Singular Sensation

Whoever made up that ridiculous saying about Life Being a Bowl of Cherries has never tried to make a profile page on Match.com with a seven year old looking over her shoulder.

Life is most definitely not a bowl of cherries for mothers, whether you fall in the single, separated, exasperated, grateful, or head over heels in love with your husband category. But it is especially challenging for single moms.

And dating is not just dating when there are children involved. It’s scrambling, panicking, obsessing, guilt-tripping and muffling phone conversations during carpool. Still it’s a lot of fun (most of the time) and yields many mini-SUVs full of hilarious stories if nothing else.

Misstropolis wants to dedicate this week before Mother’s Day to single moms everywhere. And in honor of all the hard work you do to keep everything together, we are opening up as much space as necessary for your stories.

This week, share your stories of dating as a single mom and we will publish them on the site. The mom who writes the best story will win a 15% discount card good for one year at Dress and runner up will win a Dress tote bag!  Tell it like it is single moms - and we will publish it!
