All too often a lot of single moms feel that they have to be "super mom" and not expect or ask for any help. If you are among the super moms, you run a great risk of parenting burn out. We are all human and we all fall short of "doing it all" at some point. Hey, its tough enough raising kids as a 2-parent family. That goes double for single parents, especially single moms raising 2 or more children.
So, it is OK to ask for help or support when youre trying to raise 2 or more kids? Its not only OK, it is suggested. Remember as a single mom, you have to work hard to bring home the bacon without depending on any child support, whether you are receiving it or not. You never know when that money will run out.
You also have to raise your kids to be compassionate and responsible adults. Thats not an easy task in todays world. For single moms it is quite the challenge. You are responsible for your childs schooling, the clothes they wear, the food they eat, and also the air they breathe. Lets face it, anyway you look at it, thats a tall order for any single mom raising 2 or more kids.
For the moms out there that dont think they are "super mom" and are not reluctant at seeking advice, there are a lot of practical things you can do for support in general, financially or otherwise.
