Single parents: We know you're insanely busy but we've got a little request for you: stop whatever you're doing and take a selfie with your kids.
Last month, HuffPost Divorce blogger Lindsey Light issued that bold call to action, asking fellow single parents to upload photos that showed the real side of raising kids on your own:
"Let's show everyone that there's more to the single parent than a sleep-deprived shell of a person wishing life had turned out so much differently. See, it all comes down to this: we're parents just the same. There's the laundry and dishes that are never-ending. We have days where the bickering just won't stop and we count down the hours until bedtime. Like married parents, we still send up prayers for our children's well-being and worry and plan for their future. And then there's the love. Even us single parents aren't deprived of the love."
We loved Light's empowering message and her selfie challenge so we asked single parents to upload their pics to Instagram using the hashtag #hpsingleparentselfies. Check out some of our favorites below and upload your own!
