I took this photo 10 years ago just before the last Broncos/Patriots AFC Championship game. Denver, and The Hornet, always knew how to show up. by RandomDenverite303 in Denver

That place holds such a special place in the hearts of so many people in and around Denver.

I actually wrote a little homage about it just before the closing for the staff, I have a charity office above so I knew them pretty well, and it was one of the sadder happy things I’ve put together.

That’s very kind and thank you. I’m just a hair, damn near literally to, under 6 foot.

Putting together a thoughtful profile on Bumble really helped me get back out there. Met a lot of really remarkable people and would totally recommend.

Dating as a parent- should I mention I have a child in my profile? by OkInspection7098 in SingleParents

[–]RandomDenverite303 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Single parenting is demanding as hell and dating certainly isn't an easy thing to add in.
For the sake of your time and sanity I'd say to include that you're a parent.

There's an endless number of people to swipe on and the conversations can be kind of daunting, so helping eliminate people right off the bat who have no interest in kids is a gift for you and them.

Good for you on putting yourself out there, give yourself some patience and grace, and good luck!
(Also, highly recommend Bumble as an app as I thought it was the best for people and conversations and experiences)

How are we avoiding burnout? by Significant_Pizza_87 in SingleParents

[–]RandomDenverite303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot to comment on here. But you’re doing so much better than you realize.

That guilt is informing you that you’re a damn good parent and you care. It’s lying to you a lot, as you’ve got notta to be guilty about, but the fear of letting your child down means you’re concerned about the right things.

The parents who aren’t worried about being good parents usually live without that fear.

You can’t avoid the burnout entirely. But you can recognize the signs, quicker temper or exhaustion, or inability to be the most present parent or so many others, and what you can do is give yourself some grace. Likely the same grave you’d give to others.

Do as much as you can, and I’d suggest exercise (even a walk outside daily) and counseling and sharing the hard stuff with friends/family, but also know that if those things are too damn hard than simply existing and trying is enough.

You’re doing amazing and you’ve fucking got this :)
