As I am a single mom for an 8 years old girl, let me tell you it is really difficult, I work in a hotel appearently this is the worse working hours as I start @ 8:30 am and finish by 6 pm so I hardly see her for two hours in the evening before she sleeps to get to school next day.
Having a maide helps in at least ensuring she gets her hot lunch, and shower after school till I return and we study, but it never replaces the mom role and shouldn't anyhow so don't expect or accept more. Maid role is just to heat the food and ensure the safety during playing no more.
Started to look already for another job as it is affecting her grades badly and I do regret joining and moving to Doha because of that Job. I love the city here so much, we both do, but it is not as easy to live as single mom here. , so God bless single parents, tough job but worth the joy :)
