I know it's a repost...of a repost. I don't care. I love my son more than air but I've cried myself to sleep more times than I can count. And now I'm hoping to start grad school after I've already missed so much of his life....and I wish I could explain I'm trying to do this for both of us but no explanation gives me back the Goodnight kisses I've missed or the first basketball practices. And without his dad in the picture I just hope more than anything he doesn't feel like I pass him off to people.

I know this seems long and it's a sob story but I may have just ended another relationship simply bc I have a son. There is even more time wasted and I should stop trying. It's hard wanting someone else to join this chaos when even I wish I could trade it in sometimes. I know I never would- but I also feel like my boy would be better off with someone who could have a steady schedule or be a SAHM. *Insert Angela telling me I shouldn't have been a whore*

Okay I think I'm done. Just a hard night and needed to vent and this picture hit home. I will probably wake up in the morning less emotional and delete it. Thanks for reading this far.

Tl;dr: it's a single mom image series so a single mom story followed.

I was on the losing end of a relationship with an amazing single mom that was working two jobs and working on phd dissertation :'(

He's a swindler. The kid borrowed her money then used it to pay her, so in essence he only paid $10 for a full hour. Go into marketing, kid.

As a son whose parents always worked a ton, I love both of them, always understood why they do it and was never mad. I don't get this new1/2

shitty trend of kids being mad at parents for working. Do you fucking think they go to work because they like it?Appreciation ffs.

This is sweet, but 8 kids? Good riddance, there's enough of us. (Unless the artist intended them to be adopted)

It worries me she doesn't know where 7 of her kids are... but she's happy to sit there pondering why 1 of them wanted a tenner?

Author overdid it a bit with the tearjerker. Nevermind that there's no way in hell anyone could support 8 kids on $20/hr.

Odds are he's the youngest, the rest might be old enough to have some independence. Or they're in the countryside.

If it helps you any, my mom was a single mom of 4, we all saw from an early age that she wasn't too busy for us, just busy taking care of us
