Join me on the rollercoaster….
Of Motherhood, Single Life, Co-Parenting and just being Me
Intro
If you are the type of Mom, or parent who likes your child every moment of everyday this blog is not for you. I want to congratulate you and say thank you for being that parent or Mom, the Lawd knows we need y’all.
By that I mean you help me (if no one else) be reminded that we are not the norm parent and that I or we are absolutely, ok with that. You also give us tips and new things to try with our kiddos that sometimes work wonders and save us from future problems. And other times the tips will cause us more problems and then I had before or just don’t work for my kiddos. None the less I appreciate you, the info, the hope and tips you give.
With that being said, this wonderful, funny, and sarcastic blog is for the Mom or Parents who every once in while have the thought I love my child, or they have the moments where look up at the ceiling and ask the Lord WHY!!!!! I am here to say that you are not alone, I am here for you. I will say the things that some will have thought and didn’t have the guts to say out loud. And yes!! I know some will call me a bad mom, person or parent for it but oh well.
I am a single mom, who has two wonderful boys, who on most days I adore them completely, but I have just as many moments I don’t like them at all. Don’t get me wrong Oh I love them but, in the moment, where my youngest kiddo has dumped a whole box of salt in the sugar jar – I don’t like him. Oh, he was not my favorite, and I could have cried! Why you asked cause neither one is cheap. Groceries are steadily going up and sugar and salt are necessary in everyday living. I had just bought groceries and was doing my normal restocking.
I stepped out of the kitchen after putting everything up to sit and watch tv while my little ones do what they do best run around and play. When I noticed all of sudden it was quiet. All parents know that when your child or children go silent someone or something is going to get hurt, broken, or possibly be destroyed. After getting up and investigating why my boys were quiet, I found my youngest doing his best to refill the sugar jar only it wasn’t sugar at all it was SALT! I don’t know if I started counting to ten before or after I called his name or when I saw the startled look on his face that said, “OH MY GOD- MOM”.
I can honestly say that the best course of action at that time was for him to go hang out with Grandma while I got my mental and emotional life back together. Trust when I say once I was back in a state where I could make sure he understood that he would never do it again, he has not.
Back to the Basic
#Single #Momboyoftwo, and I should also mention that I have two Dads that go with them. Now, I can honestly say I have been blessed with Fathers who are involved with the kids. They are very hands on, and we all do our best to co-parent and respect each other lives. It’s not easy by no means but we do our best. Our goals are to train, teach and encourage our boys to be the best they can be and to be awesome additions to society.
About
