I think perhaps playinga comparing game does no one any good.  We are all in different circumstances, we all have different struggles.  Supporting each other instead of saying "let them walk in MY shoes and see how they feel" would be more helpful to everyone I think. Ourselves included!    Those who feel your life is harder - maybe you need to live there's for a time as well.   

  

I sooooo hear you! I'm not going to criticize the other moms for venting, but I feel your pain! I'm a single mom myself. I have three little boys, ages 3-years-old, 2-years-old and 3-months old. My soon-to-be-ex-husband took off when I was about five months pregnant with the youngest. He rarely sees the kids and refuses to help out with them. I'm dealing with the kids, working 25-30 hours a week and taking 18 credit hours of classes (I'd already registered and paid for them before I found out that my ex would be paying minimal, if any, support and if I drop any I lose my grant). I have NO HELP either and it is the hardest thing I've ever done. Right now my screen looks blurry b/c I only go about 3 hours of sleep.

I have been a  single mom of 2 kids, I was also  married with 2 two kids and now a married mom with 4 kids.  Let me tell tell you, the most simple time in my life was being a single mom with 2 kids.  Even though I had no help with things and everything was up to me...I didn't have a husband to deal with either.  You know one more to clean up after, cook for, do their laundry and lest we forget at he end of a very busy tiring day explain why we want to just want to g to sleep instead of being that sex kitten they once had.  LOL 

  

So ladies I think it is no matter which side of the fence you are on, it has it good points and bad points.  Unless you are one of the lucky people married that man who feels it is his duty to help his wife, and those are few and far between.  We all work hard simply because our name is "MOM" and we should all respect one another for that.
