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.

I pay the bills, cook the meals, clean the house, carpool to gymnastics class, and still find time to spend with my daughter, who I do everything for.

3 Reasons I'm Thankful My Parents Raised Me With Tough Love

I have one standout memory from my childhood: I was a toddler, and I kept reaching for a cookie sheet that had just come out of the oven. I knew it was hot, but I guess I was curious to find out exactly how hot. (Kids are so weird.)  My dad, sick of me not listening to my mom's warnings, finally said, "Go ahead, touch it." As you might imagine, I burned my fingers on contact and began scream-crying with swollen hands. But hey, you can bet that I never tried to touch a hot pan again. -  5 Tips For Good Parenting To this day, I'm still determining whether that was an example of cruelty or tough love, but I did learn my lesson. Fast forward to me today, at 24 years old (my fingers are fine by the way), and I honestly couldn't be prouder of who and where I am at this semi-early stage in my life. 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...
