In honor of Proud Single Mom Day we asked 10 single mothers (aka superheroes) about their lives as a single mother. Read their stories below:

1. Being most beautiful to mother

"The best to be a mother is to feel unconditional love. This is love that you can receive from no one else and no one else can feel. "" Says Judith. Fleur also experiences this: "" The unconditional love I feel for my kids! When people come to the world so depending on you and as they grow and get bigger step by step, with their hands in my hand that is wonderful! " See how hard they grow and develop '' and according to Danielle it is most beautiful to be a mother '' all the love you get, all the hugs that you can receive, all those smiles on his face and the honor to bear the name Mama. ''

2. Difficult to be single mother

"" I am very consciously single mother and, in my own words, can "go on the whole world." That is why it is sometimes difficult to admit that it might have been a bit easier with the two of them, "said Jamie. Judith indicates that single mom is "sometimes hectic, keeping all the balls high, making decisions. But I am not alone, I have a lot of lovely people around me. Or just adult conversations, raising together, forming a family.

"" ha-ha-ha dating?! I don't have time to date! But I regularly "date" with my friends, nice wines while the children play! " However, Judith indicates "you can definitely date, why not? It takes a while once in a while but when you're ready, I say do !! ". Single Mom Fleur says that she "probably will ever date again, but are not yet open to it. We are going to see what the future brings. My two boys are my great love! "" Evelien also states that "especially catching sleep is very important haha" "and" first enjoying being together with my little girl "" is more important according to Roxanne.

4. Life lesson to your children

Single Mom Roxanne wants to give her daughter "" Always Stay yourself, don't change for anyone. You are perfect the way you are "and" be faithful to yourself, "said Evelien. Fleur indicates "follow your heart, believe in yourself, be honest! Enjoy small things! You get what you radiate. "" Jamie thinks "" Life is much too much fun to sit at home and be unhappy. Go on a discovery, fall, get up again and then do it again! And whatever happens, wherever you go: I will always be there to return to. "" Danielle wants to tell her son that you must "respect people, animals and nature. Hard work. And what I certainly find: that he knows that he can be who he wants to be. And that he may become what he wants to be. "

5. Golden tip for other single moms

"" You are not perfect, you make mistakes, learn from it and continue. Don't figure yourself away, try to enjoy. If you are happy, your children will be. "" Says Judith. Evelien also gives as a golden tip to '' 'also think about yourself and charge yourself' 'and' 'Think of yourself, you can put yourself in the first place because if you are doing well, you are also a nicer mom for it Your children '' says Fleur. Roxanne indicates "" I also find it very difficult to do, but ask for help if you really don't pull it anymore. Nobody gets happier if you walk there like a zombie. Also not the little one. So if possible, ask for help. Or are you offered help always take it. Even if it is only for half an hour. Do you have time for yourself! ". Being a single mom is not always easy. "Is it disappointing? Drink a glass of wine, go to bed on time and tomorrow there will be a new day! "" Says Jamie.
