Survivor: Single Parent Edition – The Movie You Didn’t Know You Were Starring In

Opening Scene: Picture this: You’ve just woken up from what felt like a five-minute nap, your kid has turned the kitchen into a crime scene of cereal and spilled juice, and your to-do list is longer than your ex’s excuses.

You get the gist! Again, you don’t need to tell them to fuck off which is very tempting haha just be assertive

You got this
