    Man, it is very rare to want a greentext to be real as much as I want this one to be. I’m going to pretend it is, even if it isn’t. Because holy fuck, does the world need people like that.

      Man. I’m a single mom. It be like that sometimes.

      Not the whole “you need a man around”-thing. It’s a single-parent thing. It’s hard as fuck to do all the work yourself and not have someone to help out when you may be at your limit.

      Not to mention single-parent households deal more with poverty, housing insecurity, poor mental health, overworking, etc.

      I watched it happen to a lot of my friends growing up. It’s fucking rough.

      It’s not every case, but it can be a lot.

        I’m a married parent now, and grew up with a single mom.

        I have no idea how she fucking did it. Seriously. She worked a retail job, maintained an acreage and raised two kids. I can’t even imagine doing half that on my own let alone on less than half the income I make now.

        Ya did good, mama. Ya did real good. I ended up with a graduate degree, make decent money, and have a stable household to raise my boys.

        Thanks, mom
