Single parent and working...

[Surreal]

How do you others do it? Elijah doesn't sleep through the night yet, and even though I only work part time, on the days I do work... I'm just dragging butt. By the end of the night, I feel like a zombie!

Of course, it'd help if I went to sleep when he does, but I like having the hour or two to myself, at night! Ugh!

Someone just pay me to be a stay at home mom, please?

It's very difficult, I did it from when she was 7months to 1year1month, I took her with me and had an hours commute aswell, i was shattered!! It just had to be done

Now need to find a new job but i have fixed her sleeping so she sleeps really well now. Any way you can see about fixing his sleep routine so you get a solid nights sleep?

barely I am working full time...checking with the pediatrician about giving my 4-mth old cereal in his bottle at night to see if that will help...it is exhausting. I just try to remember that I have excellent attendance/work habits and am adamant to remain that way and prove everyone wrong about new moms (esp being a single new mom!).

Tbh though, my job is office based and I find that I enjoy the time to sit down and drink a hot cup of tea haha! I see work as my break

Im a nurse and im currently on my 2nd of 3 night shifts this week. You just adapt to it really. I'm always tired but then I just figure I've always worked and I worked hard to get my qualification and I don't want to give that up\. It helps to have a supportive family too!!! I just figure when I'm tired the housework can take a back burner and me time and mummy James time is just more important.
