Awww...so glad I read this. I've been so scared of doing this whole thing and going through everything all alone. I'll have to just keep looking forward to the rewards of it all. Ugh...preggo hormones must be kicking in, because reading these has me all teary eyed! I'm not normally an emotional person, but a lot of stuff has been making me cry lately!

Awwwww hun

I didnt split from FOB till Alex was 6 months and it was the scariest thing ever but 4 months down the line i am happier than i have ever been.
I am lucky that i have brilliant friends and family nearby, i wish you all the best for your pregnany and once bubs is here nothing else will matter xxx

I started this thread as i was feeling a wee bit down about having no one to share the good times with but then i was reading a thread earlier today in which the OP is complaining about how her OH does very little, other posters admited that their Ohs do very little either.
Reading the thread made me realise that no man will ever make me unhappy in the sense that i have to do everything.

I love my son with all my heart and its a pleasure doing everything for him, when hes older i am going to take great satisfaction is saying "Look at what i did. I will make him the person he will become" haha that doesnt make sense but i know what i mean.

I am sure all you other single mummies feel the same. I think we all do an amazing job xx

Yes Hun your right. Chloe and Jaycee still see their dad but I brought them up. I am going to teach them manners and to treat people how they wish to be treated and so on. Its all going to come from me. I just hope one day when they are older they will see how hard a struggle it was and find the perfect person to be with. Me and their dad are clearly not right and that was before they were even conceived. Its terrible to think but we were given Chloe and Jaycee for a reason and that was because although we dont make a good couple we make good parents!
I am lucky I have such a strong support unit around me!!! My mum and dad are amazing and so are my brother and sister and marks family are just as great.

I stayed with mark far too long, a lot longer than I should have but we tried and at least I can say that to the girls. I believe if people arent happy they should leave, however hard at first it gets easier.
I remember writing a post in here and everyone saying it gets easier and i was like no I dont think it would but it did

mamashakesit, For me, I found the pregnancy the hardest thing. Being a mummy on your own is miles easier than being pregnant and on your own. You'll be grand!

Thanks Purple...so many people keep telling me how hard it is to do it alone, or how they can't imagine how anyone does it alone! It's so good to hear someone say that THIS is the difficult part...and the best is yet to come. Thank you...that really made me feel soooo much better!

the pregnancy is definitly the hard bit.
being a single mummy can be tough sometimes but once you get in a routine and things you'll wonder what you worried about.
it really scared me the thought of it as well but i love it

 

[Laura2919]

I practically brought my girls up on my own anyway so your right its not too hard! Apart from the teething and sleepless nights lol

 

[LOZANDEVIE]

I love this thread! I'm too a single mum myself and it made me smile and look on the brighter side...so thank you

my fav things are getting to snuggle up with the disney channel with the boys or dance around the room to the music channels and the fact that once they are in bed at night i get complete me time!!

no one to moan that the house isnt tidy enough (lets face it - with a 1 year old and a 4 year old the house is never tidy for long!!!) or the dishes havent been dried and put away or to hassle me for sex!!or that he doesnt like what i have cooked for tea!!! if i dont want to put the dishes away i dont - they will still be there in the morning where as if i dont get the me time i need my sanity may not!!!

i get to come and go as i please and can see who i want and i get total control over what goes where in the house!!
