Is it me or is anyone
else tired of these reality shows? I mean it seems like everyone and their mama
has a reality show, and getting paid and rich off of acting like ill-mannered
fools on television. But I have yet to see a real reality show dealing with the
real issues and difficulties facing our communities and families. What am I
talking about? I am talking about the struggles and lives of the thousands and
thousands of single moms out here today taking care of their families. Where is
the reality show that follows a single mom working a minimum wage job, trying
to pay the bills, daycare and putting food on the table? Plus, going to school
trying to improve her life which in turn improving the lives of her child(ren).
Or showing how she handles a deadbeat dad that refuses to take responsibility
financially and emotionally with raising his child(ren). Single moms are the
ones who need a reality show that showcases their courage, strength, determination,
tenacity and sacrifices for their families. I guess being a single mom is not
as glamorous and noteworthy as making a sex tape or getting pregnant by a
famous rapper, actor or athlete.
I am just saying it
would be nice to see a reality show with women I could relate to with the same struggles,
fears and joys I have, and not women worrying about whose gossiping about them,
or who is sleeping with who or what party they wasn’t invited to. I believe
that networks like Lifetime, WEtv,
Oxygen, and other networks that cater towards women should really look into
creating a reality show that portrays single moms in a positive light and show
their stories of rising above adversity. I believe portraying single moms in
this light would encourage other single mothers in improving their lives, and
achieving their goals and dreams. What do you think; should there be a reality
show about single moms? Would you be on a reality show about single moms?
