Why Mafia Mom
The word "mafia" originated in Sicily, though its origins are uncertain.

I am always asked why 'Mafia Mom'? Because based on the origin of the word and it's meaning, you have to have brovado to raise boys on your own! I like the word because the sound of it just fits my life and my situation.
Now, you gotta have bravado to raise boys on your own (and now start a blog) and do it with swagger and make it work! For a woman to raise boys (only and more than one) on her own, is no easy task. They say mothers of boys lose 18 months off their life expectancy, so when you have more than one...... do the math, LOL!! My mission is to help mom of boys realise that our job is not to raise men, because we can't. Our job is to raise decent, well adjusted, loving and kind HUMAN BEINGS!! My mission is also to help single moms deal with the stress of doing it alone. In my journey so far I have met some awesome mafia moms, who gave me hope and motivation. And my wish is to help other moms like myself, you wouldn't believe how many of us there are, and hope that we can encourage each other and know that it will all work out OK. |
