a great idea for single mamas May 13, 2008

I was a single parent for about 4 years before I met Jon. I had a lot more help than many people - grandparents, my sister, good friends - but still, getting everybody fed and bathed each night, and the house clean and my job done and the groceries bought - that stuff was my responsibility alone. And it was hard as hell.

Now that I have Jon to parent with me, I look back and wonder how in the world I did it. I honestly don’t know.

So I find this idea - a service that matches single mamas with other single mamas - pretty great. Intentional communities are something I’ve long been interested in, and sharing parenting with other adults makes for happier, healthier parents and kids.
