To all the mothers who leave the toxic relationship, I commend you. You are teaching your children what it means to stand up for yourself and for them. This is a hidden gem that the children will grow up understanding and appreciating your sacrifice. I realized this with my own mother.
What sacrifice? These women don't deserve to be commended, they CHOSE to get pregnant by toxic men, and they themselves are just as bad, it's funny how the time to become "responsible", is after the fornication and hanky panky is over, women should think about this before they decide to open their legs, forcing a child to be born without two loving parents is ABUSE! Stop sympathising with single moms who make poor life choices and point the finger at the man!
@@thernfoster2387 are you that ignorant to understand many men especially narcissistic trap women and it can be years into the relationship. People change too, men can start having affairs, start drinking, spending all the family money! You need to really open you eyes to realizing majority of women to not settle with a man who is toxic.. they become toxic and think we are so dependent and won't leave. They take advantage of our grace but once we run out we build a plan a leave!!!
@@thernfoster2387 I was married to my husband for 9 years. Went through the Army with him, stayed at home and raised our children. Was pregnant with our 2nd child and I found out he cheated on my 8 months pregnant with co workers. The woman's husband reached out to me and told me. He was a great man in the beginning but years later I dealt with his porn addiction, drinking increased ect and this was the last straw. I decided to leave and so please don't have this judgement that all single moms became single moms because they are having one night stands or what ever....
"Our grace", LOL! I love how you automatically paint the men as the villains and women as helpless victims, women like you are incapable of taking accountability, people don't have a master plan to suddenly change after years, that's absolute bull, these men were ALWAYS bad, and it's EXACTLY what attracts these women, who probably believe they can change him, same goes for you and your ex husband, I can almost guarantee he was an a-hole when you first met him, and all the actual good men, the nice guys, are the ones you friend zoned and rejected, I wonder how many jerks you'll run through before you turn to those nice guys to support you and your kids! My point still stands, the majority of single moms had kids WAY too soon, with unsuitable men, who they KNEW weren't quality men, so stop playing victim, and take responsibility!
@@thernfoster2387 okay I take responsibility for my ex husband's cheating, drinking and lack of focusing on our family. You want to assume I was this horrible woman to for your narrative because it's easier but I was an amazing wife to him. Put his needs first, supported him and loved him But I'll follow what you said and take the responsibility for his actions... just like how women have always done. They always get the blame for everything.
I'm pregnant and thinking of getting out of a relationship. I'm so afraid of being a single mom, but after seeing this, I am motivated. I can't continue to stay in this relationship anymore. Thank you.
@@risinginlove.7364 I have left the relationship, though I'm still having a tough time dealing with the breakup. I believe over time, I will get better.
I'll be a single mom in couple of months and im both excited to push forward as a healthy, strong single mom than a sad and depressed mom with a guy who isnt good for me. Wish me luck guys! :)
It's so sad how we don't realize when someone is no good for us until we end up in situations like this. But instead of beating ourselves up, we have to push forward.
So many men put single moms down like we choose it. Sometimes it’s not our choice! I left a very abusive relationship and raising my son on my own. Ladies don’t let the negative comments get to you . You are worthy ! ❤️
“You chose the abusive man” I did, in fact, not know he would be abusive when I chose him. The first few months are always amazing. They don’t show signs of abuse right off the bat. Causing you to put on rose colored glasses and not listening to the red flags. He was kind and caring. Until I got pregnant. He became abusive, claiming I pushed him to that point. We had a conversation about “love is a choice, despite their flaws” I CLUNG onto that. I decided he would be my forever. He said I was the one for him, until later he told me how annoying I am and that some of my quirks he wouldn’t want to live with.
I’m not a single mom! But I’ve been here from before 10K and I remember you had that “I’m a little scared” look in your eyes when you quit your job and said “YT is my job now” ... and look at you! You 100% did it and it only gets better from here! I love seeing you so confident and happy!!! Xoxo
Awesome! I've been a single mum for 15 years (since his birth). I managed to buy land and build myself a house on a very small income and have qualified in several different areas since he was born. I've never felt like I was disadvantaged UNTIL last week when I went to the bank to apply to re-mortgage and I was knocked back. I am not going to let that stop me though, I am going to push through this financial block and might start a RUclips channel about it!
Please do because I need some advice and not the typical jargon either. I have a job as an administrative assistant, need to work on my credit, know phone numbers as googling seems to be a plathora of fake links or links that throw you all over the place. What to do when there's so many that are residing where you live, no matter the city, that it seems as though everyone has their applications closed?
I am not even a few minutes into this video ANDDDDD.. it passes the vibe check . I hear myself saying these things sometimes . You’re so right . None of us are special . If others can do it , so can we. I cry everyday and it’s not even for him anymore . It’s not even for the love our relationship has had . It’s because I feel like I’m trapped and I don’t know how to get out . Definitely a new subscriber .
This video immediately stopped my tear flow. I don’t know if or what condition I’ll be in tomorrow but as of today this really encouraged me. Thank you!💞
I needed this today! Thank you! Im a single mom of 3 and boy is it exhausting, scary, and stressful at times. I think we all get stuck in a bad head space about our situations from time to time and this really helped to push me out of that. I love watching you and Sydney together. I dont really have any friends that can relate to my situation so its nice to have you to watch. Thank you for always being real!
I love this video so much. My son came out of a toxic and abusive relationship. If I wouldn’t have been in that relationship I wouldn’t have him and he is my biggest blessing. I truly believe he saved my life. I lost my job because I couldn’t work late nights and now I have been baking for others and I love it so much. It helps my anxiety instead of inducing anxiety like doing hair did for me. Love your videos and I’m thankful for you! Fingers crossed my divorce will be finalized Tuesday!
I was in an abusive relationship and my daughter has also kept me going and motivated. I'm in a better place now but things were real hard there for awhile. God is good 😍
@@laurens4547 God is so good! I thought I was going to have to die in that relationship because that is what he told me. Now that I am away I feel so free. I’m so thankful that you were able to get out of your relationship! ❤️
Single motherhood can be tough but attitude is definitely everything! My son is my biggest blessing and I am wanting to work from home full time just to care for my son. I have a super small channel but I definitely loved hearing your motivational advice because I am hoping one day I can do something I love while also being able to take care of my child!!
I've been watching your channel since your "how I knew I was pregnant video". I wasn't very good about leaving comments back then but try to now as I know how important it is. But you have just come SUCH a long way and it's truly amazing to see how far you have come on your channel as well just in your life. You are amazing and Syndey is so so lucky to have you as a mom. I wish you nothing but all the happiness you deserve ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm 39 weeks pregnant with a toddler, in a wobbly relationship, and although I would prefer to be able to make this relationship work out, this video made me feel alot more secure and made me believe in myself that I could make it work if it came to a divorce. I feel like a single mom most days already anyway 😮💨
I definitely put those limiting beliefs on myself, in doing that I was ignoring my power and resilience. It was hard muting out the negative self talk, I'm finally in a place where I can catch myself thinking all these negative thoughts about myself, and stop and introduce compassion and gratitude. Thankful that my son is healthy, happy, and we have food and shelter. It took a lot of time and patience, trusting the process.
I’ve just come out of that negative toxic situation.. I know that what is to come will be much much better. Currently stuck in a tiny apartment with my 3 month old, just separated from his dad it was a long time coming and I am very happy to be free of that situation. It’s onwards and upwards for me and my son
I feel as though I’m in the same situation but still with him. What kind of things happened? I feel as though it may be in my head so Im asking. If you don’t want to share I understand. I feel like I’m in toxic/ narcissistic abuse situation.
Hi Elizabeth , my name is Lauren and I'm a single parent to my 5yo daughter. Being a single mom can be hard but also very rewarding. If you need a daily dose of encouragement please visit my Instagram @singlemommalove. I do a morning reel every Mon-Fri morning. It's gonna be OK and you're not alone in this 😍
I’ve been using you as inspiration for the past few weeks. I get up before my baby’s and shower and moisturize. By the time I get my coffee they are awake and I drink my coffee while they eat. It has helped my mood so much ❤️❤️❤️
Phenomenal. Video. I am not a single mom but I have a 1 and 2 year old with pretty much no family support. My husband works a lot and I felt super solo and alone during quarantine especially. Even when it wasn’t quarantine I was doing most myself throughout the day. I have the utmost respect for all moms out there. You are all superheroes. But the moms who are kicking ass day in and day out solo- you guys have the biggest capes of all. You are in such an inspirational headspace and one that I hope to get to. I feel so lonely and isolated so often because we don’t have parents or siblings or cousins or anyone who we can call to help. But you’re right. It’s all mindset. Keep up the beyond incredible work. Your strength and your drive is beyond anything you could give your daughter. What a lucky little girl.
Thank you! My ex used to get annoyed with me having a coffee and watching shows before I turned on MOM MODE so I started feeling bad for having that time to myself... but Im learning to like it again
I loved your take on traveling with your kids. After seeing your video, I decided that my son and I would go on a vacation together. We had the best time EVER!!!!!!! I encourage every single mom to take vacations with her kiddos. Now I am planning for next year an international trip. Thanks for the encouragement!!!!!
I am 4 months pregnant with my second and becoming a single mom again. With my first I was so lost and now with this baby you gave me the push I needed. I applied to college and I am now ready to give myself and my kids the life they really deserve.
Wow, you're so strong and brave Melissa, not only did you have a child with an unsuitable man ONCE, but now you have a second child that gets to grow up without a father! I'm amazed at your brilliant life choices so far! Maybe you need to have a third child with another criminal/ abuser to get the FINAL push you need to become a healthy and brave single mom! You are such a role model! Keep spreading your legs for bad men, and ignoring all the good men, until you're 35 and need their support to pay for your 5 kids from 5 men!
@@thernfoster2387that's sad that u have to hate on someone who is actually trying to better their life and u don't know what happened for her to be single. U are acting very closed minded and hateful. I hope ur life gets easier so u don't feel the need to hate on.others to make urself feel better
I have been for the last 3 years after 9 years of marriage to a narcissist. Awful divorce journey , mental illness, and now as a revenge trashing and he abandoned the 3 kids financially. After all the negativity above , I have hope and keep trying . We can be happy and successful. 🙏🏻
I am a single stay at home mom. It's tough at times...but I found a lot of things became easier for me when I quit judging myself and my situation so much.💖 I also had to learn a huge lesson of not caring about what others think, especially those who had never been in my shoes!!
I took my 12 year old son to the beach! We had so much fun, riding bikes, room service, boogie boarding, and deep sea fishing! I highly recommend any Mom out there to give it a try!!!!
You have a new subscriber! This was the first "single mom" video I watched and it was definitely what I needed to hear. Thank you for snapping us new single mamas into shape. Wishing you nothing but happiness and wealth
Girl!!!!! You are speaking my language on all levels! Yes this is all so true in order to be the best Mom we have to take care of ourselves first. We deserve self love!
Honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched, such a beautiful soul.. instantly made me feel so positive about life, literally made me have a better outlook on life rather than a depressing one. ❤️
@@clarkandmama4894 YES!!! I get really tired taking care of my 18 month old that I can't imagine having a boyfriend/husband to help take care of too lol
I’ve been watching you since I was pregnant (2016) and I am so proud of how far you have come. I see myself in you as a single mom, coming from an extremely toxic, abusive relationship and you have given me so much strength and hope that everything happens for a reason. We as single moms are “special” in that we preserve and we find a way to make things happen. When you use being a single mom as your inspiration for strength, that’s a powerful force. But, using it as an excuse (using anything as an excuse) will never get you anywhere. I’m just so happy for your happiness and truly have been routing for you and Sidney. The sky is the limit. And when you reach the sky, aim for the moon. And when you reach the moon, aim even higher. 💕💕💕
I sit here at 18 years old, 7 months pregnant, cautiously talking to my baby's father. And after watching this, I'm realizing that I'm only keeping him in the loop out of fear of being by myself with my baby. I am truly scared of not being able to give my daughter and myself what we both need and deserve. I want to have my life together for her. But watching this and listening to how you handle being a single mom is giving me motivation. I have so many goals i want to reach before she is even born, and even more by the time she turns 1 year old. Thank you, i needed the uncensored explanation 💗
I’m trying to stop saying “I’m a single mom” excuse. It does put limitations on everything but also other people say those limitations as well. So it’s harder
I was impregnated against my wishes. He was an emotional abusive narcissist who tried to trap me in a relationship I was ready to get out of. I never felt the whole "special syndrome." In the sense that know I can do all I need to do for my baby, but i do feel outcasted from the majority of moms who do have that support from the father, physically, emotionally and financially. So sue me but i do wish i had more mothers around me that i can relate too. I'm 34 weeks pregnant. Wish me luck and i wish all of you single mothers luck as well.
I love this video. I’m not single, I’m happily married going on 5 years but most of these things still apply to me! I have two little girls and needed this refresher! 💕💕💕
i'm a teenager and pregnant, he makes me feel he regrets loving me and told me talking to me drains him. i dont want my kid to have a weak mom for not walking away in a relationship like this, thank u for this :)
I love this! I’m pregnant and it looks like I’m about to go through an divorce. I’m almost not allowing myself to be sad because that relationship wasn’t the best. But now I’m in over drive . I signed up for college, moved back in with my dad and looking for a job. I want to be a good mom even if I have to do it alone.
The relationship wasn't the best, yet you STILL slept with him and let yourself become pregnant with an "unsuitable" man? Wow, congratulations, you're so strong and brave, thanks to your quality life choices, your child gets to grow up WITHOUT a dad, amazing stuff! You're an inspirational role model to us all! I wonder what your excuse will be when child number two comes along, you'll probably pick another a-hole to sleep with, then got shocked when he leaves, look in your friend zone, those nice men make proper fathers, but ofc you don't like nice guys, they're boring, weak, and women like drama right?
@@stacyagonzalez6654 Your response is purely emotional, you haven't disproven what I've stated, nor have you made any factual points, children growing up without a father because of irresponsible parents, (mothers included), is ABUSE! So WTF is wrong with YOU!?
@@thernfoster2387 you are your own problem. You are not free of judgement. You don't even know that person. You're literally just trying to be cruel to single mothers. it's weird.
@@soulcalibrator67 Of course I'm being cruel to single mothers, because they are cruel to their own children, except I'm NOT TRYING, I'm DOING! Never once did I mention myself being free of judgement did I? The majority of single moms make bad choices, by choosing bad men to have unprotected relations with, without thinking about the consequences of their actions when they end up pregnant, expecting a bad boy to commit, then they get praise and sympathy from people around them, which reinforces their bad behaviour, I've even seen 16 year old single moms receiving praise, it's absolutely disgustingly diabolical, 99% of single moms KNEW the guy they were with was a bad boy, it's EXACTLY what got them hot for him in the first place, and it's funny how the ONLY time these type of women decide to show some responsibility is AFTER the hanky panky, when they've already gotten themselves knocked up in a bad situation, I don't have to know these individuals to recognise what they're doing is harmful to their kids!
This video is everything!!! My husband works mostly 16hr days, I’m on my own with my 1 & 3yr old and I’m constantly doing everything alone. When I accomplish something I just keep realizing how much more I can handle and do on my own without waiting for him or relying on him. Thank you so much for opening my eyes even wider!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@mr.hustleakamike2734 balance, we just want balance. Time with family is far more valuable than any amount of money to be made. Living modestly and having family time is truly living RICH. That’s a high value man.
@@DanielleSerrano lol 😂 just I believe ur a old ball out in this situation. Have u met the rest of the women out here high value man this that he must make this much much . 😂lol
Thank you for your inspiring words. I am a single mom to my 2 year old son and pregnant with my second. And I am terrified to be honest. But I'm finally in a place where I want to experience the single life and be happy on my own with just me and my kids. You show that it is all possible to achieve as a single mom and you given me the push I needed to go for it.
I stayed through 4 pregnancies and by the 4th my abuser was so enabled that I had to keep my mom with me in the delivery room to curb his abuse. If you are in a bad situation, you will be so glad and much better off alone, even if expecting. Good luck!
I can’t wait to share your videos to my best girlfriend Bianca who also a single mom successfully escaped from 10 years domestic violence and took her daughter to restart a new life🎉Your videos really inspiring and energetic ❤Hope we can inspire more women together
We definitely need more single mom videos. At times it gets really lonely and it’s exhausting. I’m also a single mom but of 3 boys. I wish you a lot of success!
@@damienhartley1163 yes, there are plenty, but there are also many women without children because they either don’t want children or are afraid they will have to raise a kid alone.
Omg! Thank you for this video!!! I recently became a single mom and i been trying to stay positive. My baby is 4 months old and i am so tier, depressed, overwhelm and looking for ways to increase income from different sources but also be with my baby and not miss this time with him. I needed this. 🙏🏼♥️
Ugh you helped me so much today. I feel I'm getting to that point of just soaking my kids up and not searching for a partner, also what you said about praying daily. I feel God will bring me to what I'm supposed to have in my life if I stay out of the negativity and focus on me and my kids !
You're such a good person and I do get sad that I don't have anyone or family. Or even friends but you keep me going. Love your videos! Thank you for them. I'm 27 and feel like I'm old and no guy would want me and the twins but I gotta remember I'm not that old and to love me and my kids. I've stopped searching for love though too. I want to love on myself fully. Thank you again. You give me hope inspiration.
I feel your pain I have twins also single mom no family but we got this someway somehow we will make it your not alone you have a virtual friend here ✋💗
You are such a wonderful person and a mommy ! You are such an inspiration ! I truly admire you and all that you are constantly trying to be the best mommy for Sydney. You have set your mind on your goal and stick to it and accomplish it. I know a lot of good will come your way. I would love for you to meet a wonderful man that has the same goals in life like you. Someone that you can build a wonderful life for you and Sydney and even grow your family. No one deserves it more than you. Keep up the good work ! By the way, Sydney is the cutest ! Love her appetite !
Thank you for your video. Single mom of 3 kids one with special needs I felt I had to stay in the relationship for my kids comfort financially but who says I can do it myself ?thank you for waking me up saying I'm not special I really needed to hear that .
Hi Norma , how are you ? Keen to hear where you are on your journey ? I also have 3 kids under 9years old and my youngest has special needs aswell. I hope you are doing well.
I’m soo happy I found your channel. I’m a single mum and raising my now 3 year old daughter since she was 5 weeks old. Sometimes you feel soo alone when no one gets what your going through. Some things I do disagree though something as simple as the gym if you are working full time and a single mum in Melbourne Australia anyway the gyms only offer childcare during the week, I just can’t go. Soo we do have some things that we can’t do compared to those with husbands. I obviously work out at home but things such as buying a home which I’m doing now are still harder and a longer process than someone married. It’s just how it is unfortunately, I still look at it as a positive that I can buy a home on my own it’s just harder that’s all
I am a single mom as well and was in a toxic relationship, I relate so much to your story 😩😭You have no idea how much I needed to hear this Thank you so much 🙏🏽
I’m a stay at home mom. I feel like a single mom 80% of the time. My husband is always working and it seems he rather be there than deal with the kids screaming. I have gotten to the point where I get nervous to go out by myself with the kids but that first tip hit me. Even tho I’m married I’m taking this advice. I fight with depression and anxiety. I’m not special, yes I’m by myself most times but I can do things by myself with my kids, for my kids. I have to stop waiting for people mainly the husband) to be free to go out with the kids. I have to stop waiting for family or friends members to be able to “live life” with my kids. I want to making memories.
This is everything I needed right now.. been looking for motivation and inspiration to get through this, my son is 6 months and his dad has left- no clue how much he’ll be around but the past week has just been me trying to figure everything out. Thank you so much ❤
I just gotta say I love your videos. I'm a recent single mom and I've been wanting to start doing similar videos to your content and that's how I found you. Your videos have been a big help and I respect your perspective on single mom life.
First time I’m about to be a mom to my child so excited but scared Cus l never thought I would be a single parent especially this is my first pregnancy 💔life has many ways of you teaching you things will work out for you in the future all l care about now is myself and my baby💕
I’ve been divorced 3 1/2 years now and with two beautiful girls. I’ve definitely come A LONG way, but I purposely searched for this type of video to continue to push forward. I definitely can relate to this! THANK YOU FOR ALL THIS RICH INFORMATION AND MOTIVATION! Definitely subscribed!
I got up before my son today at your suggestion, sitting here peacefully drinking my coffee, watching the Today show and thought of you probably also watching right now. ☺️ Cheers to a good day! ☕️
I loveeeeeeeee this video. I watch it over and over. Thank you so much for being honest and being real. I’m so proud of you and we’re you are. Thank you for sharing with us
Wow this was a video I didn't know I needed to watch. It is so inspiring! I love that you're embracing the single mama life. I really feel that children need to be around motivated, independent, and confident women to teach them and show them anything is possible.
You are such a beautiful soul and an inspiration. I am now in my 50s, but I became a single mom in my late 30s as the result of a divorce and getting out of a toxic marriage. I have been happily remarried but still appreciated your heartfelt advice. I love following you and Sydney on your journey. God bless you both!
I’m not a single parent but I absolutely love how positive you are and your vibe just radiates! 💞 I totally relate tho in the stop limiting yourself I’m a stay at home mom and my husband is in the military so it was easy for me to always say I can’t do that I have no help, I have no family, I’m always alone with my kids ... but I’m so happy I’m over that mentality 😊
Not a single mom at the moment. We're both trying really hard to make things work for our kids, but it's not looking good. Thanks you so much for opening up about everything. I would love to learn more about your budgeting and revenue streams.
Thank you for this video. You are inspiring. I've been out of my toxic relationship for a lil over a year and I'm a single mom of 3 w/no support. I've found it hard to adjust to the single mom life. This last relationship affected me mentally, emotionally, & physically. I've just started to be able to sleep at night, before I had insomnia. I'm beginning to feel like my old self. I'm thankful that I work in education because it allows me to be hone when the kids are out of school. However, with the price of everything going up, I find that I need to do something else. So, I'm working towards being a virtual assistant & bookkeeper. I think this will be good for me and I would be able to work from home & cut costs. I am focused on my kids now. They will be grown before I know it and I want to enjoy them before they grow up & have their own lives. Thank you again for this video. It was the motivation I needed.
Thank you for this video! I appreciate the honesty. Im so scared I will fail my child. I just found out yesterday Im pregnant and decided im having my baby. I plan to tell the dad and even if we dont make it as a couple I will raise this baby by myself. I thank God im not young but im still on my own. This helped me realize I can do anything. I plan to work and go back to school online for extra money. Idk how the whole child care is gonna work but ill figure it out. Idk how im going to date as a single mom but just bc I have a child doesnt mean im going to stop looking for love. Itll be me, my baby, and my puppy 🐶❤️ #Ijustaskgodhelpthruitall.
Unfortunately, I miscarried a week after I found out I was pregnant. This has been rough seeing single moms and babies all over RUclips. Its been extremely painful my coworker is pregnant and thriving. I feel like God has giving up on me.
Im a Mommy of 6-and totally agree w/you...Just sitting in living room watching Tv in peace and quiet is enough for me-just to get some me time just for a couple of minutes daily-lol....I care for 6 kiddo's by myself daily-and love every bit of it..This is what I say-"SAME ROUTINE AND STRUCTURE" is key to be successful for day to day w/ thee amount of kiddo's I have....I actually do my daily duties daily while everything else that comes with it....I just put aside some me time just 1 month ago in a whole 18 years-lol...But my me time is just going to wash my face and brush my teeth by myself-lol...Taking a shower in bathroom just by myself-is perfect for me...But sometimes it doesnt work out that way...Just subscribed 2 ur chnnl-Take care...
OMG this video speaks to me. Been single since I was4 months pregnant. Baby turns 1 this month. I’m finding my way. It’s slow but I have already changed so much. I went from having no direction to learning two new crafts and getting ready to launch my own website any Etsy shop. I have to make this succeed so I can take care of my daughter and I. I don’t want to be in a relationship right now. My parents keep trying to encourage me too; but I’m not ready yet. I’m so much happier now than I was with my ex. And I’m more tired than I’ve ever been in my life.
Love love LOVE this!!!! I’m a first time mom during this pandemic my child is 9 months old and it is super hard to get a trust worthy sitter just to go grocery shopping or to appointments but I’m making it work and staying positive I’m definitely going to try these tips thank you for speaking on the single mom subject. it’s nice to hear other moms routines or just any tips on how to make life easier
I am getting separated from my partner, and we have a toddler too. Thank you for this video. I never thought that we would end up this way… but I will be fine. God is my rock.
Another great video! ❤️ I’m not a single mom but still really enjoyed it! Love your positivity ❤️ I’d love to see a video on how you provide financially for your family!
not a single mom but I do a lot of stuff only me and Daughter 'cuz hubby can't take off from work most of time. Vaccation, going anywhere not a problem. I love it. So proud of you how you explained everything and helped anyone that needs to hear this. Single Moms Rock.
I found out my friend is pregnant and is going to be a single mom today sees been In a toxic relationship and he told her to get an abortion but she decided to keep her child, so in a couple months me her and my family are going to Rais this baby together and support her in any way❤️
How is it going? 🥺 I’m going through that right now but debating on keeping the baby and being a single mama or listen to the dad who straight up said get a abortion because he won’t be there..
@@requelcurtis3830 do what you think is best for you. I’m struggling with those feelings as well. However we have two previous kids. This would be his third. We separated last week. I know an abortion would be the best bet for me. But I’m scared, my family and friends are very supportive so I might keep the baby idk. If you need to talk I’m here 🥺
@@vanessamerie710 ¹ Have you considered the mental repercussions of an abortion???? It's not easy on the body and mentally it can duck you up long term. Abortion advocates don't discuss this. Have your child, you won't regret it. It won't be easy but life itself isn't easy
@@candyluna2929 the mental repercussions of abortion are short term compared to having to support a child for 18 (more realistically 21-25) years. Therapy can help with the " mental repercussions" of abortion, it cant put food on the table or a roof over your head. If you cant raise a baby on the finances you have, get an abortion.
Thank you so much i love you! I really needed this.. i searched for some advice for single moms as i want to get a job and work for a better life for my child.. thank you this was inspiring ❤
First rule of being a single mum.....make sure you are the best of yourself. Being gorgeous also helps! Have some fun. Date lots and realise what a normal relationship should look like. Don’t settle for second best. Don’t be lured by money. Get yourself in tip top condition and look hot!
I think it is a very motivational video. I am about to get divorced and become a single mum and watching this has made me feel more positive about it. Thanks so much
It's interesting that you brought up not giving ourselves the excuse of feeling special for being a single mom. For me it was the opposite. I used it as fuel to push me to succeed because I felt at a disadvantage and felt I needed to work twice as hard, which in reality we do because we're now assuming our partner's responsibility. However, I am aware many have that victim mentality and use it as an excuse for their lack of effort or progress. Also, thank you for serving as inspiration! May you continue to be blessed on your journey. 💖
To all the mothers who leave the toxic relationship, I commend you. You are teaching your children what it means to stand up for yourself and for them. This is a hidden gem that the children will grow up understanding and appreciating your sacrifice.
I realized this with my own mother.
What sacrifice? These women don't deserve to be commended, they CHOSE to get pregnant by toxic men, and they themselves are just as bad, it's funny how the time to become "responsible", is after the fornication and hanky panky is over, women should think about this before they decide to open their legs, forcing a child to be born without two loving parents is ABUSE! Stop sympathising with single moms who make poor life choices and point the finger at the man!
@@thernfoster2387 are you that ignorant to understand many men especially narcissistic trap women and it can be years into the relationship. People change too, men can start having affairs, start drinking, spending all the family money! You need to really open you eyes to realizing majority of women to not settle with a man who is toxic.. they become toxic and think we are so dependent and won't leave. They take advantage of our grace but once we run out we build a plan a leave!!!
@@thernfoster2387 I was married to my husband for 9 years. Went through the Army with him, stayed at home and raised our children. Was pregnant with our 2nd child and I found out he cheated on my 8 months pregnant with co workers. The woman's husband reached out to me and told me. He was a great man in the beginning but years later I dealt with his porn addiction, drinking increased ect and this was the last straw. I decided to leave and so please don't have this judgement that all single moms became single moms because they are having one night stands or what ever....
"Our grace", LOL! I love how you automatically paint the men as the villains and women as helpless victims, women like you are incapable of taking accountability, people don't have a master plan to suddenly change after years, that's absolute bull, these men were ALWAYS bad, and it's EXACTLY what attracts these women, who probably believe they can change him, same goes for you and your ex husband, I can almost guarantee he was an a-hole when you first met him, and all the actual good men, the nice guys, are the ones you friend zoned and rejected, I wonder how many jerks you'll run through before you turn to those nice guys to support you and your kids! My point still stands, the majority of single moms had kids WAY too soon, with unsuitable men, who they KNEW weren't quality men, so stop playing victim, and take responsibility!
@@thernfoster2387 okay I take responsibility for my ex husband's cheating, drinking and lack of focusing on our family.
You want to assume I was this horrible woman to for your narrative because it's easier but I was an amazing wife to him. Put his needs first, supported him and loved him
But I'll follow what you said and take the responsibility for his actions... just like how women have always done.
They always get the blame for everything.
He just told me he is leaving tonight. So instead of crying, I decided to empower myself for my baby. This video really helped 💛

Wow ur such a strong person!
I'm pregnant and thinking of getting out of a relationship. I'm so afraid of being a single mom, but after seeing this, I am motivated. I can't continue to stay in this relationship anymore. Thank you.
I hope you're doing better and that you're out of that situation! Don't wait, it won't get any better. Sending you strength xo

How are you doing now ??
@@risinginlove.7364 I have left the relationship, though I'm still having a tough time dealing with the breakup. I believe over time, I will get better.
I'll be a single mom in couple of months and im both excited to push forward as a healthy, strong single mom than a sad and depressed mom with a guy who isnt good for me. Wish me luck guys! :)
Why i find here love...i m 30 seeking good person for whole life .
how are you doing?☺️
It's so sad how we don't realize when someone is no good for us until we end up in situations like this. But instead of beating ourselves up, we have to push forward.
If not happy why gettin prgnent wth his child
@@Oddly_Fascinting Do you know how babies are made? It takes a man TOO why can’t you “men” get that!? Did you take sex education?
So many men put single moms down like we choose it. Sometimes it’s not our choice! I left a very abusive relationship and raising my son on my own. Ladies don’t let the negative comments get to you . You are worthy ! ❤️
Preach! The haters are definitely closed minded
This is exactly what happened to me
Because women are weak compared to men
🤣
“You chose the abusive man”
I did, in fact, not know he would be abusive when I chose him.
The first few months are always amazing. They don’t show signs of abuse right off the bat. Causing you to put on rose colored glasses and not listening to the red flags.
He was kind and caring. Until I got pregnant. He became abusive, claiming I pushed him to that point.
We had a conversation about “love is a choice, despite their flaws” I CLUNG onto that. I decided he would be my forever. He said I was the one for him, until later he told me how annoying I am and that some of my quirks he wouldn’t want to live with.
I’m not a single mom! But I’ve been here from before 10K and I remember you had that “I’m a little scared” look in your eyes when you quit your job and said “YT is my job now” ... and look at you! You 100% did it and it only gets better from here!
I love seeing you so confident and happy!!! Xoxo
Hello, season Greetings from from prince Andrew Edward, hope you are doing great ?
Awesome! I've been a single mum for 15 years (since his birth). I managed to buy land and build myself a house on a very small income and have qualified in several different areas since he was born. I've never felt like I was disadvantaged UNTIL last week when I went to the bank to apply to re-mortgage and I was knocked back. I am not going to let that stop me though, I am going to push through this financial block and might start a RUclips channel about it!
YOU’VE GOT THIS!!!! Seriously! I believe that 100% with hard work & motivation, it will happen for you 🙏💪
Brave and Stunning
A RUclips channel? And how’s that going for you?
Please do because I need some advice and not the typical jargon either. I have a job as an administrative assistant, need to work on my credit, know phone numbers as googling seems to be a plathora of fake links or links that throw you all over the place. What to do when there's so many that are residing where you live, no matter the city, that it seems as though everyone has their applications closed?
I am not even a few minutes into this video ANDDDDD.. it passes the vibe check . I hear myself saying these things sometimes . You’re so right . None of us are special . If others can do it , so can we. I cry everyday and it’s not even for him anymore . It’s not even for the love our relationship has had . It’s because I feel like I’m trapped and I don’t know how to get out . Definitely a new subscriber .
This video immediately stopped my tear flow. I don’t know if or what condition I’ll be in tomorrow but as of today this really encouraged me. Thank you!💞
Sameee
❤️ yep
I needed this today! Thank you! Im a single mom of 3 and boy is it exhausting, scary, and stressful at times. I think we all get stuck in a bad head space about our situations from time to time and this really helped to push me out of that. I love watching you and Sydney together. I dont really have any friends that can relate to my situation so its nice to have you to watch. Thank you for always being real!
Hello, season Greetings from from prince Andrew Edward, hope you are doing great ?
Hello Jen
I will be a single mom of 3 in about 2 weeks. Very stressed out.
I love this video so much. My son came out of a toxic and abusive relationship. If I wouldn’t have been in that relationship I wouldn’t have him and he is my biggest blessing. I truly believe he saved my life. I lost my job because I couldn’t work late nights and now I have been baking for others and I love it so much. It helps my anxiety instead of inducing anxiety like doing hair did for me. Love your videos and I’m thankful for you! Fingers crossed my divorce will be finalized Tuesday!
Awwww you’re so right! That little babe is such a blessing! Sending prayers & good vibes your way mama 💪🙏❤️
You go girl! Good luck mama!
Clark and Mama thank you so much 💕💕💕🥺
I was in an abusive relationship and my daughter has also kept me going and motivated. I'm in a better place now but things were real hard there for awhile. God is good 😍
@@laurens4547 God is so good! I thought I was going to have to die in that relationship because that is what he told me. Now that I am away I feel so free. I’m so thankful that you were able to get out of your relationship! ❤️
Single motherhood can be tough but attitude is definitely everything! My son is my biggest blessing and I am wanting to work from home full time just to care for my son. I have a super small channel but I definitely loved hearing your motivational advice because I am hoping one day I can do something I love while also being able to take care of my child!!
Hello can we be friends.
I've been watching your channel since your "how I knew I was pregnant video". I wasn't very good about leaving comments back then but try to now as I know how important it is. But you have just come SUCH a long way and it's truly amazing to see how far you have come on your channel as well just in your life. You are amazing and Syndey is so so lucky to have you as a mom. I wish you nothing but all the happiness you deserve ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm 39 weeks pregnant with a toddler, in a wobbly relationship, and although I would prefer to be able to make this relationship work out, this video made me feel alot more secure and made me believe in myself that I could make it work if it came to a divorce. I feel like a single mom most days already anyway 😮💨
I definitely put those limiting beliefs on myself, in doing that I was ignoring my power and resilience. It was hard muting out the negative self talk, I'm finally in a place where I can catch myself thinking all these negative thoughts about myself, and stop and introduce compassion and gratitude. Thankful that my son is healthy, happy, and we have food and shelter. It took a lot of time and patience, trusting the process.
I’ve just come out of that negative toxic situation.. I know that what is to come will be much much better. Currently stuck in a tiny apartment with my 3 month old, just separated from his dad it was a long time coming and I am very happy to be free of that situation. It’s onwards and upwards for me and my son
I feel as though I’m in the same situation but still with him. What kind of things happened? I feel as though it may be in my head so Im asking. If you don’t want to share I understand. I feel like I’m in toxic/ narcissistic abuse situation.
I recently became a single mom, your videos inspire me! Thank you 😊
You’ve got this girl!! 💪💗💗💗💗
Hi Elizabeth , my name is Lauren and I'm a single parent to my 5yo daughter. Being a single mom can be hard but also very rewarding.

I’ve been using you as inspiration for the past few weeks. I get up before my baby’s and shower and moisturize. By the time I get my coffee they are awake and I drink my coffee while they eat. It has helped my mood so much ❤️❤️❤️
Hello, season Greetings from from prince Andrew Edward, hope you are doing great ?
Phenomenal. Video.
I am not a single mom but I have a 1 and 2 year old with pretty much no family support. My husband works a lot and I felt super solo and alone during quarantine especially. Even when it wasn’t quarantine I was doing most myself throughout the day. I have the utmost respect for all moms out there. You are all superheroes. But the moms who are kicking ass day in and day out solo- you guys have the biggest capes of all. You are in such an inspirational headspace and one that I hope to get to. I feel so lonely and isolated so often because we don’t have parents or siblings or cousins or anyone who we can call to help. But you’re right. It’s all mindset.
Keep up the beyond incredible work. Your strength and your drive is beyond anything you could give your daughter. What a lucky little girl.
I applaud you for taking the time to speak to single parent issues. Wishing you all the best.
Thank you! My ex used to get annoyed with me having a coffee and watching shows before I turned on MOM MODE so I started feeling bad for having that time to myself... but Im learning to like it again
Omg same!!!!
Same
Omg same here.. Thank god it going to be end so soon. After that I'll have my own world.
I loved your take on traveling with your kids. After seeing your video, I decided that my son and I would go on a vacation together. We had the best time EVER!!!!!!! I encourage every single mom to take vacations with her kiddos. Now I am planning for next year an international trip. Thanks for the encouragement!!!!!
Oh my gosh I’m so proud of you!!! How amazing for the both of you!! ❤️💪👏👏👏
I am 4 months pregnant with my second and becoming a single mom again.
With my first I was so lost and now with this baby you gave me the push I needed. I applied to college and I am now ready to give myself and my kids the life they really deserve.
Wow, you're so strong and brave Melissa, not only did you have a child with an unsuitable man ONCE, but now you have a second child that gets to grow up without a father! I'm amazed at your brilliant life choices so far! Maybe you need to have a third child with another criminal/ abuser to get the FINAL push you need to become a healthy and brave single mom! You are such a role model! Keep spreading your legs for bad men, and ignoring all the good men, until you're 35 and need their support to pay for your 5 kids from 5 men!

No such thing as a a successful single mother. Thats like saying you can be a successful homeless bum.
@@ruthchill2058 what if the relationship was toxic? Or abusive? You don’t know their situation, stay out of it.

After all the negativity above , I have hope and keep trying . We can be happy and successful. 🙏🏻
@@ebenezeramare1 but what if she wasn’t? Maybe it had absolutely nothing to do with her. Stop projecting.
I am a single stay at home mom. It's tough at times...but I found a lot of things became easier for me when I quit judging myself and my situation so much.💖 I also had to learn a huge lesson of not caring about what others think, especially those who had never been in my shoes!!
I took my 12 year old son to the beach! We had so much fun, riding bikes, room service, boogie boarding, and deep sea fishing! I highly recommend any Mom out there to give it a try!!!!
Ok when is he going to have a dad though

Honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched, such a beautiful soul.. instantly made me feel so positive about life, literally made me have a better outlook on life rather than a depressing one. ❤️

Very bad happened
I am a single mom too and I absolutely love it. Attitude is everything. ♥️♥️

Hello, season Greetings from from prince Andrew Edward, hope you are doing great ?
Hey
Aww 😍
I think the video is so touching 🥺🙃
I’ve been watching you since I was pregnant (2016) and I am so proud of how far you have come. I see myself in you as a single mom, coming from an extremely toxic, abusive relationship and you have given me so much strength and hope that everything happens for a reason. We as single moms are “special” in that we preserve and we find a way to make things happen. When you use being a single mom as your inspiration for strength, that’s a powerful force. But, using it as an excuse (using anything as an excuse) will never get you anywhere. I’m just so happy for your happiness and truly have been routing for you and Sidney. The sky is the limit. And when you reach the sky, aim for the moon. And when you reach the moon, aim even higher. 💕💕💕
Hello, season Greetings from from prince Andrew Edward, hope you are doing great ?
I sit here at 18 years old, 7 months pregnant, cautiously talking to my baby's father. And after watching this, I'm realizing that I'm only keeping him in the loop out of fear of being by myself with my baby. I am truly scared of not being able to give my daughter and myself what we both need and deserve. I want to have my life together for her. But watching this and listening to how you handle being a single mom is giving me motivation. I have so many goals i want to reach before she is even born, and even more by the time she turns 1 year old. Thank you, i needed the uncensored explanation 💗
I’m trying to stop saying “I’m a single mom” excuse. It does put limitations on everything but also other people say those limitations as well. So it’s harder
Duh
Day 1 single mom (1/30/21) 💔 11 yrs relationship done and over with ,just like nothing...
Great video , I needed to hear
I was impregnated against my wishes. He was an emotional abusive narcissist who tried to trap me in a relationship I was ready to get out of. I never felt the whole "special syndrome." In the sense that know I can do all I need to do for my baby, but i do feel outcasted from the majority of moms who do have that support from the father, physically, emotionally and financially. So sue me but i do wish i had more mothers around me that i can relate too. I'm 34 weeks pregnant. Wish me luck and i wish all of you single mothers luck as well.
I love this video. I’m not single, I’m happily married going on 5 years but most of these things still apply to me! I have two little girls and needed this refresher! 💕💕💕
i'm a teenager and pregnant, he makes me feel he regrets loving me and told me talking to me drains him. i dont want my kid to have a weak mom for not walking away in a relationship like this, thank u for this :)
I love this! I’m pregnant and it looks like I’m about to go through an divorce. I’m almost not allowing myself to be sad because that relationship wasn’t the best. But now I’m in over drive . I signed up for college, moved back in with my dad and looking for a job. I want to be a good mom even if I have to do it alone.
The relationship wasn't the best, yet you STILL slept with him and let yourself become pregnant with an "unsuitable" man? Wow, congratulations, you're so strong and brave, thanks to your quality life choices, your child gets to grow up WITHOUT a dad, amazing stuff! You're an inspirational role model to us all! I wonder what your excuse will be when child number two comes along, you'll probably pick another a-hole to sleep with, then got shocked when he leaves, look in your friend zone, those nice men make proper fathers, but ofc you don't like nice guys, they're boring, weak, and women like drama right?
@@thernfoster2387 WTF is wrong with you? Are you reading what you're typing?
@@stacyagonzalez6654 Your response is purely emotional, you haven't disproven what I've stated, nor have you made any factual points, children growing up without a father because of irresponsible parents, (mothers included), is ABUSE! So WTF is wrong with YOU!?
@@thernfoster2387 you are your own problem. You are not free of judgement.

You're literally just trying to be cruel to single mothers. it's weird.
@@soulcalibrator67 Of course I'm being cruel to single mothers, because they are cruel to their own children, except I'm NOT TRYING, I'm DOING! Never once did I mention myself being free of judgement did I? The majority of single moms make bad choices, by choosing bad men to have unprotected relations with, without thinking about the consequences of their actions when they end up pregnant, expecting a bad boy to commit, then they get praise and sympathy from people around them, which reinforces their bad behaviour, I've even seen 16 year old single moms receiving praise, it's absolutely disgustingly diabolical, 99% of single moms KNEW the guy they were with was a bad boy, it's EXACTLY what got them hot for him in the first place, and it's funny how the ONLY time these type of women decide to show some responsibility is AFTER the hanky panky, when they've already gotten themselves knocked up in a bad situation, I don't have to know these individuals to recognise what they're doing is harmful to their kids!
This video is everything!!! My husband works mostly 16hr days, I’m on my own with my 1 & 3yr old and I’m constantly doing everything alone. When I accomplish something I just keep realizing how much more I can handle and do on my own without waiting for him or relying on him.

I’m soo happy I found your channel. I’m a single mum and raising my now 3 year old daughter since she was 5 weeks old. Sometimes you feel soo alone when no one gets what your going through. Some things I do disagree though something as simple as the gym if you are working full time and a single mum in Melbourne Australia anyway the gyms only offer childcare during the week, I just can’t go. Soo we do have some things that we can’t do compared to those with husbands. I obviously work out at home but things such as buying a home which I’m doing now are still harder and a longer process than someone married. It’s just how it is unfortunately, I still look at it as a positive that I can buy a home on my own it’s just harder that’s all

Hello, season Greetings from from prince Andrew Edward, hope you are doing great ?
I’m a stay at home mom. I feel like a single mom 80% of the time. My husband is always working and it seems he rather be there than deal with the kids screaming. I have gotten to the point where I get nervous to go out by myself with the kids but that first tip hit me. Even tho I’m married I’m taking this advice. I fight with depression and anxiety. I’m not special, yes I’m by myself most times but I can do things by myself with my kids, for my kids. I have to stop waiting for people mainly the husband) to be free to go out with the kids. I have to stop waiting for family or friends members to be able to “live life” with my kids. I want to making memories.
This is everything I needed right now.. been looking for motivation and inspiration to get through this, my son is 6 months and his dad has left- no clue how much he’ll be around but the past week has just been me trying to figure everything out. Thank you so much ❤

It’s nice to know we are not alone❤️ needed this badly
❤️ keep these types of videos coming!! I love your Channel SOOOO much!💖
I got up before my son today at your suggestion, sitting here peacefully drinking my coffee, watching the Today show and thought of you probably also watching right now. ☺️ Cheers to a good day! ☕️
Hello, season Greetings from from prince Andrew Edward, hope you are doing great ?
How are you doing ?
One day I hope to be like you! I don’t want to settle for less, specially for my son 💕
I loveeeeeeeee this video. I watch it over and over. Thank you so much for being honest and being real. I’m so proud of you and we’re you are. Thank you for sharing with us
Wow this was a video I didn't know I needed to watch. It is so inspiring! I love that you're embracing the single mama life. I really feel that children need to be around motivated, independent, and confident women to teach them and show them anything is possible.
Hello, season Greetings from from prince Andrew Edward, hope you are doing great ?
You are such an inspiration and a beautiful kind soul and a beautiful mumma, I have been watching you for years.
You are such a beautiful soul and an inspiration. I am now in my 50s, but I became a single mom in my late 30s as the result of a divorce and getting out of a toxic marriage. I have been happily remarried but still appreciated your heartfelt advice. I love following you and Sydney on your journey. God bless you both!
I love hearing success stories & how truly not alone we are in this journey ❤️🙌
Hello, season Greetings from from prince Andrew Edward, hope you are doing great ?
This video is just what I needed!
I would love any financial advice
I’m not a single parent but I absolutely love how positive you are and your vibe just radiates! 💞 I totally relate tho in the stop limiting yourself I’m a stay at home mom and my husband is in the military so it was easy for me to always say I can’t do that I have no help, I have no family, I’m always alone with my kids ... but I’m so happy I’m over that mentality 😊
Oh absolutely girl! Everyone deals with different circumstances in life & challenges! You’ve got this 💪💗
Not a single mom at the moment. We're both trying really hard to make things work for our kids, but it's not looking good. Thanks you so much for opening up about everything. I would love to learn more about your budgeting and revenue streams.
Single moms need to stick together ❤️
Thank you for this video. You are inspiring. I've been out of my toxic relationship for a lil over a year and I'm a single mom of 3 w/no support. I've found it hard to adjust to the single mom life. This last relationship affected me mentally, emotionally, & physically. I've just started to be able to sleep at night, before I had insomnia. I'm beginning to feel like my old self. I'm thankful that I work in education because it allows me to be hone when the kids are out of school. However, with the price of everything going up, I find that I need to do something else. So, I'm working towards being a virtual assistant & bookkeeper. I think this will be good for me and I would be able to work from home & cut costs. I am focused on my kids now. They will be grown before I know it and I want to enjoy them before they grow up & have their own lives. Thank you again for this video. It was the motivation I needed.
Thank you for this video! I appreciate the honesty. Im so scared I will fail my child. I just found out yesterday Im pregnant and decided im having my baby. I plan to tell the dad and even if we dont make it as a couple I will raise this baby by myself. I thank God im not young but im still on my own. This helped me realize I can do anything. I plan to work and go back to school online for extra money. Idk how the whole child care is gonna work but ill figure it out. Idk how im going to date as a single mom but just bc I have a child doesnt mean im going to stop looking for love. Itll be me, my baby, and my puppy 🐶❤️ #Ijustaskgodhelpthruitall.
Unfortunately, I miscarried a week after I found out I was pregnant. This has been rough seeing single moms and babies all over RUclips. Its been extremely painful my coworker is pregnant and thriving. I feel like God has giving up on me.
I love the support I see in the comments . God bless all of strong single moms
Im a Mommy of 6-and totally agree w/you...Just sitting in living room watching Tv in peace and quiet is enough for me-just to get some me time just for a couple of minutes daily-lol....I care for 6 kiddo's by myself daily-and love every bit of it..This is what I say-"SAME ROUTINE AND STRUCTURE" is key to be successful for day to day w/ thee amount of kiddo's I have....I actually do my daily duties daily while everything else that comes with it....I just put aside some me time just 1 month ago in a whole 18 years-lol...But my me time is just going to wash my face and brush my teeth by myself-lol...Taking a shower in bathroom just by myself-is perfect for me...But sometimes it doesnt work out that way...Just subscribed 2 ur chnnl-Take care...
OMG this video speaks to me. Been single since I was4 months pregnant. Baby turns 1 this month. I’m finding my way. It’s slow but I have already changed so much. I went from having no direction to learning two new crafts and getting ready to launch my own website any Etsy shop. I have to make this succeed so I can take care of my daughter and I. I don’t want to be in a relationship right now. My parents keep trying to encourage me too; but I’m not ready yet. I’m so much happier now than I was with my ex. And I’m more tired than I’ve ever been in my life.
Love love LOVE this!!!! I’m a first time mom during this pandemic my child is 9 months old and it is super hard to get a trust worthy sitter just to go grocery shopping or to appointments but I’m making it work and staying positive I’m definitely going to try these tips thank you for speaking on the single mom subject. it’s nice to hear other moms routines or just any tips on how to make life easier
I am getting separated from my partner, and we have a toddler too. Thank you for this video. I never thought that we would end up this way… but I will be fine. God is my rock.
Same situation.. how has it been for you so far?
Another great video! ❤️ I’m not a single mom but still really enjoyed it! Love your positivity ❤️ I’d love to see a video on how you provide financially for your family!
😄 I would love to share
not a single mom but I do a lot of stuff only me and Daughter 'cuz hubby can't take off from work most of time. Vaccation, going anywhere not a problem. I love it. So proud of you how you explained everything and helped anyone that needs to hear this. Single Moms Rock.
That’s awesome 👏👏👏 Not letting anything stop you from having fun!
I found out my friend is pregnant and is going to be a single mom today sees been In a toxic relationship and he told her to get an abortion but she decided to keep her child, so in a couple months me her and my family are going to Rais this baby together and support her in any way❤️
Literally sounded like u were explaining what happened to me. I hope she is doing well! Hugssss🤗
How is it going? 🥺 I’m going through that right now but debating on keeping the baby and being a single mama or listen to the dad who straight up said get a abortion because he won’t be there..
@@requelcurtis3830 do what you think is best for you. I’m struggling with those feelings as well. However we have two previous kids. This would be his third. We separated last week. I know an abortion would be the best bet for me. But I’m scared, my family and friends are very supportive so I might keep the baby idk. If you need to talk I’m here 🥺

Have you considered the mental repercussions of an abortion???? It's not easy on the body and mentally it can duck you up long term. Abortion advocates don't discuss this. Have your child, you won't regret it. It won't be easy but life itself isn't easy
@@candyluna2929 the mental repercussions of abortion are short term compared to having to support a child for 18 (more realistically 21-25) years. Therapy can help with the "
mental repercussions" of abortion, it cant put food on the table or a roof over your head. If you cant raise a baby on the finances you have, get an abortion.
Thank you so much i love you! I really needed this.. i searched for some advice for single moms as i want to get a job and work for a better life for my child.. thank you this was inspiring ❤
First rule of being a single mum.....make sure you are the best of yourself. Being gorgeous also helps! Have some fun. Date lots and realise what a normal relationship should look like. Don’t settle for second best. Don’t be lured by money. Get yourself in tip top condition and look hot!

I think it is a very motivational video. I am about to get divorced and become a single mum and watching this has made me feel more positive about it. Thanks so much
I was a single parent of 5. Much easier than when I was married. Been divorced 20 years now.
One or 2 children is definately easier though.
I'm a single mom of a teen daughter your videos really help me a lot
I'm 21 years old with two kids I and I just become a single mom it's so had for me 💔😢😢💔
What happened?
At least you are being truthful. I commend you for that.
I really needed to hear this cuz right now I’m overwhelmed with life. thank you
Why overwhelmed?
Hugs 🤗 ❤️
Thank you so much for this video as a single mom I needed to hear this. You are inspiring🙂
Hi pretty
It's interesting that you brought up not giving ourselves the excuse of feeling special for being a single mom. For me it was the opposite. I used it as fuel to push me to succeed because I felt at a disadvantage and felt I needed to work twice as hard, which in reality we do because we're now assuming our partner's responsibility. However, I am aware many have that victim mentality and use it as an excuse for their lack of effort or progress. Also, thank you for serving as inspiration! May you continue to be blessed on your journey. 💖
Glad you posted this comment.. every woman is different.
