I know of many kids with both parents in the home and its not always what it seems... I also know some wonderful together parents and that is magical, but I could never say that GOOD single mothers/fathers are not worthy or good enough, cos thats just bollocks..... I do just sometimes wonder what me lads would of been like if they also have a loving father figure about the place, a LOVING caring figure besides me.... I think they would still be the people they.... maybe just enhanced with more rough and tumbles lol there is only so much sword fighting and cowboys and indians and wrestling this old lady can do......<BR/><BR/>I love your post....... the main thing I concentrated on when I found meself on that single parent pile was to make sure me lads just didnt become statisics of 'divorced parents' cos when things go wrong there is that famous saying 'oh they are from a broken home' WELL there aint nuffin broken about this home.... but I do see many mums/dads who are raising their kids alone, such sitting back and letting their kids become statisics and they themselves saying 'well what do ya expect with no father around' I to think thats bollocks.... and with 4 lads to raise completely on me own that could of been the easy option... but then life aint suppose to be easy and Ive NEVER taken the easy route......<BR/><BR/>ok waffling here lol...<BR/><BR/>xMarmiteToastyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536695634856882487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5290266778875773934.post-53000455689986877762008-04-01T16:05:00.000-07:002008-04-01T16:05:00.000-07:00Knowing both young men ... not bad at all.Knowing both young men ... not bad at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5290266778875773934.post-39239722082644106182008-04-01T08:52:00.000-07:002008-04-01T08:52:00.000-07:00Thank you, Marmite!

The boys were in day care and all day long we were having very rare tiny tornadoes touching down. The kids were all huge eyes and blabbering like crazy - and they said that we had a "tomato" warning! I just burst out laughing thinking about these boys visualizing tomatoes falling from the sky.
