30 Things Single Moms Want You to Know

Being a single mom is the hardest job I've ever done. I also happen to love it more than anything. I work around the clock - there are no sick days (definitely no personal days either). I raise my daughter completely on my own and still make all the money as our sole income. There's no partner to vent to at the end of the day or someone who comes home to pick up half the slack. I pay the bills, cook the meals, clean the house, carpool to gymnastics class, and still find time to spend with my daughter, who I do everything for.

So, the next time you Want to judge a book by its cover (or a Single mom by her unwashed hair and unbelievably messy house), try to remember people go through Things you might never understand. But just in case you Want to try, here's what us Single Moms really Want you to know.
