Don't even get me started about how frustrating/ridiculous/untimely this strike is. Whatevs. A few more days alone won't kill me (maybe I'll kill my kids, but I'll still be fine...)
This time alone has definitely given me a new appreciation for the single parent's out there. While Husband works crazy hours (60-70/week) on a regular basis...he is still home on Sunday's and in the late evenings. (Husband has several varied business interests, among them is our pub/restaurant that has him home between (9:30pm-2:00am) most nights of the week. I'm no stranger to raising these kids on my own...but I'm certainly NOT a single parent. Husband does come home (eventually) and I'm not currently working outside of the home so that means I'm not responsible for bringing home the bacon. (Which would be another huge responsibility.)
So to all those mom and dads out there who are single due to whatever reason, (divorce, death, spouses in the military that are deployed for long periods of time), I salute you!! Raising kids is the ultimate challenge, and doing it without the support of life-partner/spouse is dang hard. Being a hands-on, caring and loving parent who is present both physically and emotionally is so important. But it's so much more difficult when you're facing it alone.
Single parents out there, I have a new respect for you all! Hang in there...

It's hard being without the husband. Hang in there!
What a beautiful picture!!!
Oh I hope you get to see your hubby soon! I can't imagine having the little ones while the hubby is on a trip. I get lonely just waiting to see BK on the weekend, but I think I have a lot of growing up do, lol. Hang in there!
Oh hon, I hope he comes home soon! I miss mine whenever he's away and we don't even have kids yet. Hang tight. Don't kill the kids. I hear that's illegal.
;)
Well I've been all through that cause my hubby was missing about a month to find work and home before coming here!!!I know what you mean!!But sorry strike isnt ridiculous!!We cant just do what ever they tell as to do!!!Many people feel disappointment!!
omgg I can't imagine raising kids by yourself!! Work + cooking + doing homework with them -_- I salute to single parents as well
I know what you mean. I don't know what id do without my husband.
i was raised by a single parent so i have mad respect too! it's hard enough being a parent, but being one alone without a partner? tough stuff.
oh lady i hear you!! i was a single mom with mason until i got married and it was no easy feat! and while it is hard work, it is THE MOST rewarding feeling ever!
