Good To Know: What Single Parents Do Every Day
If you have a tough day, if you feel left alone and overwhelmed, then I have a treat for you. Chris Rodell’s praise of single parents is the feel-good article you should read today. It reminds us of the admirable job single parents do every day, without faltering, in dedication to their children.
Rodell is married, but he apparently experienced for the first time taking care of his children by himself when his wife went on a trip with friends and left their house for four days. Chris’ conclusion: “I have no idea how single parents do it. I just did it for four slim days and it nearly killed me.”
I seriously think that many single parents aren’t aware of what they are doing for their children and how much it means that they learn how to navigate life on their own. Chris’ is a writer and I noticed that his passion is satire, but I am quite convinced that he is serious with his post.
From his article:
“The disruption to my soft little routine was brutal. If [my wife is] the jet engine that runs our home, then I’m the drink cart. I provide momentary refreshment to the journey while she sees that we all get where we’re going safely and on time.
My little life is very satisfying in that way. I love tickle time with the girls and I love alone time spent at my shabby little office above the corner tavern where I meet my friends for frequent inebriation.
Her being away causes the entire house of cards to collapse. I spent nearly every waking second with our daughters, Josie, 9, and Lucinda, 3.”
Jump over to Chris’ article. It’ll make you smile and proud.
Thanks to Chris for such an encouraging post.
