    3. Any thoughts?

      Do you ever have people act as if they feel sorry for you because you are a single parent? Personally, I do not feel that my life is all that different from many of my married friends. The hubby is frequently not at home, and the mom does the bulk of the family stuff. What's your experience?

    4. Single Mom question: How do you find time to take care of yourself?

      Good Evening- When DD was a baby, I could never count on any "me" time, because she always had to come first. Not complaining, I knew it would be like that before I chose the single parent route. Now that she's a bit older, things are more flexible, but I still tend to let things like taking can...

      What are your kids doing re: Valentine's Day at school? We went looking tonight and stuff was pretty picked over, plus St Patrick's Day and Easter stuff was already out. we found a few items 50% off at Joann's to make a small goodie bag. Hopefully they will turn out OK.

    7. Any plans for the weekend?

      I can cheerfully say we have nothing on our plate. DD has a violin lesson Saturday morning. Other than that I just have laundry and housework to do. It's supposed to be cold in this area, so that's fine with me.

      Good Morning- Daughter is back to school today after a 3 day weekend. How has the new year been treating everyone? We stay busy with school. riding lessons, and violin practice.

      Hi Lee! Thank you again for your encouraging words and advice on the parenting after 35 board. Two of the Moms of my dd's friends asked me this past week if I had a medical problem, because of my tummy. Pretty good to make it to 22/23 weeks before direct questions, eh? LOL These two...

      Not necessarily MY old family unit (whatever that was) but just....a good one. I'm SO tired of doing it alone. I was alone in my marriage, I'm alone now. I do have a LD relationship, he's trying, his house is for sale, but we know how long that takes. I know others have suffered (continue to...

    19. Where did the summer go???

      School starts back Monday. In some ways, I'm ready to get back to a schedule and in some ways, I'm sad. We had a shorter than normal summer this year because they are rearranging the school calendar to get out earlier. Normally they don't start back until around 8/24. My oldest had middle...
