I am a temporary single parent. It is not my favorite situation. Big G will be gone on a business trip for 2 weeks. We have not been apart that long since last year (he started his new job in the southeast 6 weeks before the girls & I moved down here from the northeast…that was tough for me & the girls). This is nothing compared to that…but still hard on us. Big G & I are very close…we have moved around a lot in the 16 years we have lived together…lots of times we only have each other as friends, you know until we meet people & start a new life in our new place. So I don’t like it when he’s gone.
It wasn’t until we had kids that I really appreciated how hard it must be to be a single parent. Big G has almost always been gone from dawn until well after dusk…just the nature of his job. But he always comes home, he’s always here for at least some of the weekend and I am not the only one who has to worry about where the money is going to come from. I don’t know how all you single parents do it…but I have tremendous respect for you…you all deserve more of it than I think you get.
