Men... Enough Said?

Single moms can do it on their own!

As a single mom who adopted my son on my own I get comments all the time asking me when I am going to get married. Well, the answer to that is when I meet the right guy. Then that is always followed by, "I can hook you up with someone...."

I get so much pressure to date and/or get married all the time. If it is not from other people, it is from my own son! I honestly just think, well yeah... let me get right on that. Between working full time, being involved in the foster care system, taking care of the house, yard work and all of the things that go along with being a mom... let me get right on that one! 

I know everyone means well, but really why do I HAVE to be married? There are so many single moms out there doing it on their own. They are doing just fine, and I am too.

If the right man comes along, I will not pass along the oppertunity, but I am not going to be out searching either. I do not have time for that!
