Married Single Moms

I know there are many married women who carry the burden of their family and struggle with loneliness. Military wives are a great example, sometimes the men aren't available and it may not be any fault of their own.  Never the less parenting alone is a daunting task.  I love reading the Old Testament in the Bible, where the women gather to cook and do laundry together.  I wish we could get back to that.  Our lives are so busy with family and work that it is tough to get time with other mothers.  As a single mom I found the best way to accomplish this was to barter.  I had a friend who loved to organize and clean house, me, not so much.  However I loved to garden and she was less than thrilled with that kind of work.  So we traded and did projects together.  It was a great way to accomplish tasks and get "friend" time as well.  You are not alone.
