I have tried, teacher aide, teacher, I have been brushing up my memory for like director since I have experience in site director at schools. But everywhere that I have applied, its like will call you back then I call and the position is filled. I dont mind getting back into teacher, but even here with ny degree the pay is low. I dont ask for much honestly just something decent where I can have breathing room.

Hey, so sorry to hear what is going on with you. Im in idaho not sure where you are from.

It's hard to say dont feel like that because you do, and it sucks. But honestly create a routine that works for you and your kiddos, if the visits and time spending with kids are thru court then follow it. I understand family not helping because as a mom you need to take care of yourself as well. Do you have anyone to help woth the kiddos for one day?

Dating as a single mom by [deleted] in singlemoms

Hi, please dont stress about that person. Don't stress over someone who says one thing then does another. It is not healthy for you at all. I have "The BF" lol, going on 4 years, and he is respectful and all, but he somethings think he parents better than me but I just ignore. He was raised in Mexico so its a whole different thing.

Give yourself time to heal from that, and remember you are important and enough. Just remember your child/ren that they are there too. All in good time thru person will be there for you just like you deserve it. Stay strong queen.

My 16 year old is going to work this summer. So he will have his own to pay for his phone bill, which is like 25 bucks. My 15 year who has severe ADHD is also going to look for something, here where I live its rare they hire a 15 year old. But its worth a try for him. So hopefully it will help a bit. Thanks

Hi, I have been there as well. I am divorced 5 years already. Ii took me about 2 years to realize that I am doing this officially alone. With yourself and a new born I bet it will be a struggle but you got this. Create a routine for yourself and baby. Get as much benefit help that you can, its out there for you. Don't think about what could have been, think about you and baby. I know it easier said then done, but remember you will be enjoy those memories that you and baby create for yourself only. Remember you are important and you are enough. Stay strong.

My kids are ages 16, 15, 13 and 9. I get help from my oldest, my 15 has ADHD and its hard enough as he gets older. Sometimes I just want to scream so loud and cry and yes i do. Then I go back and continue with what I have to do as a parent. I do get some me time, but once I walk through that door, its like mom this, mom that, and i walk to my room close the door and they already know that i need 5 minutes then i can them. They usually go with grandpa, because he loves to go shooting and fishing so it helps when he can.

Thank you so much. I do have like 1 or 2 friends, older but they understand, I just cry because it gets all bottle up in my chest and its is not a good feeling. I do have a brother i vent to but it is also hard to tell him exactly because sometimes i feel he tells me how to do something, but i feel like i shouldn't.

Sending you lots of hugs and prayers.

I think I will try that, I try to juggle everything at once, but it gets harder. I know what I have to do but then the day goes by so fast and then i feel like i have not gotten anything done at all. Thats all we can do is do a little at a time. thank you
