A day in the life of a 'single' mom
When Dylan mentioned that his new job would require him to be at work on most Saturdays, my heart sank. I wasn't ready to handle the son alone on a weekend, clean his poo, bathe & feed him all by myself, especially the poo part.
How can you manage the day to pass with a hyper-active boy that gets bored easily?
I am only thankful that I know how to drive, I have a car and Jayden does not scream and yell in the car seat which he used to do when he was an infant.
I am even more grateful that I have someone to even prepare meals for the both of us and keep the son entertained!
And so, we spent the afternoon at Dewi's place - home cooked food, the company of Chloe and free flow of endless conversations. Saturdays breezes by quite easily. :)
I brought a mini finger art pack for the kids to try. It turned out..... quite messy!! But I guess the kids had fun making colors.
It was a great time bonding with just the son. I am not sure how long I can tolerate being a Saturday SAHM but I'll keep telling myself that more work = more $$$ = better life for the family!!!
