if you are a single parent

How often do you go out without your lo? And who watches lo? Where do you go and do you date? Do you introduce your child to dates and when is the right time?

My son is three and I have only had one night without him and other then that my mom watches him while I am at school or work and that is my only time by myself. Sometimes my mom will take him during the day for a few hours but most of the days I don't work my friends do so i would clean the house.

Sounds like me. So I take it you don't date at all?

What do you do for fun?

Lol homework, my son his finally at an age that he can go to the movies so we have movie days or go out with friends that are stay at home moms and have playdates

Do you get lonely or crave at least a male conversation? Kwim

Yea that is how I ended up back with an ex a little bit ago and got pregnant we where together for five months and now I am going to be a single mom of two I really should have just stayed single lol but oh well I love this little guy just wish things could have been different before I had a second.

Yea that sucks   I'm sorry. Well everything happens for a reason. Thanks for sharing

Never introduced anyone to the kids, but yeah, I do date. I'm weird about who's around the kids so I refuse to do so until I feel comfortable.
Depends on the week, but I can go out a few times a week. Their dad and I have joint custody and we pretty much split the time with the kids (he gets them a little more than I do, though, since he's not going to be around next year due to deployment and such). But over the spring/summer/up to October, he had the kids majority of the time..I had them a couple times a week (due to work schedules). It works out for us.

i never have time to o out or anything. i have my kids 24/7 and yes it gets lonely sometimes but its the life i chose. it still would ne nice to even get an hour to myself here and there

Since I moved back home and in with my sister I have been able to go out without my daughter. I started seeing this guy about 3weeks ago and my sister watches my daughter so I can go out with him. I usually don't leave until its closer to bed time. I enjoy spending time with this guy and I'm not ready to introduce my daughter to him because we are still getting to know each other. He is cool with holding off on it because I explained why. He does know that when I'm comfortable with it I will let them meet. I also told him on our first date that yes I'm a single mom but I'm not looking for a father for my child, that she has one and doesn't need another guy in her life.

Thanks ladies

I work M-F 8-6:30. LO is in daycare from 8-4. My parents pick him up from daycare and watch him . He only sees his father one day sunday night to monday night. I never really get a break , when I do its my parents all the time because I live with them. BD's parents never offer to watch LO or if I ask it wont be for more than 1-2 hours. I try to go out every 2 weeks at for one night. Otherwise I feel I'll go crazy if I dont get "me time" . Its tough and I feel like my parents do sooo much to help while BD lives his life.
