Like most people said "enjoy your time with your child." That's more important than anything. Learn to enjoy life just the 2 of you together. I was a single mom of 2 babies under the age of 3 for 2 years. I was so happy. We went on picnics, went to parades, shopping, park, etc. We did what we wanted when we wanted. Then I met a man, dated discretely for 6 months. Introduced him to the kids, got off great. He fell in love with us and we've been a happy family for 3 years now. Let everything fall into place naturally. Don't feel you NEED someone to lay next to you in bed every night. And if you do, go grab your kid and you couldn't ask for better company!

Just love and support your kid/kids and do your best. And cut yourself some slack sometimes, don't expect yourself to be perfect. Make time for your kids often, take care of yourself so you'll be healthy for your kids, and try not to bring stress home with you. If you date, don't introduce the men to your kids until you are secure in your relationship, meeting different men will only confuse the kids and if they get attached to one man only to have a new one come along, they will start to feel insecure. And it may sound paranoid, but be careful that men you date are not pedophiles, protect your kids all costs. Most of all, relax, I'm sure you're doing a fine job!

Well Honey. This is a great question but you need to be a bit more specific. You don't need to get married. Do you make enough money? If not, plan ahead and make that life support for weenie pay for his child. Know what I mean? Good luck Mommy! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

It is an extremely hard job and a lonely one. when things get hard just remember that ur child did't ask to b here and ur first responsibility is to him or her before urself. that sounds very selfish but believe me i have been there and not done that and i will pay for it the rest of my life. u can only do ur best and if u feel u r doing that then u can hold ur head high. good luck sweetie.

Kids are like homeless people. The hang around letting others feed them and clothe them. Sometimes they hate you and sometimes they complain. Sometimes they're nice and sometimes they're thankful. Bottom line is, after 18 years it's time to find a new overpass!

Make your kids your #1 priority. Don't parade men around your kids. Date but do it discreetly.
