Single Parenting - Is it possible??Single parenting is possible! You can do whatever you set your mind too. The key is balance. Trust me there are many times that I have wanted to pull my hair out or run away, but I am still here! 5 Steps to Single Parenting 1. Balance It is important to create as much balance in your hectic life as possible. For me balance means work, play and exercise. 2. Fun So many times I have noticed that I am forgetting to have fun with my daughter. For fun together we put on crazy outfits and crank up the music and dance like wild women. We have had dinner picnics on the living room floor. My daughter loves to clean so we fill spray bottles with water and wash everything. 3. Breathe or Cry It is okay to take five minutes to your self. Or to cry in front of your children. I have done both. Especially during temper tantrums. I have been known to cry while she is throwing a fit and then sit outside for a few minutes to gather strength. Please make sure your child is safe and in view before doing this and remember to take a house key with you! 4. Ask for Help It is okay to ask for help. I have worked out a deal with my mom so that she spends time with my daughter on Saturday mornings so that I can go grocery shopping by myself! 5. Have Faith This doesnt have to religious, but believe. Know what you want and believe and trust that it will happen. This has worked for me over and over again, just know what you want and believe and trust that it will happen and it will. Adoption
