[quote=Anonymous]I am not a single mother by choice.  My ex doesn't help out much.  And it's hard.  It really sucks sometimes.  Of course my children (I have two between the ages of 8-12) are the light of my life, I love them ridiculously and unconditionally.  However, I would never do this on my own if I had a choice.  You are a full time parent.  You have a full-time job.  Guess how much time that leaves you to do anything for yourself?  Yesterday, I was up at 5am and finally got to sit down and "relax" for the day by 9pm (relaxing included folding laundry...).  If I could afford a nanny or help a few hours a day that would definitely help, but even making 100K+ I can't afford a luxury like that.

I am sure there are wonderful stories of single moms by choice, but in MY experience, it's absolutely exhausting.  Take the others advice.  Focus on dating.  Try and find a partner first.  35 is not old.  And think really long and hard about bringing a child into this world with you as the only parent.[/quote]
