Single Parenting Support Group
Today being raised by a single parent is not uncommon. About three in ten children live in a single parent home. The most common type of single parent home is one with only a mother. However, single father homes are the fastest growing type of family situation; 60% growth in the last ten years alone.
Just needed to vent a minute...Its Halloween and dad is no where to be found. I know that lots of grown ups do things and party but come on!! He lives 3 streets away and my daughter has tried and tried to call him and no answer. How can you not even think about them on a child like holiday. It was bad enough he never called or anything on their birthdays.....Im trying so hard to pull it together and remember that I should be enjoying tonight with the kids...oh but its so hard....Being mom and dad all the time is my biggest challenge....

I'm sorry to hear this. The man doesn't know what he is missing. How sad is it that he has this opportunity and doens't take advantage. I'm recently remarried but my husband has never been allowed to be around his kids on Halloween because it always fell on his ex's schedule and she didn't want him around unless it was his visitation time. He can't wait until next year when Halloween falls on his weekend for visitation. Its a shame the sorry dads don't hook up with the selfish moms. Just make it enjoyable for her as you can. I'm sure you are a great mom!

My daughter is very hurt when she calls her dad and leaves a message and he doesn't call back. It has gotten to the point that she doesn't ask to call any longer.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
