What Do I Look for in a Man? Someone Who Doesn’t Just Watch Me Carry It All.

November 10, 2026November 11, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

So, what do I look for in a man? Funny you should ask. At this stage of my life, I can tell you it’s a hell of a lot different from what I might have said in my 20s. I want a man who genuinely wants me to become the best version of myself. Not someone who tells me whatever bullshit I want to hear, but someone who has my back, challenges me, calls me out when necessary, and encourages me to grow. Even when I get frustrated, pissed off, and don’t particularly appreciate hearing it in the moment. I want a man who sees my potential, even on the days when I’m too exhausted to see it myself.

$300, Three Kids, and a Divorce I Never Wanted… But This Is What Happened Next.

October 30, 2026October 30, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

Five years ago, at 41, I was a very different woman. Not necessarily on the outside, although the pictures might suggest otherwise, but on the inside. I had spent nearly two decades married, 16 years as a stay-at-home mom, and somewhere along the way, I’d lost something I didn’t even realize was missing. My confidence. My voice. My belief in myself. And perhaps the saddest part? I had allowed someone else’s opinion of me to become my own inner dialogue.

Well, this was unexpected! I wasn’t looking for love, especially not in Cincinnati, but sometimes the best relationships happen when you least expect them. The curves, the chemistry, the unexpected thrills, and OMG, the way I was treated! Let’s just say the 513 did things to me that Toledo hasn’t in YEARS! And now? I can’t stop thinking about going back. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the beginning, because this love affair deserves a proper introduction.

I’ll be honest, I almost didn’t see Other Mommy. After reading the reviews and seeing all the negative feedback, I had absolutely ZERO intention of spending my hard-earned money on what critics were calling one of the worst horror movies of the year. But my daughter insisted, and thank GOD she did! Because after watching it, I actually have to agree with the critics on one thing: if you’re expecting a traditional horror movie, you’re probably going to be disappointed. But here’s where we part ways. I think this movie was placed in the WRONG category! Because if you look beyond the horror

Separation changes the family structure, but children still need dependable routines and supportive relationships with both parents. Clear co-parenting boundaries can reduce misunderstandings, keep adult conflict away from children, and make everyday decisions easier. They also give each parent room to build a separate household without losing sight of shared responsibilities.
