Happy Father's Day to you single moms!

[MissMillie]

My son's dad abandoned him when he was 2. When we could find him, we were able to get child support subtracted from his wages (when he worked).

I think anyone who raises a child volunteers for the toughest job on the planet, when they do it alone, it's nothing short of a miracle.

So to all you single moms out there, who had to be both mom and dad--here's to you!

6. Recommended! I know it doesn't count

but then, I don't think my vote did either.

Big love for the moms doing the job of both parents, or even 1.5 of the parents. I couldn't agree with you more.

Being a single Dad I know how difficult it is to keep things together and still be loving and nurturing.

12. You single dads rock too.

I can't even fathom it. I'd be (even more of) a blithering idiot at the end of every day.

Happy Father's Day.

13. That's a very hard job to do as well

I think there's a bit more social acceptance of single mothers than single fathers. Certainly that was the case when I was growing up.

Happy Fathers Day to you! :yourock:
