Single Professional Mother

Fun Dad vs. Meaniac

Single Professional Mother

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/15/12 My youngest has coined a made-up word for me, "Meaniac."  Whenever she doesn't get her way, I'm a Meaniac.  Okay.  I'll take it, it means I'm doing my job.  But like I've stated before, me and her father are separated and I am the custodial parent.  I have found for… Continue reading Fun Dad vs. Meaniac

When You’re Older

Role Models

Single Professional Mother

By:  Mia L. Hazlett 1/31/12 One question I've continuously asked my daughters is, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"  With my oldest, since she was about five, she has always replied, "A teacher."  Over the years she has become very exact about which grade she wants to teach and why.  She… Continue reading Role Models
