.................. I take my hat off to those ladies and gents who have successfully brought up a child single-hendedly - it certainly isnt easy; I should know as I managed to fail with one of mine! My other one, well we shall have to wait and see how he progresses next year when he moves in with me!
Monty, I've got to be honest, I brought up my four children mainly single handed. For many of the years I was married to my beloved XH worked offshore so I had the children to rear on my own while he was away. Then when he came home I had to change my routine.
For what its worth, I actually found bringing up my children as a single parent once we split up was a lot easier than it was bringing them up with a guy about.
I could suit myself, when I wanted, IF I wanted, and bringing up my children on my own certainly made me a much stronger person.
For approx 8-10 years when my children were at primary school I was on the parents association and it was the ones who had husbands/partners that came up with excuses that they had to feed hubby or significant other when he came in from work Can a guy not feed himself, after all he is a grown up. Sheesh.
I hope things work out with your family when things are due to change. All the best from me anyway.
