Im 20 yrs old with a 1 yr old boy and a 5 yr old girl I find it hard to not want to be with somebody. It's not always wanting a man in my home, its also just company I wish I had. It's just my kids. I wish I had company my own age, the day to day struggles I have, I don't always the support I need to vent or have people for suggestions on what to do or how to handle the children with just being a single parent. I don't know other mothers, I feel like I'm in it alone sometimes...

Hi,

First your not alone...I know no one knows what you go thru unless their sinle parents...it takes a lot of patience and love for children...I have been a sinle parent of 4 daughters ages 7, 10, 12, and 14...trust me they have tested me and yet they fill my heart with love...if you need to vent or advise send me a message to arnold.huerta at gmail.com

Hi, Alicia

I am single mother of child recently turned 4yrs. old. I know sometimes  parent situation could be very exhausted.

Kumon classes  2x a week and swim classes on weekends..Whenever, I have day off spent trying cook,clean, laundry and grocery shopping...I do not have any immediate family in area & I am so happy that my child normally goes bed by either 7:30pm or by 8pm my quiet time...

HI,

I'm new to being a single mom and alone so I get the company thing. Sometimes you just want somebody to hang out with. My son is 7 and between everything else going on it seems like I have a lot on my shoulders too. But you're not a lone. It seems like there are a lot of us out there and we all know how sucky it can get. Please feel free to message me and I'll try to check it often. goings_kate@yahoo.com

I've been a single mom for going on 4 years now.  I have an 8 year old and 6 year old boys.  I am very fortunate that my sons are intelligent and (for the most part) good kids - but making sure they are involved in sports, school activities and play dates with friends is exhausting!  Last weekend, I had a birthday party for my 8 year old and no one to help me.  I did it all by myself and I would have loved to have someone to shoulder some of the responsibility.  Don't get me wrong, it was a great day but at the end, I was tired and every bone in my body hurt!  I couldn't afford an "outside" party like at a bowling alley or Chuckie Cheese, so we went old school LOL!  Last night, we had a school function till 9:00 p.m. so needless to say, I'm very tired today!  It's hard to keep going sometimes and I try not to be too hard on myself when I need "me" time.  Every other Saturday when they go to their dad's, I know I should be cleaning, shopping and laundry, but some days, I just close my eyes to the mess and collapse for a bit in front of the TV or with a good book!
