Greetings to Motherhood Community! Since I'm new here, I wanted to introduce myself as @usagidee and share some of my parenting journey as a single mother. First of all, I wanted to thank @victoriabsb for creating this community free for all mothers out there. I do believe that I'll be able to share some of my journeys here as a parent as well as sharing some insights about parenting.☺❤🙏🏼
I wanted you to first get to know my dear one. He just turned eight in June, and starting on August 22nd of this school year, he will be studying at the grade three level.
In all honesty, raising a child is really challenging, especially if you are a single parent. You bear full responsibility. Furthermore, in addition to being a mother to your child, you are also his father. I can tell that throughout the first few months of his existence, I had significant despair and anxiety. I just have myself as my life companion. And because of that, I had to learn to stand on my own two feet in order to provide for my kid and myself since he was fatherless. I simply feel grateful that my parents didn't forsake us during these trying times. They embraced and helped me raise this child even though they still have some anger toward me.
I made the decision to return to college and complete my studies because I still hope to provide a secure and promising future for my child. This is one of my major concerns since, first, both my kid and I are studying, second, I still need to work to support us, and third, we can't give up our leisure time hobbies. How do you suppose I manage it all? Quite frankly, I have no idea how I manage it all. But I can only say one thing: this boy taught me a lot in life. He is the main motivation behind my ability to do feats of strength that I never imagined possible.
I occasionally experience despair. The situation is so challenging at times that I consider giving up. But every time I gaze at this child, my troubles seem to momentarily fade away. It appeared as though God was actually motivating me to chase my goals. And because of the encouragement I get from this youngster, I'm striving even harder to succeed in life. I do everything for him. Even if I don't have a partner in parenting him, I know there are others who can provide me with moral support, such as my siblings and parents.
I'm proud of all the mothers who are parenting their kids by themselves. Every time I meet a single mother, I am in admiration of how committed they are to becoming a mother. They rank among the heroes I can truly appreciate. Don't get me wrong; it's the same as being a father who is raising his children alone and acting as their substitute parent. I am aware of how difficult and exhausting it is, therefore we all deserve other people's respect.
This blog is for you if you are a single parent in this community. I want you to know that your kids think you are fantastic and adore you. They will genuinely express to you how grateful they are for you one day. Before this blog entry closes, allow me to share a quote from Kate Winslet:
"You always have to carry on. And you can, because you have to."

I love the content, sis. I'm sure raising a kid by yourself is no joke. I don't have a kid but I act as my 2nd/3rd mom to my nephew, who's gonna turn 3 soon. Since he's very clingy and always wants my attention, it's hard to be productive whether online or in the real life. His mom is in Cebu working and since it's summer, the baby and his 2 older siblings are here for a vacation. Despite the struggles, I just love them around. So this article makes me proud of all the moms out there, especially the single moms who try to provide the best for their kid(s). Cheers to you and all the moms and the feelings moms like me!
Awwww nakaka teary eyes naman ate. 🥲☺️ Actually I feel you because my sister and other siblings alsó trying to parenting my son kasi alam din tlga nila na I need help. Ang bata ko pa non. 😭😭
But yeh, luckily with the help of them and my parents, kinakaya ko talaga. Parenting a kid is such a struggle. Nanjan na kasi ung kapag sobrang sweet nyo dalawa eh nagiging spoiled na kaya dapat disiplinahin mabuti. Thank God na lang talaga may mga naka guide sakin sa pagpapalaki skanya. 🙌🙌
Awwww, it's hard but for him lalaban ano. Being a Mom is truly hard. Dami kong na witness nna Mom na sobrang nahihirapan talaga lalo bago palang ee. Pero bakakaya mandin nila. Iba talaga ang lakas ng mga Ina ee. For their kids they can be a super woman. You are really doing good dzaii 💪💪😁
True. Alam mo nung una sabi ko di ko kaya eh pero as he grows up, don ko nafi feel na kaya ko pala. Iba din ung encouragement ng anak kapag na feel nila na nanghihina nanay nila.
Yes naman, way to go 💪🤙😁
I thought you are a dalagita ate hehhe. Indeed, gagawin ng ina lahat para sa kanyang anak. Being a mom is not easy, continue fighting 🙏
Hihi. Thank you ah 😂 Pero honestly mama na ako. My sone calls me 'nanay' kaya lalong lumiliit mga matang nakatingin samin pero okay un for me.
Single parent ka pala sis. My sister is also a single parent. Kaya ako nag aalaga ng anak nya kasi nagwowork sya.
Wow. Really ate? Kudos sainyo dalawa. Mahirap din mag alaga ng bata
Sobra lalo ngayon sabay pa sila mag daycare jusko.
ng anak mo sis?

Ang cute naman ng anak mo..by any chance, hndi b nya hinanap father nya? Or sinupurtahan sya financially?
Ang father na kinikilala niya is ung father ko ate. Then si mama ung mother din but I explained na din skanya na ako ung biological mom niya. Good thing na gets na niya agad un di na niya hinanap.
Ung bio dad naman niya, nag support naman pero ilang buwan pagka panganak ko lang after ko umuwi samin never na sya nagpakita. As in up to this day wala ako balita. Tinanggap ko na lang.
You're one tough lovely mom, sis! Much respect 😘
Thanks ate!!
❤️❤️❤️

hugs sis! I know all mothers are strong and tough but it is super hard indeed to raise a child even with a father so it is double or maybe triple challenging if there's no father figure at all! I salute you and the rest of our super mommies who brought up their kids on their own! God bless!
Salute sa lahat Ng mga single parent.
Thank you sis. 🙌
Having a kid is not an easy job. As the first child of my parent, I know how it feels because I am the second parent to my siblings. Keep been strong.
Hey sis. Di ko Alam na single mom ka Pala ang Alam ko sa read eh akala ko anak siya ng partner mo.
Anyways relate na relate ako about being a single mom.. I was a single mom for 13 years bago ako Nakapag asawa.
Ang cutie ng junakis mana sa mommy
I like this introduction, I too was raised by a single mom for a good portion of my early years. Out of curiousity, what do you think are the main causes for so many single moms out there? Thoughts or theories?
Hello there @dcardinal1985 and thank you for stopping by. I was young when I became a mom. That's why I believe that one of the factors that led to seperation was psychological incapacity on both sides.
aawww, I love you sis, keep chasing your dreams, sending hugs your way. Its really hard to raise a child kahit may partner kapa, di ko maimagine ang struggles mo. Congratulations nga pala, ang layo na ng naabot mo sa motherhood journey mo
Malayu pa pero malayo na din sis ang napagdaanan. Pero laban lang, dami ko challenges this year kaya hanggat maaari tlga pinipilit ko magpaka tatag.
ganayan dapat sis, dami ko din mga discouragement sis, ang masaklap pa ay sa sarili ko ako nadidiscourage, di ko alam ang dahilan and di ko din alam san nanggaling. Fight lang tayo, happiness padin ending neto
