No arguments that being a single Mum is tough and tiring, doing all the hard work by yourself, dealing with your kid's emotions and questions regarding the dad, and in some situations you handle the financial matters on your own.

Once you pull yourself together and get past the fear of being alone there is a bright side to it that people disregard most of the time!

1 - You become your baby's role model

When there is no dad around, your precious little baby grows around you most of the time, and you will get to see yourself in them, your mannerisms, your style & even the hand gestures, it is like raising a younger version of yourself only this time, you will get to do it better!

2 - You get stronger

The process of becoming a single Mummy is scary and you doubt yourself most of the time but that's only in the beginning, if you take it one step at a time, it helps you to mature and grow on your own because let's face it, if you don't woman up who will for your little baby?

3 - Your baby grows to be more independent

At a younger age, kids monitor everything you do, they keep it in the back of their minds, when they see you doing everything on your own they automatically start doing the same, and they grow to become more independent and strong.

4 - You learn to do things on your own

When you are a single parent, there is no one around to change the light bulb or help you around the house, this makes you explore your potential and figure out what you are capable of doing without requiring help from anyone!

5 - You manage to juggle work, home and your baby all together

Finding the thin line of perfection, juggling everything and everyone without forgetting your own social life is not an easy task but you find the positive aspect at some point, only then you feel like a super Mummy.

6 - You make all the decisions

No one to undermine your authority, you become both parents the pampering mum and the strict dad, the one who hugs and punishes at the same time with no authority what's so ever or anyone correcting your parenting style!

7 - You shine

Every card you receive, every school play your kid has a role in, every gift or every flower it is all for you, no one but you & all the accomplishments are not because his or her parents did a good job, it is because you did a good job!
