[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry for your loss, OP. I’m a single parent by choice so it’s a very different situation as I signed up for this. It can be hard but is manageable. I would definitely look for daycare for your younger and make sure your older is also enrolled in aftercare (assuming they’re elementary) so you have full time care for both kids. Ask on local fbook groups or list serves or via word of mouth for recommendations. As for how to do it while working: accept that your standards are lower. The food will be simpler, the weekends less adventurous, the 1:1 time with each kid will be limited, your house will likely be less clean. But that doesn’t there’s any less love. Good luck and if you have any specific questions as opposed to generalized overwhelmed terror (which is super valid, and again I’m so sorry you’re in this situation) feel free to ask and we’ll do our best to give suggestions. <3[/quote]
