I hate that comment every time I hear it. My story is long one. I have just one child. A boy who is 27 years old. I am married to Joshua’s Dad. Even though he was verbally and sexually abusive too me. So I hope no woman follows my example. Your kids need you too be happy. Accepting less than what you deserve. Which is true happiness is recipe for disaster. Don’t end up like me. People are negative about single mom’s but single Dad’s. Don’t get the same negativity. Joshua now is good involved single Dad. Boys especially know how it feels to not have there Dad around. Better to be poor alone and happy. Then unsafe and okay.
I’m a single mom and divorced over ten years ago. I’m college educated, I’m an Occupational Therapist, I work three jobs, and go to school for a second college degree, and I’m cool being single. I understand what you’re saying but you have to keep doing to keep being superwoman. You can’t change people. Keep pushing forward.
I raised my S0N Lyndsay...All by myself ❤ But he's 40 yrs 0ld & He takes Care 0f Me Now 😅🎉😂❤ He does S0 Very Much For Me 😅🎉😂❤ But as far as being with someone... A relationship I've never had a decent 1...I'm single Now & Have been for S0 Very Many years...& I Just Love it ... Don't have to answer to N0*1 ...I'm so proud of you Meek you've come along Way...& I know it's so hard ...😅🎉😂❤ I've been there ... Hug's & Love Always V 🥰
Preach!!! Nothing will mess up your life worse than a bad partner, and those men can be real bad. They don’t have to be abusive either, to suck the joy out of your life!!!
I feel ya there! I’ve been there. Single parent, Single woman 10 years Single woman to my choice. I seem to always attract the losers. They had me fooled! They come off like Prince Charming then bam! Here comes a different person. I finally broke the cycle. Meek my sons Dad was incarcerated for the first 18 years of my sons life. But now he sees his Dad weekly. My son will be 44 in February. As I raised him as Mother and father. He no longer wants anything to do with me. I’m devastated. I’m 62 now and have a lot of medical issues. I am so upset it breaks my heart. Sweetie I can relate to a lot that you have gone through. Your doing a wonderful job. I feel your frustration though. Keep your head up. Your a very smart woman. I’m so proud of you. God bless 🙏 Much ❤️
I am a single parent as well, and I literally agree with everything you said. All we can do is strive to be good parents everyday, and know we are doing our best. We also need to give ourselves grace because we are doing everything alone. It's just hard when you're in the moment because you cant see the forest for the trees right now.
Have 4 nd 1 is Autistic. It’s extremely hard parenting on your own! It’s even worse when you’re surrounded by family who refuses to help. Stay up sis! You’ll get through this and persevere💪🏾🙏🏿
Hang in there, God will bring you your hero. I was a single mom till my kids were graduating high school and head off. I had two dogs and my hero crossed my path and 15 years later we are still together. Once we learn to be alone our eyes are much wider and our pickers get much better. You’re not kidding the struggle is real girlfriend. I’m hoping young women hear our voices …
I'll remain a cat mom. You are so brave to raise 2 children. Children are more than I can handle. You are amazing. I prefer my furbaby. -Shirley and Skittles Marie 🐱🐈
Yep new sub here love your attitude I'm a old lady now 73 years just the other day. I was a single P in the early 70s. You're a beautiful young woman Don't let nobody tell you nothing...I just listened to a teaching video when people disrespect you just walk off. And it's true. God wants us to let God deal out the vengeance. You take care of you. Took me about 65 years to figure that out. Guys that ditch their women and children suck...you can't change anybody.
Meek, I love you so much. I’ve been following you for a while, since you had around 6k subscribers I think😊 But I just want to let you know that I do appreciate you being real, and sharing things. I know how hard that can be. Buuut. Sweet meek, you don’t have to say so oftenly in your videos that «I do this don’t come for me», or «don’t judge me» or «I know people are gonna say… (insert here)», or whatever. Please don’t get me wrong. As a viewer it gets kinda tiring to listen to. I love you, but I simply can’t watch anymore now. This may ofc just be me. Much love and hugs to you❤ (sorry for my english)
Yes you are correct I do, because I constantly get comments , with people correcting me as if I’m the only person in the world who go through things. I know that is not the case. People act as if whatever I’m experiencing in my life that I seem as if there’s not others that can relate. That’s something that I have to get use to . I’m still getting use to creating for the world to see so I’m learning. If you don’t want to stick around that’s fine. You take care love
I’m so exhausted with having to hear “ you should’ve chosen wiser” or “did you not ask questions “ like Linda , this guy did not show me his true colors till I was pregnant, and I asked questions clearly I did not get the truth!
❤ to you Meek. God intended children to he raised by a mom and dad, they do better with both. Keep going! You just keep going. You show so much love to your son. Keep him in school! Promote college for him so he can have it better
Meek, I totally understand how overwhelming it can be. I'm sorry you have to do double duty. It does not matter that you decided to partner who you did not know would not uphold their end of the deal/responsibility. I wonder if you can maybe take a day for yourself each week, at least where you do something for yourself, even if that means a walk in the park with a hot cup of coffee or tea. A reset day where your son is tasked with practicing being independent. Perhaps you can play a game where he is responsible for preparing dinner- of course, something simple. This way, you do not feel beat down and overwhelmed! I don't know, these are just some suggestions. Sometimes, children having chores helps to lighten the load. Not overwhelming chores because their priority should not be adult responsibilities but something simple that helps, like folding the clothes, dishes, and bathroom duty.
Its not right for no man to leave out on his family but what was it like before. How did he treat you before the kids?? What was his famiky like?? Its just seems like females be in situationships by themselves having kids by themselves baby showers by themselves delivering the baby by themselves
Even two parents shouldn't be doing it alone. A whole community should be involved so just not one or two people are. Maybe a hundred or so years from now that will happen, that is if the human species isn't extinct before then.
Meek I wish I could give you a big hug. I s am not a mother, but I've known enough single parents in my life to simply not understand how you could choose not to be in your child's life. It just doesn't make sense to me.❤
Don’t ever minimize your own situation. I have always held a belief that when something pops into our heads it’s there for a purpose. And for those that suggest “we should have known” Don’t believe in God We aren’t mind readers that’s Gods job. Yep that alone feeling sucks
I rise my son all by myself and he now 28 living abroad. I was curious does your son have any friends with male is there life? I always said you cannot do everything since he is a boy and needs a man model in his life. I was blessed to always find a good male model through his friends and the theirs father always made sure my son wasn’t left out. I feel for you and ask God to put some in his life . I always say it is different when you have girls, but we can’t be a mom and dad.
“You shoulda chosen wiser” is so unhelpful, the kid is already here lol. And anyway, some people are like Trojan horses, you never really know them.
Right, and it's so dismissive.

Just had a conversation with a friend who is struggling with her partner and was reminded it is so not worth it to be in a bad relationship.
absolutely 💔

It is hard Meek you are doing great job. Glad you are talking about the negative flack poor single mom’s get.
Yep new sub here love your attitude I'm a old lady now 73 years just the other day. I was a single P in the early 70s.

Situations like this happens even with married couples to 😞 Sometimes you don’t know these type of people act like this until children start coming ❣️
Meek, I love you so much. I’ve been following you for a while, since you had around 6k subscribers I think😊 But I just want to let you know that I do appreciate you being real, and sharing things. I know how hard that can be.
Buuut. Sweet meek, you don’t have to say so oftenly in your videos that «I do this don’t come for me», or «don’t judge me» or «I know people are gonna say… (insert here)», or whatever.
Please don’t get me wrong. As a viewer it gets kinda tiring to listen to. I love you, but I simply can’t watch anymore now. This may ofc just be me. Much love and hugs to you❤ (sorry for my english)

Really enjoy this video. I’m glad I was able to come back.❤❤
I'm so glad! Thanks love 💕
You are just an amazing human being
Awww thank you so much love , you are too 🫶🏾
You are amazing my friend
I understand being tired
I’m so exhausted with having to hear “ you should’ve chosen wiser” or “did you not ask questions “ like Linda , this guy did not show me his true colors till I was pregnant, and I asked questions clearly I did not get the truth!
❤ to you Meek. God intended children to he raised by a mom and dad, they do better with both. Keep going! You just keep going. You show so much love to your son. Keep him in school! Promote college for him so he can have it better
First of all you are so Pretty! and yes I agree this is why I'm not having any more kids two and done for me. I don't see how ppl do it.
Aww Thank you girl! Yes I feel you about that okay 😅
Meek, I totally understand how overwhelming it can be. I'm sorry you have to do double duty.

They change after you have the baby! That's what happened to me.
Even two parents shouldn't be doing it alone. A whole community should be involved so just not one or two people are. Maybe a hundred or so years from now that will happen, that is if the human species isn't extinct before then.
I said that in the video also

Maybe you said it differently?
Meek I wish I could give you a big hug. I s am not a mother, but I've known enough single parents in my life to simply not understand how you could choose not to be in your child's life. It just doesn't make sense to me.❤
💯
Don’t ever minimize your own situation.
I have always held a belief that when something pops into our heads it’s there for a purpose.
And for those that suggest “we should have known”
Don’t believe in God
We aren’t mind readers that’s Gods job.
Yep that alone feeling sucks
I hope things are much better. The idle mind.
I'm 1st YAY 😁😊❤
Way to go!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Meek will watch after dinner
Love where your sitting ❤
I rise my son all by myself and he now 28 living abroad. I was curious does your son have any friends with male is there life?
