How To Be A (Super) Single Mom?

How to be a (super) single mom, this is perhaps the most difficult question a single mom can ask herself. The question is not how to be a super mom, but how to juggle and synchronize everything that awaits you in the best possible way. And every single parent knows how challenging that is.

Also, it’s important to find the answer to the question of how to separate the important from the irrelevant, to overcome the feeling that time and obligations break you and that you can’t balance it all. If as a single mom, you haven’t experienced a moment where you feel like you don’t have enough time to fulfill all your obligations, then you’re either from another planet or you haven’t set the bar high. And it doesn’t matter how many children you have and whether you have given your maximum.

Simplify, Not Complicate

The moment the standards are set and if you reach them, then it becomes clear that there is no compromise. But still, you need to know where your limits are and understand that there are days when you simply will not meet your own and children’s standards and that you will not be able to do everything.

Even if you know you did your best. Such days should be simply accepted and understood that not everything has to always be perfect for us to be good mothers. Only then does life become a little easier. Every single mother should become aware that life is hard enough and without complicating situations. She should also become a master of simplifying, instead complicating life.

Without even a minimal dose of optimism training every day, normal life will be an impossible mission and unattainable. Because extra pressure is the last thing we need. Therefore, do not set yourself the task of how to be perfect, but how to be a good organizer and how to be skilled.

Because organization is single parents’ middle name, as well as the skill to use all available means to make your life at least a little easier. There are so many ways to complicate life and people do it too well. I guess that’s in their nature. More precisely, biology has confirmed that. Therefore, when we learn to simplify things, then life becomes much easier and simpler for all of us. And it doesn’t have to have anything to do with single parenting.

Quality, Not Quantity

Single mothers in their desire to get everything very often become victims of a life routine. This is one of the biggest mistakes they can make because in that way the quality of life and common time that children remember very much is lost. And certainly more intense than how much we cooked, washed, cleaned, and tried to make everything around us flawless. And even when you do all of the above, the kids should be a part of that story, because then it gets more interesting too. The fellowship is built, a relationship is built and developed every day. And there are some common obligation that are a great opportunity for that.

Although being a mother is the most responsible, not to say the hardest job in the world, one should know and enjoy it. Otherwise, we will exhaust the joys of life and motherhood will become painful. And the time that we did not spend well and that we made bitter for ourselves, we will never be able to return. Therefore, one should live and function without pressure, condemnation, harshness, guilt, and overburdening with obligations to the detriment of the beauty of life and quality time spent.

Respect yourself and others, praise yourself and them from time to time and find a way to relax. Because without recharging the batteries, you will end up in a situation where you will burn out and suck all the joy of life out of you. And then you will no longer be good to yourself or your children. And the world will look like the cruelest place in the world.

Count To 10 And Breathe

Single mothers often forget that they are living beings who deserve to be happy. Repeat to yourself, every day if you need to, that you deserve happiness, joy, and breathe. When you feel that you have too much, leave everything, ask for help, breathe deeply, and learn to count to 10. As soon as a person gets out of the rut and pressure, he can look at the situation from the side and observe everything differently. It helps a lot to relax and gives the energy to continue. But by realizing that only the strong you can be a support to children who seem to have built-in sensors and radars and feel you and your emotions.

Although single mothers are often called superwomen, it happens and it’s quite normal that they sometimes need help as well. And that’s perfectly fine because she has taken on the double role of parenthood, thus doubling the challenge.

For The End

What has brought me the best results as a single mother regarding my parenting is the daily conversation with my children. Then one important thing, and that is that I always did what I said I would do. And in the end, I certainly learned that I am not perfect, and that perfect does not exist. Also, no less important, that I asked for help when I needed it. And then when you realize that life is not perfect, that you are not perfect, and that perfect does not exist, everything is easier. The only perfect thing is to strive to be aware every day that you strive for the best version of yourself in everything, even in being the best mother to your children…
