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.

Hey everyone, 


I am a 32 yr old mother of 4 children between 13-9yr. I have been a single mother for 8 years now. I have moved to a new state away from my support system and family. I don't have any friends with children. There are sometihings that i wish I can talk to others about. Should as the teenagers and their attitudes

I am here anytime you'd like to talk! I have 5 children. Two are adults, another about to be, a 12 yr old, and a soon to be 2 yr old. Trust me, I've had my share of the teen rebellious years, and still going through them. You are not alone! Hopefully we can help each other out somehow someway....even if just a chat!

Thanks, it would be great. My oldest is the queen of the attitude until she wants something.

Hmm, leverage? My daughter was queen of attitude too until she moved out - and found she was wrong about the real world, and about the importance of maintaining good relationships with the people around you (Her boyfriend broke up with her, she ended up having to move back in. With a few extra expectations.)
I wish I had to chance to sit down and talk with her about her attitude and the way she treated those she was closest to, it might have/have not saved her from her real life consequences. When she's having an attitude is never the best time, but perhaps next time she wants something?

Just a thought, and good luck!
