Single Mums

[Unknown1989]

How do you do it? How do you deal with the 24/7 care and duty towards your children? You mums are really incredible. And I feel we could all learn from you. Any tips of managing a balanced life with young baby/children?

I can’t talk for anyone else as we all do our best. However for me it is simpler to be fully accountable for doing everything. I don’t need to compromise on decisions. I am never let down by someone else not doing their share. I don’t have to expend any energy on an adult relationship. (I appreciate the right adult relationship could also bring me energy) I have not found it super hard but then I have also not sought a balanced life you refer to in your post. I work (full time) and I parent. I don’t do anything else and I’m really ok with that. It’s not forever and I have had years of social life and travelling and excitement as my babies came late. As someone wiser than me said. You can have it all. Just not all at the same time.
