I guess that is my new title...Jacqueline, a single Mom. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about the term. I have always been an advocate that you are not a single parent if the other parent is help in some way shape or form. There are many different different facets to co-parenting children. I am new to all of it. I'd like to hear opinions or any helpful advice. Oftentimes, people let their own feelings get in the way of how they parent their children. I have not or will not let that be my issue. I have resolved all of the emotional issues in my past relationship. It feels easy for me to speak to my children's father about what needs to be done. So with all of that being said...here's to a new journey. I know that it will be hard at times, being that I am the primary caretaker of our children. But I am up for the challenge. Testing out my "SuperWoman" capabilities. Here is a fun and fabulous 2011!
Ciao

Coming from a single parent household and being a former single mom the advice that I would give you is don't talk bad about your children's father in front of them, keep a consistent visitation schedule and try to keep communication between you & your ex short, sweet and drama free and about the kids.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you pretty much have everything under control. So, I have no doubt that the three of you will have great times ahead!
Thank you for your comment. So far, so good. Thankfully I have no bad things to say in the father department. :)
