Judged for being a single mum?

I would be greatly offended.

I haven't come across that yet, but I know it's only a matter of time. You see I live in a small town, my baby girl was concieved from a one night stand with an old school friend done in rebound of my freshly ended relationship last year. We're still on good terms but the fact that I wasn't even in a relationship with the father at the time has most likely condemned me in many's eyes. Yet I was the one who made the decision to not involve him any further, with myself to raise her I can guarantee that she grows up well and confident in her abilities and the love around her.

I'm a firm believer in it not being important how things came to be, just how they end up and I wouldn't trade my Baby Luv for the world. Guilt tugs at me that I didn't think things through a bit more and plan a better situation prior but all that planning would have left me without her and that's something I couldn't bear. She's my saving grace.

I think it's really all perspective. Those that know me know that I will not tolerate disrespect so any who have negative opinions just walk on eggshells around me, hence why I haven't yet been in that predicament but when that day comes I'm confident enough to know that in all truths those people mean nothing, absolutely nothing and my baby means everything. Besides if they were brave enough to look in the mirror and honestly judge themselves and all they conceal they couldn't even raise an eyebrow to my decisions.

Sticks and stones my friend, sticks and stones...


I do bundle her up but minutes later this results...LOL
