1. “There will be so many times you feel like you’ve failed. But in the eyes, heart and mind of your child, you are supermum.” Stephanie Precourt
2. “It’s about love, and that’s what I constantly remind myself of because I kind of let society get inside my head. ‘Oh, it shouldn’t be like this. I did this, I did that. I failed.’ And it’s like, no. They’re happy, they’re healthy, they’re loved more than anything in the world and they’re going to be fine.” – Jennifer Lopez
3. “Always speak respectfully about your child’s other parent, even if it doesn’t reflect how you really feel. Children see themselves as being a part of each of their parents. If they’ve been told one of their parents is somehow ‘bad’ they will also see themselves as bad.” Paraphrased from Philippa Perry
4. “Single moms don’t have it easy. But they always find a way to make it work, even when they don’t know how. It’s the love for their child that pushes them through, every single time.” – Unknown
5. “Single moms : You are a Doctor, a Teacher, a Nurse, a Maid, a Cook, a Referee, a heroine, a provider, a defender, a protector, a true superwoman. Wear your cape proudly.” – Mandy Hale
6. “Just because I am a single mother doesn’t mean I cannot be a success.” – Yvonne Kaloki
7. I think moms, single or not, put a lot of pressure on ourselves trying to balance it all. It’s never going to be perfectly balanced – The sooner you know this, the sooner you can relieve some of the pressure you put on yourself” – Denise Richards.
8. “A child asks his dad, “What’s a man?” The dad says. “A man is someone who is responsible and cares for their family.” The child says, “I hope one day I can be a man just like mom!” – Unknown
9. “We as single mums, get fed a certain story about ourselves. That we don’t do well in life, because we can’t, or we don’t want to. According to the media we live off benefits and leech the tax-payers. Sitting around at home all day watching trash TV and spending all our spare cash on fags and acrylic nails. There’s a stigma on single mums – still because society sees us as failures… But I’m not a failure, I’m the opposite. I’m someone who doesn’t quit when things are hard. Single parents are not failures. They’re moving mountains, making the best out of a tough situation, and most importantly — loving their kids.” – @justustwomum on Instagram.
10. “Taking care of myself doesn’t mean “me first” It means, “me, too”. “ – L.R Knosts
