One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned being a solo parent is to be ok with asking for help.
I can’t do this alone. If I try, I will be too stressed out and tired. That’s no good for me or for my kids.
Also, when I ask for help, the others who help feel better. They get to help the girls and I. And they also get to see and bond with the girls if what they’re helping with is watching the kids.
Even the small things with parenting – ask for help. You don’t have to do it alone.
We used to live in close-knit communities with multiple generations that leaned on each other, cooked together and supported one another. We’ve become too self-sufficient.
My challenge to you this week – pick one thing on your to-do list and ask someone else to do it. Then let the outcome go. Things don’t have to be perfect. Talk soon,
