Single Moms

According to "", there are about 10.4 million single moms since the year 2006. Being a single mom is really hard because she has to do everything on her own such as working, taking care of her children, and providing for them. For a single mom it can get really frustrating and stressful at time because there is no one else there to help her with her kids. She also doesn't have any one to support her. Most single moms would probably have to find some assistance to help her out with housing and paying her bills. Even if she have a job she might not make enough money to provide for her kids and pay all the utilities at the same time. She might seek help from the county, where they offer a bunch of different benefit programs such as food stamps, child care, health care, and filing for child support.

A single mom most likely don't have much time to her or have time to relax because she is probably constantly around her kids and satisfying their needs and not her own. Taking time away from her kids or just a couple of hour will help her relieve some stress and relax a bit. She should ask her children's grandparents if they can watch her kids for an hour or so, so that she would have some free time to her self.
A single mom that has been single for a great amount of time should go out and mingle. She might find other single moms which would be a great thing because they can share their experience with each and get more advices and tips on being a single mom. She might even meet a single dad or find love once again. Find someone that might help her out as partner in parenting.

A single mom probably work twice as hard and she probably sets a higher goal for herself because she wants to give her children the best things in life that she can offer them. She works twice as hard as a mom because she doesn't want her kids to go through what she had gone through. I think single moms are the strongest women because of the hardship that they have to go through just to survive as a single mom.
