Who are the single parents here?

[tammybear]

Was just wondering how many single parents there are on here, apologises for being nosey xx

essbee, I have a ds of 6 and a dd of 3!

Definitely single, have been ever since I was five months pregnant, and was left stranded at the top of a mountain in the pouring rain, lugging a broken suitcase around behind him carrying a rucksack and a brolly to keep himself dry.
Best decision I have ever made in my life even though i have to smile through gritted teeth on every occasion he visits.

I am single. Have been for 16 months & my little boy is 18 month now. Enjoy every minute being a single mum cause u can please yourself but there r times when it would be nice to have adult conversation once in a while so if anyone wants to chat on any subject send me a message

Hi everyone, I am single with DS 4 and DD 7. Coming up to 2 years now. I work part time and do find things very stressful at times. However its better being on your own rather than struggling in an unhappy relationship. You need to have done both to appreciate that!! I would like to meet someone now but have little confidence and going out is so expensive.

I met my 'new man' through friends reunited dating!!! There are loads of men on there - some wierdos but some are OK. It's not expensive to join and easier than meeting people in bars - never my cup of tea!!

Give it a try Joanna3!!

I guess I will be if all goes ok...

I'm a single mum of ds

Hi Listmaker. I've just signed up with an on-line dating agency so please wish me luck. Only been on it for 24 hours but only one guy has asked to contact me and he was much too young and no kids... Still early days yet, perhaps it is the fact that I am a single mum that puts people off

Yes, i can safely say i am a fully fledged member of this category!
Single mum to be, due 1st baby in 10 days.
This could all change though after the curry im having tonight!!!

Hello!
This is from myself and my partner, we were both single parents, I have three children all under 5, he has two, 8 & 11. Both of us had experienced violent relationships in our pasts, we met by chance five months ago, living 300 miles apart, never thinking it would ever be more than friends. He moved 3 miles from me 6 weeks ago, we are as one family and havent looked back since. There is hope for everything regardless of pasts and circumstances, just because you can't see it doesn't mean you never will.

Im a single mum...my exp left when our son was in intensive care with pnuemonia.I have since found out it was because he was with someone else who he had got pregnant 3 months after our son was born at 27 weeks.So i am quite pleased to be a single mum although i am hoping to change this soon!!

i am a single teenage parent and i think the being single bit is so much harder than the being young bit. i feel as though i need to explain to everyone that i didnt chose to be a single parent. i didnt tell him to be a *!

mopeep, are you new here? If so welcome, I'm single mum to ds of 6 and a dd who will be 4 in a couple of weeks. I'm going to be 25 this year but was once a teenage mum!

hi mopeep, just wanted to say hi too. im a single mum, dd's 2. i was 17 when i found out i was pregnant, and im 20 now. xxx

Hi I am very new to this and just wanted to add I am on my own too with ds now 4

can't believe i haven't posted on here yet!!

i am a single parent too, 26(nearly 27) with a lovely ds who is 4 1/2.

Another single parent. Really proud of what I achieve & think that every single parent on their own should give themselves a pat on the back for coping alone.

Count me in too!! I'm 27, single with ds5 and dd2. Been on my own technically for a year now.

Me too.

I have an 11 month dd who is adorable, my darling exP left me when I was pregnant because I wouldn't have an abortion (at 19 wks!)... strangely enough he is quite a good daddy (and friend) now and sees dd 2 or 3 times a week.
His evil parents have never met her but that is a whole other story!

Anyway, I have never regretted it (much! )and love being a mum.

i'm not a single mom anymore but was for 2.5 years and ooohhhh geez....more power to all of you...work..child...self....seems never ending...i worked in places i never thought i'd even see myself but at the time i was 20 and no real education...Take pride...It takes special person to put someone else above themselves...

Hi Everyone,

I'm a 24y/o single parent, I have a lovely litlle monster who's 3.
I have been a single parent has christmas 2002, I had already seen sense many months before, but it took me a little longer to get the courage to show my ex the door.....The most empowering day of my life!

Hi,

I am about to become a single mum (in seven weeks time). My ex is married - not as bad as it sounds, i didnt have an affair, in fact did everything to avoid it. He took me home one night when on a very rare occasion i had gotten drunk-i dont remember anything about it and it took me a long time to come to terms with it - refused to speak to him for 6 weeks until i found out i was pregnant- he then told me it was my problem, my fault and i should have an abortion for my own good. When i didnt he threatened us both if i didnt keep my mouth shut.

That said i was never meant to have a baby and was told i couldnt. The little boy i am expecting is my little miracle baby and i cant wait to meet him, scared as i am.
