Single Parents
Being a mother in a stable relationship with an amazing partner makes the tough days of parenthood a lot easier. They are still hard, but having the ability to “tag team” a problem means you aren’t always digging into your reserves when you have to battle through a sleepless night or a fussy day.
This past week Jeremy went to a conference outside of Chicago for a few days. Three days without my teammate. I won’t say that I had to go it alone, as I still went to work and one night Alice came over to chat and play a few rounds of “pass the baby.” It was a busy three days! I wouldn’t trade that time with Oliver for anything, but it reminds me of how much respect I have for women, and men, who go it alone when raising their children.
