Single Moms United
Supporting Single Moms in Raising Sons
Can single moms really teach their sons how to become men? Today, we tackle this pressing question by exploring the pivotal role that strong, respectable male role models play in the lives of our growing boys. I'll share a poem that captures the emotional journey of our sons transitioning from boys to men, and discuss how these changes and challenges shape their futures. This heartfelt conversation aims to empower single moms to seek out the necessary support and guidance, reinforcing the idea that while moms may not teach their sons how to be men, they can provide a solid foundation and seek male mentorship that will.
Motherhood is a journey filled with a series of decisions—both good and bad. In today's episode, I open up about my own experiences, highlighting that every choice, right or wrong, offers valuable lessons. The key is to learn and grow from these decisions rather than dwelling on mistakes. It's all about encouraging single moms to keep pushing forward, continue learning, and supporting one another through this incredible, albeit challenging, journey of single motherhood.

It's not how you arrived at the title, but what you do with it.
Hey, ladies, it is a great day to have a great day. Hey, welcome to the Single Moms United podcast. If you are a single mom and you're looking for encouragement and motivation and thinking about your parenting skills, you've come to the right place. Yes, ma'am, you have come to the right place. Yes, I'm not an expert, but I have experience right. And if you have to listen to someone, you really want to listen to someone that has the experience, and not somebody that looks something up in the book and put their twist on it to make it sound good. But it's the folks that's gone through these scenarios. Those are the people you want to listen to because, guess what? They've already experienced it for themselves and they can tell you, hey, yeah, you're going down the right path. Or, oops, wait a minute. I went down that path and it didn't work out very well. All right. So if this is your first time listening to Single Moms United podcast, on Moms United Podcast, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. And if you are a repeat listener, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1:Now, again, I am on the path of poetry. I enjoy it and I love sharing it, and so today I want to talk about our sons, moms, how they're going to turn from yeah, they're our sons, but they're turning from boys to men, right, and we're going to have to watch that transition. And part of the difficult part of raising a son is if the father isn't present in their lives. Right, because, mom, we can't teach our sons how to be men. We can teach them about morals and values, but we can't teach them how to be men. And that's a struggle, right. What do you do? What do you say? How do you get that or give them, or get them that support that they need during this transition, right? And so, again, I'm not here to say, hey, do this, do that. But I am going to say, if you know a strong, respectable male in your life or in their life, right, life right. Please make sure you allow your son to spend some time with that person, because, ladies, we cannot teach our sons how to be men. We can't, we can't. So do me that favor, right, if you have a son or sons, you know, find them a nice, respectable male role model to help guide them through life, because they're going to go through things that we would never understand Ever Because we're not men. And so do me that favor. Find them a strong male role model and let the chips fall where they may. Okay. But again, as I mentioned before, I'm all about poetry and I did write a poem about our sons, and so I hope you will enjoy this and if you do, that's right.
Speaker 1:Tell another single mom. So hopefully it'll encourage her, motivate her as it relates to raising her son. All right. So here we go. To all our sons who are relaxed and just believes and having fun. Stress is not on the list and not even in their midst.
Speaker 1:Our sons concentrate on being the one who says when it comes to my mom, I refuse to negotiate. Yes, mom, they are our little men that we have learned to depend on. Just like our daughters, they too will soon mature. Their voices will change and sometimes sound strange, but it's our sons that remind us of how we have won. Yes, he too will have adjustments to his behavior. That will come later. He will always be our son before we see him as a man. It's his physical appearance that says respect me on demand. He too will try to push you to the limit, but it's natural. That's why we defend it. We should train our sons never to lift his hand towards any woman. Our sons should mimic strength and power and acknowledge they are no coward. Moms, appreciate your sons. He is now a man that comes second to none. One traits he wants her to imitate. They are no longer sons, but now are men, just like our daughters. We have to be patient during this transition of video games to working and meeting job timeframes meeting job time frames. We love both our sons and daughters and they both will experience similar emotional challenges. That requires balance. So, mom, we agree, it's important for both our sons and daughters to succeed. If your son's father isn't present, this is not the time to say he is irrelevant. He still needs a strong male figure in his life. This is how he will understand and navigate through pain and strife. Mom, our sons will always be our babies. Mom, our sons will always be our babies, but they too have days that makes us crazy. No-transcript. This is when all the fun begins.
Speaker 1:All right, ladies, I hope you enjoyed this episode of Single Moms United and Sons to Men poem. If you found value, share with another single mom. This is the tip of the iceberg of episodes that are out for Single Moms United podcast. So again, if this is your first time visiting. Hey, take a sample, or listen to a few other episodes and see if you find value there. There's episodes that's talking about finances, love relationships, love relationships, you name it education, all these things that are important as a single mom and how to navigate through some of these more critical issues that you're going to encounter.
Speaker 1:Again, this is not a one size fits all. It's a one size fits most, but it's designed to get you to think, get you to think, moms, yes, it's a difficult road, it's a challenging road, and once you think you put one fire out over there here comes another one over here, and then you put that one out. Then it's something else. So it takes a lot of strength and courage and I just want to remind you you can do it, you can do it. Yep, you sure can.
Speaker 1:How do I know? That's right, I did it, I did it and it wasn't easy. So I'm not even going to sugarcoat it. It's like, oh yeah, I breezed right through it, I made all the right decisions and I did everything correct. I'm not even going to lie to you like that. I've made bad decisions, I've made good decisions, but you learn from your decisions, right, and that's the key takeaway, moms. I told myself I thought it was the best decision at the time. I thought it was the best decision at the time and unfortunately it didn't turn out that way. So, ladies, don't beat yourself up so bad that you know, oh my God, I'm a terrible mom, uh-uh, no, it happens, it happens. So, what you do again, encourage yourself, it's the right decision at that time and then finally, you learn from it. You learn from it. All right, ladies, I'm done.
