Hat's off to you!

For all intents and purposes i'm a single mother until October. My husband and I are military and he's gone to training 2000 miles away. My little pip squeak is 7 weeks old. This was my first week back to work, eating well and exercising. I'm so exhausted. This has seriously been the most demanding week of my life and i've been though basic training lol. I just can't help thinking about those of you that have done this for years and are still doing it.

He's worth it though happy

being a single parent is probably the hardest thing I could've imagined.. I have been a single parent now since they were born basically although there father was apart of there life until 4 months ago.

But as long as they are happy and healthy I dont complain too much happy my house is upside down a lot.I do things when I have the time to do it laundry etc... I put them in daycare during the day starting 4 months ago , Me time is for one hour a day when I go to the gym lol. I have them all weekends. My parents are both young and work full time, my sister is a full time student.. I am 25 years old , I am still young but i dedicate myself to my kids, I dont use baby sitters, I had the pleasure of going out last friday night to the casino/niagara falls after 2 years of NOT going out and i got in at 4am , lol I was up with the kids at 7am.. what a day..

being a parent though is the most rewarding thing in the world and i wouldnt change it happy

I think that I would have literally died if I had to put my little ones into daycare at 7 weeks.

Have a lot of respect for you, because I sure as hell couldn't do it! He is absolutely wonderful, too!

Entrap, while yes you are a very devoted parent and it obviously shows please take more time for yourself, it will do you and your kids wonders. Many churches and other organizations have adult events with babysitting provided. Your kids are usually in another room and you can peek in on them from time to time to see how they are doing.

or look around for another parent you can swpa babysitting with one night a month to give yuourself time to go see a movie or just go window shopping.

I raised 2 kids for 10 years more or less on my own and was lucky enough to have my mom there to take the kids now and then to give me a break.
