Grown ups–when did you start to get the hang of balancing check books and soccer practice?
I feel behind the times. I’m 26 with 2 kids but man…I’m drained and stressed. I stuggle to gain serenity anymore. I guess I’m down today and it doesn’t help that I’m a single mom, but I don’t ever want that to be a discuragment to me. Any helpful tips?
sorry to hear it but the truth is this is your life you make it happen if you dont like something then change it do it some other way im 48 and still trying to get things right but im not feeling bad about it its just life that all…. every thing will be ok just think about this ok its a beautiful day the sun its shines and theirs one red rose see it one red rose say it and close your eyes you will see it and everything will be better
that’s why my husband balances our checkbook. i still can’t, and I’m 29.
go talk to someone. a therapist will help you a lot. mine has kept me sane these past few weeks. being a single mom is hard, but you need to rely on friends and family. make sure you get EVERY PENNY of that child support. and no more kids until you find a great husband. (not lecturing, I’m sure you know.) good luck, and talk to someone. get money counseling if you need it. your kids are most important.
Honestly. I don’t know how you do it. I only had 1 kid when I was 27 and he has been a handful since. Now at 19, I am hard pressed to either kick him out or give him a hug. I don’t know what I would have done if I had 2. Know that the most important job/thing in life is being a Mom. I just recently grew up as a Mom. It was almost too late. I just eeked it out. Thank God. I almost died 4 years ago. On my deathbed, all I could think about was my child. I finally lost myself. Mine was perhaps an extreme situation, but it lead to many lessons. Email me if you want. Mom to Mom. I am always happy to share.
