Hints for newby lone parent

[almostanangel]

am moving on saturday and will become lone parent any hints thankfully recieved

Be happy, enjoy and build on bond with your kid/s. Find time for yourself, take all family support offered. Good luck, there will be somes downs but I find the ups a million to one outweigh the downs

wishing you all the best almostanangel xxx - do you know anyone in your new area that you can meet up with for a chat?

Enjoy the little things as they will keep your spirits up when you get a little lonely.
e.g Taking up the whole bed, ultimate conrol over the tv, eating what you like when you like etc.

thank you ,,spursmum ,,i have brought a duvet cover it is white with pink sequins and i have brought two leather cushions to go on the bed x saw them and said ,,urrrrrrrrhhgh there not you ,,you know what actually they are!!i love being able to choose without asking someones opinion! only a few more days

milward ,,im only moving half a mile away ,but i have friends that stopped talking to me a while back because i left and went back to him ,now they are talking to me again

could you make some new friends - a playgroup or a playpark where you could chat with the mums there. Wishing you all the best xxx

thank you .xxx

My tip - is get yourself a routine - and be obsessional about keeping to it, downs always seem worse when you have also got behind on the housework! A small thing I know, but can make a real difference to get up knowing that everything around you you did!

Good luck - I don't know your storey I am afraid but hope it all works out for you.

thank you all .yes already doing the routine thing am keeping notes of what i need to pay and what i will have coming in etc. and already had big sort out before the move so will be very clean house hopefully ...am now getting exited ,yayyyyyyy ex is being complete arse! to us all

gingerbread ,,ok thank you

Do things for yourself as well as the kids. I was lucky cos my parents helped, so I had me time and stayed sane.

Also get out there and do stuff, without worrying about it. I was really wary of doing stuff on my own that I'd done with ex-h like days out but once I got on with it I found it easy. I am still very proud of myself for taking my kids abroad by myself
