Single Moms: Whether You Chose It or It Chose You – You're Still THAT Woman✨

Let’s get something straight: Single motherhood is not a weakness. It’s not a charity case, a tragedy, or a social experiment gone wrong. It is a full-time, soul-stretching, heart-expanding job. And guess what? Some of us chose this life. Some of us didn’t. And all of us? We’re out here showing up, day after day, raising future legends on sheer caffeine, chaos, and an unshakable love for our kids.


So... What Is a Single Mom, Really?

Let’s be clear. A single mother is not just a woman who doesn’t live with her child’s father. She's the one doing the work, making the appointments, paying the bills, fixing the broken faucet with a YouTube tutorial and a prayer, wiping tears (hers and the kid’s), and still showing up to parent-teacher night looking fabulous — or at least semi-conscious.

It’s not just a relationship status. It’s a damn superpower.


The Challenges: Not for the Weak

Oh honey, don’t let the Instagram reels fool you. Single motherhood comes with more plot twists than a telenovela.

  • Financial pressure? Try stretching one income (or none!) across a child who eats like an adult linebacker.

  • Emotional load? You're the good cop, bad cop, judge, jury, therapist, and human napkin.

  • Time? What’s that? You’re expected to be at work, the school play, and the pediatrician’s office — all at the same time. Time-traveling may be next on your resume.

  • Loneliness? Some nights hit harder than a toddler tantrum in Target. The silence after bedtime? Sometimes it's golden. Sometimes it's heavy.


Two Queens: The Ones Who Chose & The Ones Who Didn’t


The Ones Who Chose It

Yes, babe — some women chose single motherhood. IVF. Adoption. Donor sperm. Or maybe just deciding, “You know what? I’d rather do this solo than settle for a half-ass partner.” These women saw the mountain and said, “Yeah, I’ll climb it in heels.”

People often look at them like they’re crazy. “You chose THIS?” Yes. And they’re rocking it. Because doing it alone is better than doing it with someone who holds you back.


The Ones Who Didn’t

Then there are the ones who didn’t ask for this. The dad ghosted. Or passed away. Or turned out to be about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Divorce, betrayal, or just life throwing curveballs.

They didn’t want this path, but they took it anyway. And here’s the magic: they made it theirs. Crying in the pantry one minute, slaying a parent-teacher meeting the next. Resilience? These moms wrote the book.


To All the Single Moms

Whether you’re thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between — you are valid, powerful, and worthy. Your motherhood is not second-rate. It is not a sad story. It is a victory lap in progress.

So, the next time someone hits you with, “I don’t know how you do it,” just smile and say:

“Me neither. But I do. Every. Damn. Day.”
