Good on you for having the courage to say it at it is! You inspire other Single Mums and different families to have their say and feel confident doing it! x I think people sit there and nod their head but don’t necessarily put their hand up for fear of being judged.

Take it as read Sunday April 17th). He has obviously never experienced, (as I have recently), the gut wrenching conversation of a 3 year old saying "I want to live with you Mummy, but I want to be part of a family too". Hearing my son tell me he thought he was not part of a family because it is not the set up they see in books at daycare and kindergarten and is different in structure to their friends families, is one of the saddest experiences of my life. My son SHOULD be able to access story books that are relevant to him and depict his family dynamic - a family dynamic that happened through no fault of his, but rather a so called father who feels it's ok to create other families with other people at the same time, and wants very little, if anything to do with the children While we have children in different family set ups, there is EVERY need for books such as these to be available to children so that they no longer feel like they are not part of a family unit, no matter what the structure of it maybe. I for one will be purchasing the book "My Super Single Mum" so that my toddler boys grow up understanding that we are as much a family as the 'traditional' family and they should be proud of the family we are. Whether or not Mr Muehlenberg agrees with the differing family structures in today's society or not, they exist and the children are entitled to see their family unit depicted in books so they don't feel like my son did. kylie (This was not part of the article.. but I have my copy :) and when I read it to my 3 and 22 month old children, my 3 year old said "Mum that's just like us, but no Olliepop and I'm a boy. So YES there is a need for this book, my son saw a family like ours depicted and since we have been reading it he no longer talks about wanting to leave to have a family, instead he tells me "I love our family Mum". So thank you very much for a wonderful book that helps my sons see we are not different or any less a family than his friends) This is what I sent the HeraldSun regarding Mr Muehlenberg’s comment

]]> Comment on My Family children’s books now being distributed nationally! by 3CB http://www.bronnyandmuntsa.com/2010/10/14/my-super-single-mum-now-being-distributed-nationally/#comment-461 3CB Sun, 06 Feb 2011 18:46:58 +0000 http://www.bronnyandmuntsa.com/?p=286#comment-461 I just bought the pdf version of the book, I'm waiting on it to be cleared. I bumped into the preview via Google images and I loved it! I'm a single mum and I hope that's what my baby thinks when she sees me. I've put up the preview on my own blog, with links, so hopefully that gets more people to come over and buy the book. It's a scheduled post so it'll go live sometime on Wednesday I think. Thank you for making me smile today, and I hope the two dads book comes out soon. It said December 2010 but I don't see it on here. Please avail it on e-book as well, I'd love to buy one, and shipping takes a while. Keep writing, and keep smiling. I just bought the pdf version of the book, I’m waiting on it to be cleared.
