Hi, This is my fist blog post, I'm not sure how this works, but I'll give it a try according to the responses I get will determine if I keep going, The post will get better over time I'm practicing my skills to write a book. I am very passionate about the subjects I'm writing about. And these are my opinions, my truth.
"Single mom stereotypes, (especially if you have three or more children, and of your are Black), ".
"SHE'S A HOE" -
Not everyone who is a single mother is a hoe, please start labeling some of these mutha fuckin men running around making babies with multiple women, and not taking care of them. I had sex, unprotected sex, with a man. But I participate in one relationship at a time and try to make that work, when that relationship is finished then I will proceed to the next one. I don't have any STD's or spend my time sleeping around. I do like to have sex and that is my prerogative as a woman!!!
"SHE'S HAVING BABIES TO REMAIN ON ASSISTANCE OR FOR CHILD SUPPORT"-
First and foremost... any government assistance is not sufficient enough for someone to raise a family, especially a large one. In most cases; unless a man makes alot of money or is a basketball player or a rapper I can guarantee that most women are not gold digging by having babies to receive child support. I know women who receive twenty dollars a month for a child and I also know some who receive less than that or nothing for some children. AND I AM ONE OF THEM. What I will say is that there are some ratchets, (men and women included), who will scam misuse the system, may be crooks, drug addicts or alcoholics, people also looking for a quick come up or more. Someone also may have nothing and is desperate as well . I know what the fuck I'm talking about because I have been in all thees categories at one time or another. Additionally, lots of single mothers, BLACK ones, on this country work to support their kids. Some work multiple jobs, own small businesses and hustle to make money to support them and theirs. Women also go back to school to get better employment and business opportunities to better their families and self.. OH kayy?!
"SHE CANT KEEP A MAN"-
In my situation most of them were not worth keeping or tying to at least. Obviously these women don't have a problem attracting men, or they wouldn't be getting pregnant, duh!!! Oh, and I didn't have to do a damn thing for a deadbeat father (or mother ) to abandon their child!! If a mutha fucka doesn't want to stick around and take care of their children they wont. Simple as that. And women need to watch what they say about other women. Some of these single mothers, (myself included) , are being looked at and hollered at by men most who are in relationships and have women at home.
"SHE WILL TRY TO SLEEP WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND OR HUSBAND"-
Just because I am a single mother does not make me desperate. I don't want to be dealing with anybody's "MAN"/problem. If I want a man I can go get one with no problem, IF ANYTHING MARRIED MEN and men in relationships; need to stop trying to sleep with single mothers. I am OK with being single right now because the last man I had WAS FUCCCKKED UP!!!And treated me badly. I am not jealous of you because you have a relationship.
"SHE MUST BE STUPID,WHY DID SHE HAVE ALL THOSE KIDS?"-
I had all my kids because I had sex and I decided to have my kids because that's WHAT THE FUCK I WANTED TO do!!!Things aren't perfect, I love my kids, and we struggle. But this is my life and they are my children. Most single mothers raise their kids successfully regardless if their fathers are involved or not. I've been to college, I can have a intellectual conversation, use critical thinking skills, read write and some mo shit! We are not stupid for being single mothers, the ignorant person who is the dummy judging and criticizing a situation they have never been in is.
THATS ALL FOR NOW.
