Chat for single parents!

[autumngirl714]

I just wondered if there was anyone here who might like a space to share with other single parents?
Just day to day chat and support!

I am a single mum, I have two primary school aged children.vibe been in my own for 5 years!!
They live with me mainly but do see their dad.

I don't have any single parent friend in the real world, all friends are happily coupled up (of course!) so I'd just love to be able to chat the day to day stuff with people on my boat!

I absolutely love being a Mum! Parent of me also likes doing it on my own and not having to listen to his stupid opinions and judgements 😂 But heck it can be lonely can't it?!

My biggest struggle is mum guilt. It's everywhere. I feel guilty when I'm over whelmed, guilty when they're not home, guilty that I don't have a big house and they share a bedroom... just everything really 😂😂

Anyone out there fancy a chat ☺️

Another single mum here to teens. I have found my friendships have dwindled or changed as the children have got older. It feels lonely sometimes. No family nearby and those relationships are a bit complicated. Ex sees the teens but is not local either. One of my children has Sen which adds a whole lot of complications on top of everything else in life. I have recently retrained and I’m considering an area move and a fresh start I wonder if anyone else has done this?

@IngweCalanisAegnor I moved back to UK when my DS was 6yo. I’m from here and already had a job here but had no friends or family local to me.
I think it is easier if they’re still at nursery - you can make friends with other parents there and when they start school. It’s harder if you move after they’ve started school as parents aren’t looking to meet others.
I think the hardest aspect is the finances - only you can work out if you would be better off where you are or in the UK.
