The Best of the Single Parent Blogosphere
Because we’re single parents and we don’t have time to read a million blogs every week, leave your favorite posts here. DON’T BE SHY. Shameless self-promotion is strongly encouraged.
My personal favorites this week
Chrissy the author of Glamour’s Storked writes about a mean woman in the grocery store who can’t even muster a smile for her adorable cooing son. This is a pet peeve of mine as well. Benjamin says “Hi” to absolutely every stranger he meets and when they ignore him … I want to walk up to them, shake them and say “What is wrong with you! Smile at my kid – you big jerk.”
In which my single mama soul mate, Morgan, admits she used to wear a wedding ring while pregnant. And then, after Lucca was born, something changed:
“I stopped wearing the ring and mustered up strength I never knew I had, to look people in the eye and say “nope!” when they asked me if I was married or had a boyfriend. What used to be a source of shame for me, now is honestly a point of pride. When I have Lucca in my arms and I am carrying two tons of groceries to the car by myself, and somehow finding my keys and unlocking the trunk at the same time–and doing this all with a genuine smile on my face, I love it when I catch someone glancing down at my bare left hand.”
Prince Charming *Warning* Blatant Rip-Off
Cyrus, a single dad reacts to my Screw You, Disney post with his own rant on Disney and Prince Charming. My favorite line: “You may be a prince, but when my kids play fairies, do you know who the King of the Fairies is? It’s me, MoFo. And it always will be.” Love it!
Single Supermama gives a beautiful shout out to her friends for being so supportive and says, “I fully intend to have the kind of family that would make a single parent (or just anybody) feel as comfortable and welcome as I’ve felt in the homes of my friends.”
Your Turn …
