Either you are a single parent, or you know someone who is. Nearly a quarter of US children under the age of 18 live in a household with one parent. That’s a lot of families navigating this dynamic.
Although I have several single mothers in my life, I really haven’t sat down and talked with them in depth about what it’s actually like. So today, that’s what we’re doing.
This week I’m talking with one of my very best friends, Erin McNulty about:
- What you don’t know about being a single parent unless you are one.
- The hardest parts for her personally about being a single mom, but also her favorite things about raising her kids this way.
- The gifts she offers her children through the way she parents.
- How our communities need to change to be more accommodating for single parents.
- Ways we can better personally support our single parent friends.
About Erin:
Erin lives, writes, and loves on the Seacoast of New Hampshire with her two young children, surrounded by the most supportive of communities. She loves authentic connection and conversations about the juiciest parts of life. She is a creative writer and founder of Solono, a company that supports solopreneurs to spend more focused time doing what they love most in their business. Erin enjoys working on her forthcoming book of poetry, reading far too many books at the same time, hiking small mountains with her children, and taking frigid dips in the Atlantic Ocean.
