Twitter #FF


I just wanted to thank everyone that includes @WeSingleMoms on Follow Fridays. I am a homeschooling single mom and usually don't have time to get online during regular school hours. I've popped online to write on my Home School Blog, then off I go again....
Have a great Friday fellow Tweeters!

House Sharing !? DO I really want to share my space?

Let's face it moms, if child support is trickling in too slow , or in some cases not at all, and your working your butt off doing chores, raising kids, re-training them half the week after a visit with the OTHER PARENT, working/classes... somethings got to give and if we don't give ourselves a break... it will be OUR HEALTH. I speak from personal experience, we must compromise and do what's best for our financial security. I don't mean start stealing or anything like that,nope. I want  you to think about doing something that single women in South Africa have done.... SHARE YOUR HOME with another SINGLE MOTHER FAMILY.

That's the key, another single mom and her kids, NOT A GUY! He's a user if he wants to SHARE.. what a boyman. He should be offering to marry you and PAY THE MORTGAGE/RENT if he is a REAL MAN!
 Say what you want MEN, but you know it's the truth. All men over the centuries, even the bad ones are cringing at this generation of wimps and users....the TRUTH hurts. I know, I know there are some women that make me cringe too, but that's their problem. I want to help the MOMS. If you think you can do her job, then actually prove to us that you can do YOURS first.

BTW, I don't HATE men. I HATE the way many of them act - SELFISH. I honor those that are doing their jobs-helping raise beautiful LOVED kids.

NOW, back to the post........ cough cough.

 For Example... I have the honor to own a large but older home. It's a fixer- upper because that's what I do as a hobby, I never claimed not to be a bit eccentric....I embrace it!

 I've got kids leaving the nest, going to live with dad because I have RULES ... and lots of bedrooms. Vacant bedrooms and I would consider letting a single mom who has her kids, or doesn't at the moment because crap happens,to RENT a BEDROOM/S and share costs. I'M a live-in babysitter and I need some timeout too. Share cooking, bills, sitting, and ANOTHER ADULT TO TALK TO  !!!!!!

 I've let a single mom, that I've known since her birth, stay with me while she was getting her place ready. I was also prepared to let her stay the summer (kids school district isn't near) since her work is between here and there but she is sharing with her WIDOWED GRANDMOTHER. What an idea! They help each other...... That's one of my slogans  #WeHelpEachOther  ....let's face it, no one else will help because they've already pre-judged us/our situation, ashamed, too poor themselves, etc....

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MUST BEWARE !!!!!
 ANYONE, ANYONE, that you let in your HOME/ around your KIDS, should be checked out legally and every way else possible.

My local check in Oklahoma is http://www.odcr.com
On Demand Court Records.

Get my drift here? DON'T let ANYONE in your HOME that could cause TROUBLE/GRIEF. CHECK THEM OUT and don't be afraid to turn them down.

 I recently turned down a young lady because she had some legal issues, nothing serious but on paper it looked bad. Anyway, since I STILL HAVE CHILDREN IN MY HOME, I decided we weren't a GOOD MATCH. I'm still looking...
FYI, I'm near OSU.....so something will present itself soon.

Welcome ! This is the WeSingleMoms BLOG ! 

I started this group on Facebook in 2007 and bounced off Ning to Twitter @WeSingleMoms and have finally decided this is where I want to build a nest. I hope my ramblings help you find a better path in your single mom journey! I hope that my experiences, mistakes, and lessons somehow help and or inspire you.
