About MSM
Prince Charming can kiss my ass.
I am a 29 year old, divorced single mom. I left my husband when my son was just four months old. I started this blog one year later.
During that first year, I was hunting – searching for someone to rescue me. And then something happened. I sucked it up and opened my eyes … realizing that I didn’t need a man at all, I just wanted one. There’s a big difference.
When you are a single mom, juggling a full-time job and raising a munchkin – it’s hard to find time to paint your toenails, let alone go out on a date. We don’t have time for rules or drama. We also look at men differently. They could look hot in that pair of jeans but will they be a good father? Would they be a good husband?
This isn’t easy. There aren’t any clear answers. We can’t make it all go away but we can make it better – piece by piece, day by day. And in the meantime we can keep each other company.
Thanks for reading and please e-mail me with any questions or issues you’d like me to write about.

hi there. i read your opinion about men , about being father , about being husband . it’s so good but i think it’s quiet late . here in the hell we have some damn mullahs that tell it to us before we get married . They’re hateful, anyway, sometimes even a donkey rocks.
Good for you that you found your mojo. Most single mothers never do. I was a single working father that successfully raised three children on my own for almost 20 years. I was married to my high school sweetheart who after 8 years of marriage died in a car crash. It was the worst day of my life and the next 20 weren’t much better but I did it.
I did it all as you can relate. I worked full time, paid the bills, cooked the meals, bought the groceries, cleaned the house, took my daughter to girl scouts and softball, took the boys to cub scouts and baseball and all my kids played instruments in music.
I tried to be both parents but it didn’t work out very good. There is a reason why boys should never be raised by moms and daughters should never be raised by fathers. They need both parents.
It angers me that men never get the press on being responsible or being responsible single working fathers. Heaven forbid the world thought men are responsible and are not only capable of raising children on there own but in a lot of cases do a better job then women.
Nice website and good for you. Keep up the hard work it will pay off. My kids are successful and I take the credit for how they turned out.
Take care

i just stumbled across while surfing the net and by far it’s one of the best ones i’ve ever read. reading your story about how you became a single mom is similar to my own; my daughters sperm donor was a financial leech and verbally and physically abusive i left him after she turned one and witnessed one of his violent behavior i didnt want her growing up thinking that type of behavior was normal and i havent looked back since. i wish you luck with your new relationship
