The hardest job in the world would have to be of a single mother. You don’t get paid for it. You can’t walk off the job. Sometimes you don’t even have any co-workers to assist you. Being a product of a single mother, I can see how difficult your life can be. When I look back, I don’t know how my mother did it. The thing is that it does not have to be hard. You are not alone. My mom had a lot of support from family on both sides.
For those of you that are seeking support and reside in the Montreal area, I invite you to discover the group, I Know I Can.The group was established by a single mother, Charlene McFarlane. With her leadership mentality, she found a way to showcase her skills within the community.
