Just a year ago, I was solo parenting 8 hours a day, with our family living 1900 miles away! Now, I can't imagine how I'm going to do the whole "mom of two kids" thing, even with my mom 5 min. away and Jesse coming home every day at 3pm. It's really overwhelming to think about, and I wish that I had the confidence that I used to just a year ago. But I'm realizing that a lot of it is a mental block, not an actual incapability. We can all do a lot more than we think when push comes to shove, we just are afraid to. I think that mom you talked to probably has a lot of fear because she's never HAD to solo parent, and also because she's pregnant and a lot of fears and anxieties are heightened anyways. Luckily, since you didn't have a choice, you don't have to deal with that fear, because you already know you CAN and HAVE done it!KelBelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101530247125768649noreply@blogger.com
