Hello Beautiful Community 🌸 I'm glad to come back here to participate in this week's initiative. I've been a bit absent here because I'm working and it's a bit cumbersome to keep up with the platform. But as always, there are questions of the week that catch my attention and I can't let them pass. Total thanks to @merit.ahama for proposing them and inviting us to participate.

In the following, I will answer the questions as objectively as possible, but always giving my peculiar point of view.

About single mothers. You don't have to be a single mother to share your thoughts on this, as we all must have seen or been close to one, if not been one. They are mothers too, but how different? Do you have any advice for them to keep pushing?

I believe that a single mother is different from another mother because of the triple effort they put into raising and caring for their children when they love them unconditionally. Let me tell you an anecdote: When I was in college, I had several friends who were single mothers. They would go to school with their babies or toddlers by their side and still work very hard to get good grades. This was to be admired.

Many of them also worked, since most of them, after having their babies, were separated from their fathers. The vast majority of each of them were the breadwinners because they lived alone or at home with their parents. In fact, many of them lived about one, two or three hours away from the university and were on time for our classes. I really don't know if I would have been able to be a mother and study at the same time. But since a woman is the quintessential multi-tasking being (as well as a robot), I figure I might have made it by printing my effort my way.

I believe that these women who go through life alone and make the best of the worst of their situations have earned heaven for their dedication and effort. As mothers, we put our children above all else. Well, I'm talking about those who truly love their children and make sacrifices to get them through life. Especially when we do not have a close support system such as our children's father, our mother, our mother-in-law or a relative we trust; I say that we make a triple effort because motherhood is the most dedicated job in the whole world. Only a mother is capable of leaving behind her dreams to fulfill those of her children without regard. And not just any human being is capable of this gesture.

About bigggest lies! Some men believe women to love money more than they do, others believe something else... What is the biggest lie you've heard or seen men actually believe about women?

This topic is a bit controversial for me because I have always been independent. When I was in college I always tried to schedule my classes in either the morning or afternoon shifts so that I could work and be able to afford my needs and cravings. Although I work in this platform, currently the main breadwinner in our home is my husband Adrián ❤️ Clearly, he does not mind this action but I am a person who likes to be very independent in the economic issue and at the beginning it was very difficult for me to accept this very much.

It is also true that since ancient and colonial times, men have always found it difficult to recognize the good work or performance of a woman in a job or performing an action that only they believed they could do. I believe that women have shown what we are made of and that we are as qualified and capable as men to develop all kinds of activities and skills. It is sad that nowadays employers still see us as inferior and we do not get a job for being mothers or for wanting to be one in the future. Because in many job interviews this is one of the most shocking and intrusive questions they can ask.

Continuing with the topic of women, on the one hand I see many women empowered, fulfilling their dreams, creating their own businesses from scratch and becoming very successful. But also on the other side, I see women who still dream of getting a man with money to solve their life. The reality of this position has two sides and that is undeniable.

The man, due to the stigmas of society, has always had the task of fulfilling the expectations, whims and needs of the woman with whom he is paired. But I think this is a double-edged sword for both single and married women. Today, as women in our multiple facets (mothers, daughters, single or married) we have a wide spectrum of infinite options to get ahead and create our own mini or mega empire that will sustain us financially.

My mother always told me: "Study what you are passionate about so you don't depend on any man". And I always remember this because as a woman we must always be objective and dynamic. We can't just sit on our devices and watch life go by. If you are still waiting for a sign to move out of your comfort zone and security in order to achieve your dreams, then look at this post as one of them.

Thanks for taking a few minutes of your time and reading me 📖 See you another time! 😊❤️
