SIngle Parents?

How do they do it?  I feel like I'm swimming up a stream of molasses.

I have no idea how they do it. I often wonder myself.

It's never been this much of a challenge before. I get frustrated because Ellie's frustrated and crying/whining and I can't get even what she wants done. But she's napping now - yay!

Single parents are my heroes. Seriously.

I love that icon - I often think about that moment of Buffy when I'm trying to explain to people how I felt just before Ellie was born. My world was reduced to just me.

Okay, that memory has cheered me up quite a bit. :)

I was essentially a single parent just for a few months, relocating between continents with a toddler. Drove me bonkers.

Mostly, I took her with me everywhere, and slept when I could. And Jo was an extremely mellow kid. I have no idea who someone with a high-maintenance, attention-hungry kid handles it, without backup.
