[quote=Anonymous]I am also a single mom of a 3 year old. There are times when you will feel like you are drowning, but they will pass. I go to bed when he does (8-9 pm because he naps at preschool) and wake up early — 4 or 5 a.m. Our weekly homemade meals include tacos, stir fries (can be simple and complete meal), spaghetti, beef stroganoff, frozen pierogis, sandwich night, and a Mac and Cheese night. I always include vegs and fruit. Try not to do takeout because it is expensive and I gained weight. We go to the playground almost every night after preschool where we both run around, jump, kick a ball, etc. Weekends are free parks — Cassie’s Big Backyard for sprinklers, forest, etc., Burke Lake Park, playgrounds farther away, Touch-A-Truck, carnivals, farms, museums, etc. We also love the library and have no screen time yet. I remind myself that I am just one person and can only do so much. Have him help you clean — 3 year olds love brooms, vacuums, etc! Take deep breaths, cry when you need to, get enough sleep, and spend as much time as you can with your child playing together, singing, telling stories, hugging, etc! I will sometimes call in sick from work if I need to get things done (hair cut!) or just breathe. Make a chart of all your monthly expenses and see where you can cut back. Hugs to you and all other single moms.
