There is so much negativity surrounding being a single parent. Everything you read describes the financial, emotional and spiritual woes of post divorce life. You’ll have a harder time paying the bills, “they” say. You’ll be lonely, “they” say. You’ll have most of the day to day interaction with the kids which will be emotionally exhausting, “they” say.
Single Work at Home Moms
Being a single mom AND working at home? Its not double duty…its quadruple!
It’s almost time!!
The reason I started this site was to help other single moms who do work at home or want to work at home. I wanted to help with everything from finding extra sources of income to keeping your sanity.
Online Dating Safety
If you have been out of the dating scene for a long time, it can be scary. Meeting new people in a romantic setting is daunting under the best of circumstances. For the single mom, dating must be balanced with caring for your family. Here are a few tips to date safely.
Healthy Weightloss Success
One of the many difficult things about being a single working mom is trying to eat healthy on a budget. With a loaf of whole wheat bread and a gallon of milk costing about $4 a piece and a double cheeseburger going for 99¢, its tempting to hit the drive-thru.
The New American Dream
It used to be that when people spoke of “living the American dream”, it referred to being successful, wealthy, and having a lot of stuff. But things have changed. Our economy is different and our values are different. Now the American dream is more about personal fulfillment, valuing family over career and living comfortably rather than lavishly.
Finding time for yourself
Parents have a hard enough time finding time for themselves but as single moms its even harder for us. There’s no one there to pick up the slack. You don’t have the option to ask someone else to take care of the dinner dishes while you give the kids a bath. (Well, unless you have older kids. But we all know that sometimes its easier to do stuff yourself than try to get them to do it!)
Badmouthing Your Child’s Other Parent
While common sense should tell us that its inappropriate to speak negatively (badmouth) your ex in front of the kids, there will be times where your emotions and opinions are so strong that you find it hard to bite your tongue.
Welcome to Single WAHMs!
We will be featuring articles and information from women who are or were single moms working at home.
We all know that being a single mom takes a lot of work and you’ll often find yourself in the position of being both “mom” and “dad”. And when you’re working at home, you’re trying to juggle both working and parenting.
That’s why our tagline is “It’s not double duty…its quadruple duty!”
We’re here to help. Whether its giving advice or suggestions, or just socializing with other SWAHMs, we hope you find what you’re looking for.
