Feeling Old

Its amazing how old a person can get and so quickly… Being a mom I have so many responsibilities. So many things I have to do. You cant let your concentration slip for one second. I find myself at the age of 23 feeling like a 50 year old. I have black bugs under my eyes…Im always tired. I get up at god awful times of the morning and go to bed at untimely times of the night. I work a (including travelling times) 7am-6.30pm job, get home sort out my daughter, have some play time, put her to bed about 8, then I eat, bath, watch an hour of tv and sort out things for the next day and in bed by 11.30 if I’m lucky. There is no time for dating… No time for friends. The saying WORK HARD PLAY HARDER does not apply here… LOL

I said to my mother the other day – Ooh I would love to go away for the weekend and go lye on the beach. My mother turned around and said YOU’RE A MOTHER NOW. And I guess in a way that’s the path I have chosen. I chose to be this old person with no friends and no love of my life. Oddly enough as lonely as what I get I would not change it for the world. I love that little girl more than anything and don’t regret having her. The vacation will just have to wait till she is a bit older.

Its still amazes me how people respond to you once they find out you’re a mother. Especially guys. First question is… Where’s the father? Followed by Oh you’re a single mom!!! Its almost a guarantee you wont see them again.

The only thing that pisses me off (and this is the first and last time you will here me say this) I was not the only one there that night. I chose to take responsibility for my actions and her father just decides he doesn’t want to. What the hell is I don’t want to. Coward. He is going to miss the best thing that ever happened to him….

Well just needed to rant and rave a tad…

I have opinions about this..... Many!
as usual
I think young single moms are heros and the guys that dont give you the time of day are spineless.

You see they have these principles that they will never date a single mom because the kid is such a drag.
well its all very nice for them to say that because they will never be in that situation.
they never for a moment put themselves in your position.

What if they fathered a child?
how would they feel if other guys did that to the mother of their kid.

I have had this fight with a friend before and I stand by my point that it a shallow male luxury to shrug your shoulders and say "I just dont date girls with kids"

at the same time I do have to say that a guy who writes you off cause you have a kid is not worthy of you and could probably not handle the responsibility anyway

SNAPS FOR GECKO AND DONSIE AND ALL THE SINGLE MOMS

mmmmm There's nothing I hate more than a guy creating life and then run away from the perfect soul that they created.

mmmmm Single mom. okay Lee wait a bit. Sorry sunny but I'm gonna use you for an example... She just said she has no time. How do you built a new relationship with a hour a day?? Not meant bad Sunny... I have respect for you!

Hang in there. I know a woman with 3 kids and she found a decent man that wasn't scared off by that responsibility!! It may not happen for some time, but you're quite busy as it is for now!

Dear Sunny, single moms are the best thing ever, and you are amazing to take the responsibility. The right guy will not mind that you have a child. This I know cause my best friend has two kids and she just met the greatest guy ever, he plays withe the kids and they love him too bits. So just be your wonderful self, everything will work out like it is suppose too.
