I am a single mom and almost never went on a date when my daughter was little. When she was in school I went on some dates for lunch. I have a hard time emotionally, just leaving my baby (even at 3 years old)... and even then the money (no child support or family). The baby will be born in 3 months and then I don't know how I'll ever get out, not even a tiny break... any suggestions? What do you other single mom's do?

is it possilble to get out with 2 kids at home (one a baby) and no child support or family around? Is it normal to emotionally not be able to leave them when young?

i am doing the online dating service. it's low maintaince and it seems to fit in my life. i get to talk to a male, and yet take my time on whether or not i should meet him. recently i met a guy thru myspace. at first he seemed wonderful, very nice, and he lives down the street from me. but after a week i realized i didnt like his vocabulary and he mentioned drinking alot. and as simple as emailing him a note to say i wouldnt be available to talk to him, it was 'over'. but what if everything was "fine" would i have dated him? well that was one of his concerns. i wasn't ready really. not for a traditional relationship. first of all i have alot of healing from the past relationship to do. i'm over the pain and drama but there's getting over "him". and i find i compare men to him alot. i dont mean to but it happens. also my kids do NOT want me to date. even though he's married my two oldest think their dad is coming home. so i feel i need to date as my way of saying, no we are NOT going to wait for him, that's not healthy! i think if they see me dating they'll "get it". but i have promised them the will not meet anyone till i've dated this person for atleast a year. so do what i do. keep your family at home and keep your dates extremely private! and do NOT introduce the two groups until after a year. your kids dont need to see you in and out of relationships. i learned that the hard way. good luck!
single mom of four!

You can go out very early in a childs life if you have a perfect babysitter, like grandparents. I don't recommend all night dates, but you do need some space from the kids or you will have problems later.
Good luck

drop em' off to child adoption center, it's best for them there because you obviously don't have the money and you are not emotionally prepare.
ps don't dumb your baby in dumpsters, that's just sad
