30 Things Single Mums Want You to Know

Image
Being a single mum is the hardest job I've ever done. I also happen to love it more than anything. I work around the clock — there are no sick days (definitely no personal days either). I raise my daughter completely on my own and still make all the money as our sole income.

As you might imagine, I burned my fingers on contact and began scream-crying with swollen hands.

And I genuinely believe that my tough love upbringing played a role. Beyond that one example, there were plenty more that followed, in which I had to learn to...
