Quality of life is subjective...what your daughter will remember and love from you is the time she spends and the closeness between you both. The material things she will love for the moment but the memories and closeness with you will be forever. Once she becomes a teen-ager her world will get larger and the less time she'll want to spend with you.
You'll always have a little guilt, it comes with being a single Mom and over compensating, I think. Relax a little, it'll work out.
Kandi, I just found your blog, I admire how you handle your busisness and the relationship you have with your mother. I'm old enough to be your mom. My advice to you about how to handle a career and have time with your child is. Continue to work toward those things that will make you and your daughters life better. Take every moment you can with her and continue to let her know how important she is to you, and that what you do is because of the love you have in your heart for her. God bless you.
I've luv Kandi since her days in Xscape and sometimes follow her on Atlanta Housewives. She not only has deep goddess beauty that makes you stare, but seems to be just as beautiful on the inside. Kandi is breathtakingly beautiful. Those penetrating seductive eyes make you feel like your the only person in the room, her sultry voice could calm the wildest beast and her smile could jump start your soul.
Hello Kandi! I want to say you are doing a good job with your daughter and she may not understand the sacrifices you are making to better ya'lls life. but i will pray that God will give her peace and understanding.
I am a single mother of 3 children. I work 2 jobs to support my children. I have given up so much in life so that I can be there for them. When I am not working, I make sure that that time is dedicated to them. I know your life is more hectic, but it is so important that you listen to what Riley is telling you. Spend as much time with her as possible now because you will miss this time when she is older.Do what you have to do to support her, but at the same time, set some time aside for her.
Kandi i dont have any kids yet * thank God* cause RIGHT NOW isnt really agood time for me to have kids. But the obly think i can think of with ur deal is try to include ur child in everything that u do, and set aisde special dayz aside to spend with her and when u do it be very creative & sentimental. WHen ever am dating some and am super buzzy i just do things creatively,like voice mail, a video, letter a supprise outting, get something that would mean a lott i think of different ways!
I think working for a living is one of our single most under rated privileges, it demonstrates to our children the commitment you must make to secure the lifestyle they have become accustom.
Your child loves you, Miss Kandi and your time together is meaningful to your child. And guess what? Married moms go through the same thing, at least I do with my boys. The quality of your times together is important. Don't feel guilty for being what God called you to be, a mother. Kids can be selfish at times too. They want what they want when they want it. Keep talking with her and keep praying. You're a good mother. Don't ever doubt that. The devil is a liar ALWAYS!
With it being so many single moms in the world I am sure we all feel guilty at times from not spending as much time with our children as we want and as they desire! But as they get older they will understand that everything we did was only to make their lives better! I actually go to meet Kandi on tour when she came to my town and she had her daughter with her and it was so sweet! So to all of my single moms just kno that we are all blessed and good things are coming our way!
the reason the enemy is getting at you. the enemy knows you have a calling your life. heard this when you were young. there is greatneess whitin you cause my god you stanout on this show from the time you appeared on the monique show the lord spoked to me...
WOW, Isnt the internet such a powerful tool of our times, it allows us to try to resolve our intermost feelings with world almost instantaneously. I admire ur courage and honesty KANDI, it makes "regular people" like my self realize that we are not alone, and people in "publics eye" like youself deal wit the same emotional issues everyday! KUDOS TO U KANDI UR REAL... u will gain a great deal of respect frm that alone!
Hey gurl cry if you want too! its okay just find time too do extra things with your daughter. it will be okay because Riley has a strong mother and a very strong grandmother. Gurl i love the advice and hugs your mother give on the show. When you feel down just go to her and get one of those big mother hugs and you and Riley will be alright even without her father. Do not allow him too come into Riley life for the wrong reasons. Keep that part private.
AWWWW KANDI .... God bless you honey i wish you all the success that god can possibly give you.... You are a true artist your beautiful and i love the way you carry yourself as a woman..... Its tough I know I am a single mom with two boys and a lot of single parents struggle with the balancing of a career and quality time with your children... but there is an answer, ask god i believe he can give you the best one. God bless
Being a single mom is hard sometimes but one thing i can say is that as long as you are doing things that are in the best interest of your daughter she will grow to understand why mommy has to work alot and appreciate what you do and she will be proud of the sacrifies you made for her to have a good life. So hold on and be strong and when possible allow her to go with you sometime. For you to post this blog about your daughter shows alot about what a great mom you are.

I bet u r try n 2 do it all yourself with no help .Girl contact me . I got u !
Just keep loving her Kandi. There will probably never come a time where she completely understands all that you do for your family, but as she gets older she will have a better appreciation and a deeper respect for your sacrifices. In the meantime, just keep loving her...Antoine
The beauty of it is she'll learn to have a strong work ethic from you. The catch 22 is the independence she's develop from you; it will help her out in the world but might hinder your relationship.
I guess the balance is; can she grow up to understand that you did what you had to do without resenting you for it?
I deal with that now, my daughter brings this to me often.
I tell my daughter, I am here with you when I am not working.... and in so many words that is not enough... they want to go to the movies, go to the mall, go do other activities.... not just sit at home with her.... that is what I got from my daughter
So any days that you are not working.... even if you are tired, try to spend some of those days with her....
Hey Kandi congratulations on your new blog, you are indeed a beautiful woman, inside and out. Keep your head up and just pray and things will work itself out..
I know you truly love your daughter and you only want to do whats best for her..She will understand just stay strong..KKN (lol)
Hey Kandi, I absolutely love you . You have one of the best attitudes and caring personality anyone could have. It's ok to shed tears from the love you have from your daughter. I applaud you for carrying the role of a mother and father which is not easy. My mother with the help of my grandmother and aunts raised me without a father and I appreciate them so much . So stay strong and beautiful as always . She will get it.
Kandi you truly have such a beautiful spirit your daughter is one lucky little girl even if she's feeling down about your busy career right now. I know you will figure it out and things will improve with your daughter.
Let me start off by saying, thank you for being normal, and down to earth..lol..with that said i've always loved your music and you are very beautiful, strong and talented..ok..Now as far as you, and your baby is concerned, the key is balance. Some kids take less time then others, some kids are more verbal then physical.. Don't over work yourself trying to get paid, because you will not be able to by your daughters youth back. talk more, explain in more detail, and I think things will workout.ok
You've been doin it this long by yourself, FUCK RUSSELL AND THE DICK HE RODE IN ON!!! Keep doin u beautiful (excuse the language)
