this is just more of a rant than anything.

Im bloody fed up with it all. Not DS, he is wonderful but just everything else.

Ive been on my own for 9 months now. I work, house is nice, bills are mostly paid we dont go without and generally we are diong ok.
I had started to feel really good about myself again, but should have known that would end up with coming down to earth with a bump at some point.

Ds dad is an idiot who is always letting him down, so not only do i have to deal with an upset ds, but i dont get a break either.
Family all work too, so they cant really help.
Im tired of doing everythng by myself all of the time.
Ive been on a few dates too. all turn out to be loosers, so im giving up on that for the momment, but in a way that makes me more fed up.

Im just right fed up today, im sure ill feel ok later on, but today i just feel sorry for myself. Have called in sick at work and am having a lazy day with DS...

this is a quick solidarity wave from my living room

I have nothing constructive to add, unfortunately. I'm in the same boat as many fellow singletons. Bad relationship under my belt, dates with losers... but have recently met a Very Nice Man and it's all going swimmingly. We'll see how he shapes up in the longer term.

Ladies, there is hope out there.

i have met a lovely man this year, he is keen to settle down/move in/have a child etc but i love my independence so much that i am not going to let this happen.

i had a horrible time splitting with my ex-dh 2 yrs ago, couldnt eat or sleep or even want to live. Then i started wishing i could meet someone after 2 years on my own. Now i have met someone lovely (who adores my kids), the LAST thing i want is to move in with him !!!
Im sure it would ruin it all for us. And i have had to tell him that i dont want any more children.

I love having the house to myself every eve, having the whole bed to myself. I really cannot imagine having to live with another adult again!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your singledom!!!!

Hi

A few of you have mentioned wanting to meet up with other single parents....why not have a look at the Single Parent Travel Club....it costs £10 to join but there are over 300 members in the UK.

There are a couple of meets coming up in London...plus holiday's ...short breaks...etc

Just Google Single Parent Travel Club...
