who are the most important people in your life you turn to when your child gets sick or when you want to talk about the silly things that happen in your home?
who do you share the fun, of taking care of this child by yourself, with?
or the worries?

My mom, best friend & sister are my rocks when I need someone to talk to.
I envy that you can communicate with your ex Devon. My ex is a wonderful father but we still do not get along after 4 years apart & only communicate via email or text.. A bit sad, really.

.. i've raised my son completely solo ... and have loved each and every minute of it ... He's married now and grown into an amazing young man .. i couldn't be prouder ... I think strength to manage solo, comes from within ... and the desire to be the very best you can be for your child ...

it's not so easy to comunicate with other persons, even if you speak the same language.
and then your feelings become a sort of message, strange being the human, they can bear a bottle with message inside a sort of sos written and hiden.................till to the moment that an angel will find out it.................our message in a bottle

I just talk too the kid! Yes we have always talked openly like adults do!
Although I give the kid a little bit more respect than I do most adults,
As she will be the one that chooses my retirement home, if I live that long?

I am very lucky in that, my ex and I get along very well and we both take active parts in the kids lives. By design, we live only a mile and a half apart so the kids can maintain their neigborhood peer groups and ride their bikes from house to house if they so desire. We share 50/50 custody but assist each other in getting the kids to/from their activities even on our 'off' weeks. When I have the kids, she watches my daughter after school until I get off work and pick her up. My son could very easily do this (and does on the rare occasion) but we feel he needs to be a kid himself and should no be burdaned with too much 'adut' responibility. I have the luxery of being able to take more time off from work than she does, so when one of the kids are sick and must stay home from school, typically they come to my house, even if it's on her time.
I may not have made a good choice for a life partner - but I ended up with a good freind, and a [great mother/u] for my children.

I was a single parent for 20 years. I went to single parents meetings in town. And I was lucky enough to have a loving supporting family. I also thought to myself after My kids grew up and left. Wow, now I can be a bit of a kid myself. A wiser kid, But a kid none the less.who are the most important people in your life you turn to when your child gets sick or when you want to talk about the silly things that happen in your home?

I have done the same with my son now 7 . He,s ADHD and requires much patience. Just yesterday he spilled milk on my keyboard,redesigned my farmtown,broke the antenna off a boom box,and knocked out a cieling light with a basket ball. Then wrapped his arms around me and said thanks for being so understanding with me. I was at the end of my wits, and worn to a frazzle but u got to love them . OMG did i sleep good !!!!

If it was my child getting sick, I usually called the family doctor first..
