Any tips on single parenting anybody? I am about to be a single mom of 2 girls ages 3 and 1.5?

Oh my, I am pretty much an expert on single parenting lol. I have twin almost 4 year old sons and an almost 5 month old son. It is not easy, but it's certainly not impossible. The main things: try to maintain a good relationship with the father, but DON'T hesitate to get child support. You need it for your children, and the father should have some responsibility. Make sure you take some time for yourself sometimes, whether the girls are with their father, or a family member. Just make sure you get a break sometimes. You will feel better, and trust me, your kids will appreciate it because you will be alot happier lol. Depending on your situation, there is financial help out there if you need it. I think alot of women are too proud to accept help, but just remind yourself that it is for your daughters, not you. Try to get into a good routine, it's hard cooking, cleaning, bathing, putting kids to bed all on your own, but if you get into a good routine it goes soooo much more smoothly. I always try to take my shower in the morning before my kids get up. That way I don't have to worry about the house being torn apart during those 15 minutes lol. Really, don't worry. It's certainly not an ideal situation, but it will be ok. The fact that you actually took the time to ask this question shows that you want to do your best to be a good parent, and really, that's the most important thing. I'm sorry for your situation, and good luck.Any tips on single parenting anybody? I am about to be a single mom of 2 girls ages 3 and 1.5?
keep the father's involved as much as you can and as much as they want to. They need a dad in their life.


I'm a step-mother of two children and one child's mother did her best to push my husband out of the child's life and he called 3 of her BF's daddy...Now he's confused about men who he calls dad and then walk out of his life, it's not right. Other than that, keep a good support system up with your family and the paternal family, you don't have to consider yourself a single parent, you are a parent who happens to not be with the children's father.Any tips on single parenting anybody?

it needs a lot of organisation. It has some good points actually...If the children grow up in a peaceful home without any fighting it is best for them than seeing abuse and fights everyday.But you have to be a very very patient mother. Never get angry with your kids in spite of becoming stressed, tired and angry....that is the key....have balance. You can enroll them to a daycare or have someone from your family to look after them 2-3 days a week so that you have some time for rest, good sleep, exercise and organising your daily life activities including cleaning, washing, cooking and shopping....you need to have good time management skills and good parenting skills. Then you will be fine
Get help from the dad and get child support, have friends help you if you need it/
