Mother's Day Thoughts From Single Moms Around the Net
Saturday May 10, 2008
For Mother's Day, I though it would be fun to share a "round-up" of thoughts on how to handle this particular holiday as a single mom.
Rebecca Eckler, who writes for www.globeandmail.com, wrote an interesting article titled Get What You Want This Mother's Day. Twist the Ex's Arm. If you can get beyond the idea of Eckler posing as her child to ask her ex for Mother's Day gift money, you'll read several encouraging stories about single moms whose perspective on Mother's Day has made it one of the most joyful times of the year.
Rachel Sarah, who writes www.singlemomseeking.com, shares memories of her first-ever Mother's Day as a single mom, and invites readers to share their own plans for Mother's Day in the post Single Moms: How are You Celebrating This Mother's Day?
Catie Hayes, who writes for www.singlerose.com, has some great suggestions for honoring Mother's Day, as well, such as enlisting the help of a friend or arranging for a gift swap with other families, in her article A Single Mom's Mother's Day Survival Kit.
How about you? What is something that you're planning to do this year, or that you've done in the past, that has helped to make Mother's Day particularly special for you?

What a horrible article to recommend on your site. Ecker’s article is disgusting. To use your child as a vehicle to squeeze money out of your EX for your “entitled” Mother’s Day present. And then to spend the day at the Spa and not with your child. Nice mother.
I hear you - I don’t condone that, either! But I did like, farther down the article, where she interviewed some other moms and shared their perspective on Mother’s Day. In particular, I liked the one who said her kids’ hand-made Mother’s Day projects were “…like gold. When you know all you have is each other, it makes the day really special.” I thought that was a worthy reminder for any moms out there who feel discouraged by the whole “Hallmark Card” definition of the Mother’s Day.
