I am a mom to a wonderful 8 year old girl and 14 month old boy. Split from my daughter's father about 5 1/2 years ago, but we get along generally well. Actually I think we get along better now then when we were together.
I've been with my son's dad for about 6 years now. He has a 12 year old daughter. Our son was an oopsie. Well actually, all the kids were, but I wouldn't trade any of them for the world. He is a wonderful partner. It is so unlike any other relationship I've ever been in. But as with any relationship, is a work in progress.
I am a working mom. I pull just over 40 hrs a week in. I have given up trying to 'balance', and am learning to just 'do it'.
