                   For Moms:

                   Women: 85% of single parents with kids under 18 are mothers.
                   Biggest challenges:

                       •  Supporting your family – may have to work longer, more jobs to
                          make ends meet

                       •  Less time with your kids and kids may be left alone more than
                          before
                       •  Kids may have less money than they were used to having

                       •  Too much to do – you’re responsible for everything, getting kids
                          ready for school, meals, baths, homework, cleaning, etc.

                       •  Being tired – physically and emotionally exhausted
                       •  Tend to yell more at their kids

                       •  Can feel burnout and depression as a single parent – find some
                          support
