I'm a single mom of 3 children 2 Ds ages 4 & 10 and a DD age 5 mos. I have been single since i was 2 mos preg with my dd and of course no help from the fathers even emotional support! But its great with just my babies and i but sometimes i crave the feeling of being held. Will it ever go away? I work 7 days a week from 6:30 am to anywhere between 5-7 pm. by the time i get home from getting the kids from daycare its pretty much dinner,baths and bed. I have no time to even meet someone. my kids are with me when ever i'm not working. and we are building our home right now "almost finished" :) thank goodness! So when ever we are home we are working as well. Busy,Busy,Busy and I do not have someone to baby sit or watch my kids for me to have any ME time. Being a single mom is GREAT most days but sometimes it can get VERY lonely!! anyone going through this?
I'm a young, single, vaxing,pro-choice, spanking when needed, put off today what can be done tomorrow,co-sleeping,don't care what others think,bottle feeding,disposable diaper using, family comes first, make a fool of myself to make my kids laugh, country music lovin', coffee addicted MOM of 2 WONDERFUL BOYS
Yes Ma'am..I am a single mom of two.... Those desires to be held are normal and for me they come and go..some days I feel very vulnerable and some days I feel ok just like you said. Its almost liek you have to have a plan when you feel most lonely... My best bet is to do whatever I can to get kids in bed by 9 and then the rest of that time is for me (until I get tired)...I am a reader, so I keep books around to appeal to my every mood...however Im feeling at that moment...parenting alone is tough!
Wow, you work 7 days a week.....and I know this is because the fathers are not helping you....grrr...this frustrates me so much.
Speaking of sitters...I feel you...I am actually looking into find sitters in my area that can help me out. Maybe this would help you some also. There are so many good people out there who are available to help out, for a good rate. Im looking into it for me and my kids.
I am a soon-to-be divorced mama of 2, so I know what you're going through. I almost think it's worse bc I'm not working atm (health issues) and am never out of the house for any real length of time. If I were you, I'd at least take the guys to CSE for child support so you can have financial support. Men who don't do anything to help take care of their kids really piss me off. I don't understand it. Anyway, I am a reader also so I have books around and movies. On those lonely nights, I just watch a movie and hope the feeling passes quickly. I hope things get better for you!
My handsome Steven Blake!
