Comments on: You had me at hello. http://mssinglemama.com/2009/03/31/you-had-me-at-hell/ Single Mom Dating? Real advice from a real single mom. Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:50:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Bodie Phttp://mssinglemama.com/2009/03/31/you-had-me-at-hell/#comment-46130 Bodie P Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:11:30 +0000 http://mssinglemama.com/?p=2932#comment-46130 Single parenting is like anything else--the cup's half full/the cup's half empty. It all depends on what you do with the half a cup you have. One of the reasons I wrote a whole book about what a gift it can be to be a single mom (I tremble to think what your hater would have to say about MY waste of time) is that there is a misperception that every single mom is inferior and that every single child of every single mom is going to grow up to steal cars. The reality is that while it is wonderful for children to have to loving, caring parents of whatever gender, the fact is that we don't live in an ideal world, and sometimes single parenting is the better choice. And that said, single parents never have to worry about a signficant other undermining them in the matter of vegetables, bedtime or nose-picking (hah!--gotcha). Single moms never have to make the decision about where the baby will sleep bases on a SO's desired for "private time." Single moms can feed their kids cereal, bananas and milk for supper with impunity. Single moms can choose to let the dishes sit and go play video games with the kid instead. And of course there's the flip side. A single mom is Always On. I love being a single mom. I am proud of my son. I blog about us, and he's a teenager and we live in a small town. We've talked about it, and he's outlined a few areas he'd prefer I'd avoid--and so I do. If I have a question about how he might feel I have him read before I publish, and if he winces even the tiniest bit I. Don't. Publish. It's simple.

You are a strong person and i know you want to help single women but being a single day i say thank you... As i saw that hate mail i felt sad for that woman. She just doesn’t understand.

However you are f-n hot as hell and so I come back just to see your pictures. I hope that your son never has to feel bad for being a man, though clearly your site encourages that. I'd hide this from my kids. And it is totally in-appropriate to kiss a BF in front of you kids. What are you teaching him? That relationships don't matter. That you don't have to choose well, cause you can toss them out like garbage and get a new one? Seriously you affect your son in ways you don't even understand. Please act like a mother and think of your kid first. As a man I definitely find your website offensive and somewhat untrue, unfair, and unfriendly.

You should ignore this woman and all ones like her. Do you. I'm sure you're providing a great service to women out there in the blogosphere. Don't let her get you down and stay positive!
