Doing it all

For the past couple weeks, my husband has been somewhat missing in action in the household and child care departments… leaving me to do… not quite all, but almost all…

So, what I really want to say, instead of having this become a rant, is… single parents rock! Seriously, for all they do, we should do something for them… so let’s do something special for a single parent… coffee, dinner, babysitting…

sorry for being so lame, I know that real single parents are even funny and interesting… blame it on the not-as-good-as-a-real-single-parent syndrome!

Oh totally…that is what I thought when dh was working that weird afternoon job…..doing the dinner and bed routine by myself all week just about killed me.

I mean..I usually do most of it myself anyway, but KNOWING I can yell for him makes ALL the difference.

Salamaat,
Not to mention single parents still need to work (sometimes two jobs) to make ends meet; and take care of all the household stuff.

Sigh…my mom was a single parent for almost 10 years or so, I don’t think we can do anything to repay her…ever.

crunchy, the dinner and bedtime routine is the WORST thing to be doing alone… I have been feeling it all week!!!

maliha, wow mashaAllah, your mom must be a strong woman!

This post made me think of how it would be if i lost my husband and became a single mother. I can barely imagine it.
