As most of us here know, parenting as a single parent can sometimes feel like a mountain to climb. But we're here and we're doing it!
Whether you recently became a solo parent or have been doing this for years, I want to hear from everyone - share your stories of triumph and hardship, how you keep yourself sane while flying solo and, if you've got them, tips to share with the group. Looking forward to hearing from all the amazing single parents here!
I'll go first! Being a parent has definitely had its challenges but I find joy in creating routines and sticking to them - it gives me some sense of control and helps my kids stay grounded, especially as their world felt so upside down when their other parent left. And I keep sane by taking "me time" whenever I can - whether that's an hour at the gym or a coffee catch up with a friend, it helps me feel like myself and keeps me going. Can't wait to hear your strategies!
