You poor thing. It is hard enough bringing up children with 2 parents. As a start, could you invite friends over to your place to share a pizza or DVD? That would get over the babysitting problem. Also, if you have 4 or 5 friends with babies then set up a babysitting circle where you pay each other in tokens not cash. You can take your baby with you for this you see. At least you might get chance to get out once a month or something. Take up a sport?

It won't be this way forever honest. I was a single parent for nearly 9 years and it's hard but it does get easier to have some semblance of a social life once the child is a bit older. go to baby /toddler n parent groups n make friends to start with, who knows what will come later!

I've recently become a single parent to a boy who is nearly 3.It is hard but it does get better.Just enjoy the time you have with your baby as they do grow up quick.
Go to baby and toddler groups where you will meet lots of people,you'll be surprised how many people are in the same postion as yourself,you're not alone.By making friends overtime you not only have friends but people to ask for advice and a babysitting service.Thats what me and my friends do,we take it in turns to look after each others kids to give each other a break and when we want a girlie night out,well,thats when we ask the parents.Take care and chin up.

Start going to church. There's a good place to meet decent people. Stay away from the Internet dating. It's dangerous and you have to think of your son. You are not going to be like this forever. Concentrate on your son right now and remember you are in this position because of a "date" with the wrong guy. Be patient and do right by your sweet innocent baby boy.

I was in the exactly the same position and went on date.com...
I didn't pay any money to them just done the free bit and met my hubby....
Its a bit sad I know but hey we can't get out and as long as you chat and chat for months on yahoo or msn before you meet u will already know each other.....
If they are a false person you will catch em out eventually with there lies, so make sure you do chat a lot before you meet....
Good luck, eeeeeeeeekkkkkkk I have never told anyone that is how we met so ur privileged lol

spend time with your baby and enjoy being a mum for a while if your still wanting to meet people then try internet dating a few friends of mine who are single or single parents have done it my sister is at the moment and i was a single mum also did im not single anymore..keep your wits about you tho.. try www.plentyoffish.com thats what we all used. just do lots of chatting don't rush into meeting anyone and above all else have fun. its great to sit and chat while doing nothing at night time..............good luck

The best way is online as you can have long chats with different guys until you feel that you found someone who is worth meeting in person. Once you decide to meet him, you can do so at a park or a place where you can take your son with you.
Good luck!

you just need to wait stay single for a while raise your baby focus all on your baby and nothing else when the time comes if its right they will come up and then you can get on with your life but you are a mother now and your life is for your baby now you are not living fr yourself anymore you are living for that five month baby

i am a single mother. the best thing you can do is find a single father!! I also found that intimate relationships with other women helped me to get back on track
