Also I never understood anyone publishing stories abt their children on blogs. I highly value privacy and just thinking abt having that information public knowledge is just wrong. Facebook you can set for friends only, a blog is public for all to see. So that argument doesn’t hold water.

Any dollar you make is exploitation for money. And the fact that you’re willing to do it for only 100 dollars a month is even worse.

Good luck in your business! Hire a good CPA and lawyer and don’t spend frivolously no matter how much you charge your clients. This economy, it’s hard to grow your business, so I commend you for following your dreams!

Also hope it works out with John, but I’m the type not to jinx anything and to publish on your blog that you’re headed towards engagement and he reads that, and maybe you’re not on the same page is not so good. Unless you’ve talked abt it, but still I think anything premature pretty much ruins everything.

Not even sure if you read your comments. I found you through PW’s site. Now there’s a commendable woman. She certainly has children but doesn’t exploit them on her site.

You’re operating from bias here, not facts. There is no “irrefutable” evidence in existence that says that children from “single parent households fare far worse” than other children. Any research that comes to those conclusions has been methodologically unsound and culturally biased, or at the very least riddled with limitations that make the results far from irrefutable. Do yourself a favor and stop pulling ideas out of your ass and calling them evidence (because it makes you look like a crazypants).

You are:
1. You are weak.

To Michelle~
You are:
1. You are judgmental and in this email you sound like an idiot.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, yes, but if Michelle hates this blog so much, why can’t she just not read it? Seems pretty simple to me….

Ms. Single Mama,
I am a very happily married mommy, and I do think in an ideal world every child would have two loving parents in the same household. However, I am not delusional, and I know that in some cases, this is simply not possible, nor the best thing for anyone involved. Though kids are devastated when their parents split up, I have read so much research that says kids would rather be from a broken home than living in one. Good for you for saving your adorable son from the turmoil and drama of your former life. How awful that would have been had he grown up with such a terrible role model and and poor example of how he should treat his future partner.

I am a rather new reader, but i think your blog is funny, inspiring and lovely. You clearly adore your son, and you seem like an amazing mama. Oprah always says, “You are not what happens to you; you are what you choose to do with what happens to you.” I believe in that completely, and it seems you are living proof of that. While you could have just given up on yourself, you didn’t, and you made your life better for yourself and for your child. What an amazing gift that was to both of you!

Don’t listen to anyone who does not know you are a WOMAN, not a WOMEN.

I know children from two parent households who fare worse in life than some from one parent households. Think quality, not quantity. There are just as many adults, coming from two parent households that abuse drugs, drop out of school, etc.

My parents were married for 17 years. I watched them fight (a lot!). In fact, their marriage taught me about the kind of relationship that I never wanted to wind up in. My mother, after years of his cheating, verbal, sexual, emotional abuse finally left him! I was 10, my older brother was 15. Yes, we had to move to an apartment (for shame!) in town.

My older brother graduated 3rd in his high school class, I graduated 23rd of 186. We both went to college (we just had to work to pay for it). He double majored, has a master’s degree, and is looking to begin working on a Ph.D. He is employed in his field as a teacher. I have a bachelor’s degree, made the Dean’s List several times, and work as a nurse.

Just logged on to wish you a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !! – what other holiday could mean so much to YOU!
