I don't wear hats, but if I did wear one, I would tip it to the single mommies and other mommies who have no daily support and help at home. Being a mom is a lot of work, especially when you have babies and toddlers and they are sick or clingy all day. Getting up at night is exhausting, especially when you get up several times each night. Don't get me wrong--being a mom is wonderful, exciting, and full of joy. It's the best thing I've ever done and the most important role I've ever played. But it's not easy--and I have a husband who is involved with the kids when he is home.
So, to those of you who do it by yourself--whether you're truly raising your child(ren) alone, you're a military wife with a husband who is deployed, or the man in your life works extremely long hours--you have my admiration and respect. Your sacrifices are worth it!
And to all the other mommies: Your sacrifices are worth it too! I have to tell myself this from time to time, so I thought I'd tell you all too. :)
