[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single dad with full time custody with an ex who has no visitation. It's BUSY.  I work full time, run the kids to their activities, do homework checks, cook, clean, and spend time hanging out chatting etc. That's Monday through Friday. The weekends are spent at sports tournaments and other activities. Now that my kids are older (teenagers), there is a bit more time to myself, but between working and parenting, I am just now slowly but surely building a circle of friends to do "social" things with. When the kids were younger money was tight so I couldn't afford sitters because that would literally be taking money away from the kids. Now that they are older, I do get a bit of free time, but not much. I think teenagers need as much "supervision" (i.e. home but not in their grill, available, but not necessarily bothering them) as smaller kids in a way.

I imagine empty nesting will be a big change. I'll be 44, so it's strange to think in six years I will be all alone. [/quote]
