Smashing single parenthood: writing prompt

What’s a moment that made you realize you were stronger than you thought?

Spiders in the bathroom!

“Arghhhh Mum….help me! Muuuuum!

I think this scenario epitomes single mum life. You have to fix everything!

And, when terrified toddlers are relying on you to ride in to save them, what option do you have but to put aside your previous arachnophobia traumas, pick up a cup and paper and calm remove the 8-legged beasties.

Mind you, I must confess to almost falling for the ‘spider vacuum’ devices advertised on Amazon ! But to date it’s still an ‘almost’…. c”mon single mum, you can do this!!
