Actress Selma Blair, age 43, doesn’t mind that she had a child in her late thirties or that she’s a single mom. In fact, she’s grateful for the experience. According to Blair, her son Arthur has a touch of her sarcastic wit. At first, she laughed at his antics but now she has taken a more disciplined approach. Blair claims to love the single parenting experience. She relishes the early morning games of Candy Land and the abundance of one-on-one time she spends with her son.

Key Takeaways:

• He gets it. He gives me lots of hugs and kisses and tells me he hopes I live a long time, even though I’m old. That’s his new thing to say before bed. We say our prayers, and then he says, ‘I hope Mommy lives a long time, even though she’s so old.’”
• Being a single mom, at first it’s a very challenging thing,” she added. “But to have that much time with him, just the two of us, has been an incredible life-changing experience. And I do not take it lightly — my gratitude.”
• As to Selma’s other point, about having lived a whole life before becoming a parent, all I can say is that I’m on the opposite schedule. Our first son was born when I was 23, and had just barely left college.

““Being a single mom, at first it’s a very challenging thing,” she added. “But to have that much time with him, just the two of us, has been an incredible life-changing experience. And I do not take it lightly — my gratitude.””
