7 Insights from a Divorcee

1. People will always think you're a great mom, just because you're a single mom. This means we have the advantage and can yell as much as we want at our kids. No one will dare to judge me.
***not saying i would yell as much as i want at my own kids. just stating the facts


2. When talking to a fellow divorcee, no matter guy or girl or if you've only know them for 30 sec., the first questions will promptly be
----What happened?
----Who filed?
----Insert here any other very personal question relating to a divorce you would never tell a stranger.


3. Many good intention people will set up fellow divorcees just because they're divorced. Good thought, but just because 2 people are divorced doesn't mean they have anything else in common


4. The state of Arizona has an awful child support system


5. People will never ask you to watch their kids because they feel bad that you're a single mom. (that can be my only guess) But go ahead and dump your kids on anybody because they'll be happy to do it.


6. I don't care what people say, people on the online dating sites are weird.


7. It is difficult to fit in with the other "singles" when you've got "Wow, wow Wubzy" on the brain.

1. I think you are a great mom either way.
2. I got something similar when I was still single at 30. "Don't you WANT to get married?"
3. Agreed.
4. That's terrible.
5. I would be happy to have you watch my kids if you didn't live 600 miles away. :)
6. That is absolutely true!
7. I hate Wow Wow Wubzy! :)

1, 2 and 5 are equally applicable if you have triplets!

Courtney said...

BTW, you are a great mom!

Cute- I wonder what made you write this? Call me

Courtney, I could see those totally applying to you as well!! I would feel awful if I asked you to watch my kids. (although I'm sure to you it wouldn't be a big deal, especially since your patience is neverending) BTW, we miss you guys!

Silly Bon. You ARE a good mom, with or without a ring on your finger. You are so sweet and patient with your kids. Also, I'm wondering the same thing as Chantel...what happened?

Oops! This is Audrey, not Jacob. He must have used the computer last.

Bon said...

P.S. haha, nothing happened. It's just interesting the experiences you go through. Those all have happened on many, many occasions, so I just think it's funny.

Yah, so my little brother's getting a divorce, so I should TOTALLY hook you two up... Just kidding! Very insightful insights, I might add.
