My dh and I both work full time. We split all the housework 50/50, both spend one on one time with the kids, he is responsible for the car and garage and I the yard and garden. We have an amazing sex life and love one another very much. It surprises everyone because he is so manly and buff, but he is honestly the most caring,loving, giving man I know. I think it was because he was raised by a single mom and she did an amazing job. I love my MIL.

Years ago when I was a single mom and needed some extra $, I became a PSO. I loved it and was good at it. I was in the process of moving and a couple wks into it I had to take a week off. You were ONLY allowed 7 days off. The phone co had a prob putting my new line in and I ended up needing 9 days off. Even though I emailed them about it they ceased all communication with me and never paid me for the work I did. The company's name begins with U ...be warned

Sometimes I think about leaving my husband. He's away a lot, and life is always easier and more pleasant without him around. I've got the single mom thing down pat. It works, we're happy on our own (my daughter and I). The thing is, I earn a LOT more money than DH. The thought of paying him spousal support and cutting our standard of living so we could support him just stinks.

I used to work the front desk at an office. When I went part-time, the mail carrier we were friends with started saying all kinds of passive-aggressive crap. I realized after the third, escalating time, that she was basically trying to bully me. This wasn't when I was young - just about three years ago. She's bitter because she had three kids, and is a single mom, and whined to me how terribly hard it is. She's older than I am, and I reminded her that we all make our own decisions and have to live with them. DH and I made a choice, and we're enjoying the result.

My 3 kids and niece go to the same school. The tuition is 15k a yr. My MIL pays niece's tuition bc SIL cant afford it. I love SIL, shes an amazing, hard working, single mom, but I just found out she has been saying ugly things to our family about how she cant stand me and how she thinks its disgusting how much $ we have. What she doesnt know is we have paid niece's tuition since kindergarten bc we feel she deserves the same edu as our kids. MIL knew SIL wouldnt take $ from us so we agreed to say its from her. We would never say anything, but my feelings are incredibly hurt.dont know what to do

After 11yrs of being together, if he goes through with it, I don't know how to be a single mom on my own.

I'm so sick of being a corporate widow. I am greatful that my husband has a job but so sick of having to do things with the kids like I'm a damn single mother. You have the nerve after being out of town every week the past 4 weeks, to say we won't be spending V-Day together. Screw you! If I have to live like I'm a single mom then getting divorced won't be that big a deal. Selfish!!!

When I met my husband at 21, it was love at first sight. We were together 6 months when he proposed and sadly from the moment my parents met him after we got engaged they hated him. They felt he wasn't good enough for me because they were country club folk and he was a scholarship kid raised by a single mom on a teacher's salary. They threatened to take me out of the will if I went ahead with the wedding. Here we are 5 years later, living very comfortably on his salary with 5 month old twin boys who've never met their maternal grandparents. I thank God every day for my mother in-law.

cont! #111157 and before anyone says anything I have 4 kids. was single for 5 yrs and did NOT put in for welfare at all. PLUS my ex did NOT pay at all. I DID NOT play the single mommy crap. I do know there are people that do need the help but she has been living with my husband (her brother and her mother) the whole time She cant handle her child even now I do it for her. Tv is just to important for her AHHHH what will happen when her child has children. That's what worries me.

My husand and I got in a huge fight today because I was ticked off over his sister. She has thousands in her bank, and claims poverity, the single mom I need the public to buy my daughter glasses, clothes, and shoes. because I don't want to. Her dang cable is more importamnt to her. She works. Just dosnt want the insurance because it would take from her check. btw the money in her account is so she can go to disnyland again. she's been off and on welfare since she had her 15 yo and just got her letter that she would no longer be elg.for it! Btw she dose get her child support.
