Terri Ramsey Beavers A single mom is a woman who is the head of her household and raises her children without the help of a partner. This can be a difficult task, but it can also be rewarding. There are many things that a single mom can do to make life easier for herself, and her friends are some of the most important ones. In this blog post, we will discuss seven friends that every single mom should have.
Tell Me All About It
The first friend that every single mom should have is a good therapist. A therapist can help you deal with the stress of being a single parent and offer support when needed. They can also provide helpful advice on how to handle difficult situations.
Support Group
Another great friend for a single mom is a supportive group of other mothers who are in the same situation. This group can provide emotional support and practical advice on things like child care, a great pediatric chiropractor, and budgeting. It’s also nice to have friends who understand what you’re going through.
No Baby, But Still In Your Corner
A single mom should also have some close friends outside of her parenting circle. These friends can provide a different perspective on things and can be a great source of comfort and laughter. It’s important for a single mom to have friends that aren’t just other single parents.
Single But Still Mingle
Fourth place goes out to…clubs! Yes, that’s right-clubs. Single parents are often out and about more than anyone else because they have to be. So, it’s easy to meet people in clubs who share similar interests and make great friends too.
Virtual Friends
Number five on the list is online friends. There are so many amazing single moms out there sharing their stories and experiences with others through blogs, social media platforms, etc., that it would be silly not to add them to your friend roster. Not only can you learn a lot from these women (and sometimes dads), but you can also form some pretty strong connections too, which is always great.
We Heart Child-friendly Events
Number six goes out to local businesses that offer child-friendly events or activities. This could be anything from a mommy-and-me gym class at the YMCA to free storytime events held at libraries across town. So when you’re looking for something fun and exciting for your little one, don’t forget about these types of places because sometimes they have great things going on too.
Love Yourself
The last friend every single mom should have is herself! It’s easy to get caught up in the role of being someone else’s mother, but it’s also important not to forget who you are as an individual. Take time out each day just for yourself-read a book or watch your favorite movie while eating popcorn on the couch. When you do this regularly, it will become part of your routine and help maintain a balance between work life.
Single mothers often find themselves feeling isolated and alone. However, they don’t have to be. There are plenty of people who can be there for them as friends.
