The Week the Women Went

The Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) is airing a reality show called "The Week the Women Went." The series is meant to show what happens when all women from a small, rural community in Alberta leave the town. How will men take care of their families and homes? Since I cannot watch the show in the USA, I am left to wonder what "spin" the show will take. Will it try to represent that men cannot take care of things without women? Or will it try to turn things the other way, showing that men are just as capable of being single parents as women are? Personally, I know that men are just as capable as women in this respect. I am doing this right know, with two young children and a bunch of pets, a full-time job, and a few volunteer activities to add to the mix. Whether you are a woman or a man, being a single parent is not easy; anyone that has done it can tell you that. You do need to get yourself very organized, make sure you take two extra tablets of patience every morning, and most definitely keep your heart filled with love: for yourself, most of all, for your kids, and for everyone around you. That is my formula for success as a single parent and head of household.
