HARD WORK FOR A SINGLE PARENT. (66)
Thank you so much! I wish all the single parents good luck! We are lucky to have our kids. And so long as we work hard, we will have a good life!

In response to: I've been a single mum now for 8yrs, it is hard work as all other singles will know.
They say a stay at home, is a full time job, but as most know, there is alot more to it. There is your work, which you have to do, the house, cooking, running kids to places of sport etc. And then there's the yard, an acre to be maintained. I love to be in the garden but i don't get the time, I get so frustrated sometimes. My kids father isn't the normal father who has them for half the school holidays, loves to spend valuable time with them. Has never offered me a penny for their schooling or anything they may need. I have always been the provider, financially and emotionally. Sometimes i feel it is so unfair. They love their dad, but would never want to live with him. You may think i'm having a winge , but it is reality, and as a single and lonely parent i have the right. I seriously don't have any time for a man, but would love it. There are sacrifices you make having kids.
Ok, who needs to say how they really feel.

I personally think that this day and age women have too many expectations, from life generally, from kids, and their fathers.
now I do understand you and your frustration, I'am a single mom too, plus i work full time job...i dnt hv acres of land or even a garden,lol,now i do have some flower pots...:)
there is so much negativity in what you wrote....i cant say anything judgmental towards you bcs I have made some bizar decisions regards my sons father in past years, but one thing I have changed in myself..I don't expect anything from him...nothing....
i cant be responsible for another grown ups decisions,choices or actions....
i know I have to stay alive and positive for myself and then for my kid and flower pots...
when you start not to expect anything from him,magic might happen...
regards financial aspect,ask, and not with anger,more as a stated fact....and also never feel guilty for your kids regards actions of their father...never...
last one,always but always find time for yourself..when your kids grow up, they will wanna here what fun did you had in life, in your personal life..and would be very sad for them to hear that you didnt....

As a single mother,I agree with the lady above.If you don't expect the ex to give you anything. YOu will feel much better. Try to give yourself a quiet and pleasant mind, then if you find some good chance in work or other guy even, it is better.
If your face looks like bitter gourd, no one will be interested, and this will block better opportunities.

I am in a better place now, kids have matured. I have a job I love. The kids father is more in their life now(because he left his woman). He used to terrorize me, which frightened the kids(when younger), so i put a order(domestic violence) on him. even to this day there are still things the kids won't confide in him about, cause they are scared of his actions, even though they love him. One thing, i couldn't live without my kids. they are doing real well at school, pretty proud of myself and my kids.
