Where are you all?

I am in Leicestershire, and have 2 boys aged 6 and 3.

I thought about this last night, and really think that some of the 'end of tether' situations could be made a little less scary if we knew there was someone near by who understands.

I'm in Bristol with DD (5). There's a few of us in Bristol and we meet for coffee on a Friday morning, you're always welcome.

Maybe one of the other ways we can think about this is house swaps for holidays. Lots to do in Bristol and around, I'm always up for going to Scotland or Devon/Cornwall.

Queenofwhatever - house swaps sounds like a fab idea.
Unfortunately I cannot see many people wanting to come to Southend

I am in SE London with 1x 2.5 DD and a DS due in June..... scared - would love to hear from others who have split up whilst pregnant who have done this from the birth of the 2nd DC as the prospect of baby with toddler to contend with is daunting!

Queenofwhatever - I'm hoping to move to Bristol by the end of the year, my dd is five too. In SE London at the moment. What is single parent life like in Bristol?
