i was raised by a single dad and it taught me not to ride a dirt bike with no helmet + how to make ribs in a rotisserie

My mom worked while going to college while still cooking healthy homemade meals and kept the house clean with no help from anyone (but child me trying to contribute to chores). One of the biggest things that taught me is that there’s no excuse for laziness

Crazy thing is guys will want a girl even if she isn’t being very useful ❤️‍🩹

that’s a bummer. I promise you not all single mothers move that way though. she was likely reacting to a pattern of having been undervalued by men herself

I remember reading an article on this group of women who go to a recreation center (or was it a retirement home?), and their husbands all just wait outside for them. They soon found a shed out back with a technician- and they all congregated and worked on bettering the place for their wives (making furniture, setting up events). It showed that men tend to need to feel useful in order to better accept love. This is a gross simplification but I think it gets the point across.
