How am I supposed to date as a single parent

Hi all my first post so please be kind with me..

I'm a single parent to my son who's 9 months old and how impossible is it to try and date?!! How did you manage it without feeling major mum guilt and juggling around life? TIA

Name change fail?

No?

Another way to look at it is that you are hopefully going to be able to get back to work soon, so between putting the time in to your career and taking care of a baby you are going to be quite busy and tired and dating can probably wait for a while.

When my maternity leave is up yes I will be.

Original poster. You have a different user name, you are not supposed to have multiple accounts, it’s against the board rules.

What’s going on?

babs98 · 20/09/2022 13:08

I only have one account I changed my username after being advised to. So not breaking any rules over here
