"in praise of single mothers" over on gawker.com

[ieh21]

Over on Gawker.com there's a fantastic essay on single motherhood. We dont all like the term single parents, some prefer alone parent, but the context of the piece is that in which there is a complete absence of a second parent, just like for us. It's such a sweet essay, I encourage you to read it and its comments section (there are a few morons in there but it's a majority of people

Lauding our efforts.) sometimes it's nice to get a pat on the back from strangers, anonymously.

 

Happy Mothers' Day to all of us, the moms who are genetically moms and those who got handed the role by fate.
