I came down the stairs this morning thinking how lucky I am to have a dh who is taking me out for lunch today and remembered how tough it was when I was a single parent doing the job of two and yet my children were too young to realise it was a special day.
I see nappybaglady has started a thread saying that single mums are great - well I couldn't agree more. I was watching Dr Phil the other day and he said lone parents are his heroes - along with nurses and teachers. About time someone noticed how hard they work.
So here's wishing all of you a happy Mothers' Day. If your children are too young, pamper yourself a bit...and before you know it they will grow and love you so much for all you have done for them and all you gave up for them. You will be their hero(ine) for Mothers' Days to come!
