[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if we could/should start some sort of closed Facebook group for single parents.  We could vent about stuff, or crowd-source how to solve problems or compare notes about camps/schools or dating or how to juggle rec activities.

I posted earlier - I'm one of the super busy single moms.  Before I had a kid, I tended to be pretty scheduled, and that hasn't really changed.  I think I have some internal issues about bringing her up in a less stable situation (two homes) so I work extra hard to make things really "normal" for her otherwise.  I definitely feel pressure for her to grow up not wanting for anything, even though she has two homes when most kids just have one.  It was very important to me for her to grow up in a SFH, with all the activities other kids have, with me heavily involved in them.  I want her to have as traditional a childhood as I can give her.

It leaves no time for dating.  At some point I need to fix that, but I would feel guilty taking time away from her to meet random dudes on Tinder.  Even though I'll probably need to do that if I don't want to end up alone forever![/quote]
