Is a much stronger friend network. My life is my children and work and nothing more.... I promised myself I would generate a group of friends I can count on. Dont get me wrong i have some friends, but we are at entirely different places in our lives. I am a single mom with 2 boys and some of my friends are single (which is hard for them to understand why Im home more than out) or married (in this case I just visit them via email) just in different worlds. Looking to build positive similar minded friends.. I hope I have found a source for that...
Thanks

We are great friends here on this site. Know that you have found one of the strongest support groups I have ever been in. Enjoy your stay, and feel free to post whatever comes to mind.

Thanks ladies... Trying to build a network of strong single parents. Dont have too much family around here.. Been a single mom for 2 years. Its about time I build a solid network with similar situations..

Thanks ladies

Welcome,I'm sure you'll love it here.I think alot of single moms feel the way you do.I go to work and come home,my "friends" are moms of my sons school friends who I see at school events.Until I came here that is,now I consider all the mom and dads at SFV my friends,welcome to the gang. How old are your boys?

Just wanted to say hey...I'm new also, but I wonder if someone could respond to come concerns I have....it sounds like so many of you are young single parents with young kids....I am a 40something parent with two boys, 16 and 12....the teen and preteen years bring a whole host of frustrations and concerns....anyone else share this issue?

P.S. I actually consider myself as a single parent nearly the entire time since I never really had any help from ANYONE....knock wood, so far my kids are good kids (a bit fresh to me, but good, seemingly well-adjusted everywhere else!)

Welcome hokehstage. The best way to get a response to your post is to start a new thread by choosing new topic.


Otherwise, most people think you are just adding to the original post.
