Advice

Hey Mamas, I need some advice. I’m under a lot of stress right now trying to balance motherhood, and work and keeping our roof over our head I feel like a terrible mom because of the lack of structure I give my daughter. I feel bad because her dad is basically the fun parent and I’m the one who is the mom and dad and protector so I feel like sometimes I be so burnt out to do fun things with her when I finally do have a day off. I don’t have a car and that gets in the way but sometimes I feel like my stress is impacting my life really bad right now and I just been more frustrated than anything. I do counseling which helps me tremendously but during that time I don’t have my counseling session I feel like I be up under so much emotional stress. I’m a single mom and my job is in the way of providing a consistent routine with my daughter. I feel like things all over the place and that makes me overwhelmed as well. Any advice would be gladly appreciated!

Maybe you can look for free kid events in your city that isn't too far. Also maybe designated family nights. For example, game night where you play different games or movie night or self care night where you two do fun things to relax and feel pampered . It can be when your schedule permits.

Daysha, breath. Easier said than done. As moms, especially when given situations outside our own doings and as single mothers, please take to heart that you are not alone. Find a quiet place and pray. God is near to you. Jesus is waiting for you to call upon him. He will wipe every tear for his spirit lifts the weary and broken hearted. As a single mother of 2 teens and a toddler, working 2 jobs, I understand. I know it is easy to put doubt on our best efforts. Because failure if not an option. Because mommy is the mvp. But behind the greatest stars there is always a coach. Keep pushing. Lift everything out your hands and place it in the only hands who is always more than able. I’m not perfect. I make mistakes. I do know, when surrendering things outside my control in prayer makes it just a bit more manageable. You are valued. Worthy. Loved. Chosen. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers🫂❤️ here for you.
