Single mom and loving it!

I admire single moms. I think it takes a certain kind of character to be one and to actually survive being one.  A single mama needs to work doubly hard to support her child.  She needs act both as mother and father to guide her kid. Gosh, i have a partner and it's still a big challenge  for us to raise a son, how much more for solo parents ?

My sister became is a single mom  at age 20. And i see how tough being one is.  I see all the struggle she has to face and i share in here little triumphs as a solo parent.  I think every single mama needs strong family support to thrive.



One of the moms i met online is fab and proud single mama Junette Austria.  She's 21 years old and currently based in California. She is the proud mama of cute one year old  Mimi.  She and my sis are of the same age, their kids are the same age too!

I asked Junette what she thinks are the perks of being a single mama. She candidly answered:

"My child's hugs and kisses all goes to me and I love it!  We can have one on one time with each other anytime and anywhere. She's so tiny she's like a teddy bear your hugging at night. Your bond with her is stronger because you only have each other and rely on each other for everything. She taught me so much things about myself that I never knew."

Junette has this to say to all single mamas:

"Keep your head up high. You're the braver one. You have to learn to move on. Focus on yourself  and your baby because even in a situation thats not optimal, you can still rise above it and be a stronger person."

Kudos to you, Junette for such a positive outlook!
