Single Mom? Single Parent? Or is it called something else?
I was told today by another mom "We need a different title. Single mom just implies you aren't with the father not that he's completely out of the picture and doesn't help at all." This got me thinking "Am I a single mom or am I called something else?" What is the title for a parent who's taking care of their child financially, emotionally, and physically all on their own? Whether it's a single dad who the mother ran away after having their child or if it's a mom that the child's father isn't in their life. We are all established by titles these days, mom, dad, brother, son, daughter, sister, friend, lover, mister, sir, misses, ma'am, b****, babe, honey, grandma, grandpa, single, divorced, married, wife, husband and so many others. So what is my title? Am I just a single mom or am I something else? What exactly is a single mom? I just don't know; I think my title is just "Emily's mommy" which to me is the best title that I could possibly have in this world.
