#SingleMomChronicles: Regret, But Not Really
So many stipulations and unspoken rules are imposed on us single moms. Like there is a whole society dedicated to that or something. We are supposed to work full time, cook, have a clean house, be in shape, have our hair done and smile at like, all times. Come on, give me a break! That is crazy and super unrealistic. Just because there are some people in this world that call me "mom", doesn't mean I am not just a regular person. I hate feeling like I am being held to a different, often higher standard. Why? I really would LOVE to know. No one know though.
