[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been a single mom since my DS was born nearly 15 yrs ago. His dad has never really been involved in his life. Single parenting is exhausting but if you have the money to hire help, it is probably less exhausting. I was a very independent person as well as an introvert so having a kid 24/7 often sucked the life out of me. Things got easier as my son was able to stay home alone while I ran errands, got a haircut etc. [/quote]

That really is the thing that people couldn’t understand the most - that, for years, I simply couldn’t leave the house to run to the drugstore or take an exercise class or anything like that.  I dealt with it, and I can do those things now, but it was a shock to the system.[/quote]

Going to run errands alone was in incredible. I waited 9 or so years to be able to do it alone. NOW I knew why Target had Starbucks. Some people actually enjoyed running errands. My DS is 14 and I still look forward to my weekend errands alone. [/quote]
