI am doing my best sis..doing everything for them..they are my world sis..thank you so much for your visit..much love..*hugs* ;)
