A diary isn't a diary if you don't include the good and the bad. With that said, someone made a comment that if a woman is single with kids she is "baby mama" material but not wife material. My initial reaction was anger because I am a single mother of 3. Taking a step back, I realized although ignorant, this person was entitled to his opinion. I also realize that as women, we set the standard for the way we are treated. There are situations in life that don't go as planned and maybe your happily ever after won't be with the father of your child(ren). It takes a real man to step forward and care for someone else's children as though they're his own and it speaks volumes of his love for you. Don't settle for anything less than you deserve simply because you want a warm body next to you. Whether you're single, married, divorced, separated...whatever, love yourself first. If you love who you are, someone worthy of you is going to love you as you are.
