Destined to be

chapter 63

Emily: " I guess I am feeling that . I want to give the best to my child and I fear that I won't be able to . I don't think it's a good time to make a come back . I will turn down the acting project . "

Estella: " This is a mistake that most of the mother make . Being a mother does not mean giving up everything you believe in , everything you want . Don't loose yourself . Be a role model that your child can probably look upon . I know being a mother is important but so our dreams never give up on them for any reason or after years you will sit on a chair and you will regret all the opportunities that you let slpi through your hands . I used to be a dancer when Steven was born I gave up dancing and I regret that till date . Don't you make the same mistake . "

Emily: " My life will be hard , won't it . . . . . . "

Estella: " Life is indeed much harder for a single mom who has to navigate life without the many wonderful benefits that a two-parent household provides . In addition to the normal challenges , the single mom has to struggle with issues related to our society , as well as a lack of emotional support . The kids also suffer from emotional support and parental involvement because the mom is busy working and attending to her ' new ' lives . "

Emily: " What sorts of struggle will I face ? "

Estella: " I have told you earlier that my mother was a single mother . I will tell you what I have observed .

Being a single mom is hard . If you are a working single mom , it can bring added pressure and stress to the job of raising children alone . With no one to share your daily responsibilities or decision-making , you often feel guilty about leaving your kids in the morning . Becoming a single mother means you have to balance parenting , working , household responsibilities , and dating that more often end up disastrously .

The challenge of organizing daily life as a single mom is a tough one . You often feel stressed and anxious about making all the decisions on your own . The domestic duties like preparing homemade meals , tidying up the house , and the likes , can put a lot of pressure on yourself . But then there’s putting kids to school and providing them the resources to learn and grow up . Imagine not having the time and resources to give the kids worthwhile experiences : fishing , camping , coaching them with their sport , especially if you have a son . You are lucky that you have a daughter . Don't mind but I don't think you have ever played any sport . Life as a single mom is a pretty tough one . I am not trying to scare you but it is true . . .

Being a single mom , you may also struggle financially . You may feel pressured to give your best to support your kids , ultimately you exhaust all your means of getting enough finances . As they grow older may also struggle with their spending habits . But you have got nothing to worry about that I am sure you will be very good in your personal life . . . .
