[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1483790, member: 17956"] I never gave much thought to the hardships, that a single parent might face. My wife has been staying with her mother in the hospital, for about 2 weeks now. Been busy around here. I actually question how many more days I could have held out, without deciding what had to go. Activities the kids have had: church, school, dance, gymnastics, archery, beta convention, academic team, photography class, STLP (don't even know what that is), open house at school, FPS (don't know what that is either), rodeo practice, and I've left some out. Not sure how many miles I logged, but it was a bunch. I probably worked 50-55 hours per week at my job, and took care of 150 head of livestock. The kids did great, and pulled even more load than they normally do. My mom came over a time or two during the day, and kept the laundry caught up. My dad did a little transporting the kids, if they had conflicting schedules. BOTTOM LINE: Somebody raising children by themselves has a big job. One of the biggest jobs, that there ever was. My hats off to anybody out there making it work. Another week or two, and we'd have had to decide what was important. [/QUOTE]
