ok so i am a single mom living with roommates...yes my son lives with me...and it's driving me INSANE! ok i get up in the AM get my son ready for school, i go to work, i come home and clean...apparently even adults don't appreciate a clean house, then spend the evening trying to be mom and relax. now here is the deal...guys say they are kewl with kids, yet they continuously ask me to go out....which is fine...but at the last min. i mean seriously...if the roomies don't help clean how often do you think they babysit? since november i have gone out to dinner (nothing after) twice. i am always here with a book in my hand taking care of my son and roomies dog...which acts just like my son. sometimes i just wanna scream and pull my hair out!!

I know how you feel. I'm a single mom as well, with nobody to help me. I have my own place with just me and my son and live at least 45 minutes away from anyone. It is tuff, for sure. Going out at all is something that I never get to do. If we lived closer, we could arrange some babysitting swaps.

I don't know if this will help, yet here goes. Can you meet someone for lunch while your son is in school? Is there a good friend he knows and can visit while you have a couple of hours to yourself? Maybe you can trade with someone else in your boat and get some time. My kids can be by themselves in a place (where I can still see them), and I can actually talk) with someone else who is not a kid.

I know how you feel. I have two kids and no one to help me out either. My parents can but only two days during the week. Its hard to get out just yourself. It would be nice to start up a babysitting thing for us single moms. Take turns or something.

I'd get rid of the room mates and find new ones that will help

I'm divorced and have kids with my ex husband so even though I was "single" it wasn't a problem until recently. I wouldn't say it's a problem but I recently had another baby by someone that I dated after my ex husband and I separated. I'm single now because he left me the week I found out I was pregnant. So I'm new to the being a "single mom" and trying to adjust. And I haven't really even dated much. So dating is new to me and now having a baby I'm scared no one will accept it. And honestly I'm not going to get any help from anyone either. Anyway probably too much info in here.

You need to find some local responsible teenagers that are looking to earn some money.

It's kinda scary but I remember baby sitting when I was 12 years old. Seriously I dunno if I would leave a baby with a 12 year old but these parents did! But high schoolers are not a bad idea perhaps.

I know exactly how you feel hon. I do have babysitters, (my parents offered to watch my kiddo, twice a week), but my energy levels soo low that I just plain cant drag myself outta the house for some fun, ya know? Between work and taking care of her, I am just plain beat! Its hard, but I wouldnt trade all the freedom in the world for my little angel.

I'm a single dad, my sons mother left us when he was 6 months old. I work 50 hours a week and the rest of my time is with my son and I love every minute of it! So to help me out though I went online and looked up babysitting agencies in my area and found a few good ones that aren't to expensive. It helps a lot because all the people they employ are medically certified.

well i figure when i had him i was done. my party days were over anyways. i enjoy just chilling with my son. we ended up in the er at 2am lol! he has an ear infection in both ears...sooo he was home on my day off! so laundry and cleaning and taking care of the sick kiddo!! i am not to keen on teenagers babysitting. call me over protective thats kewl! i had one watch him a few summers ago and it was disasterous! she trashed my house and refused to clean up after herself. i can't deal with that again. i prefer adults...i used to do the switch off with other moms...but for some reason going out just wasn't what it used to be. i prefer sitting and reading and watching a movie with my son. if i meet someone they will understand.

Unfortunately your decision is made for you. We choose to have our children and our needs must come second to theirs. When my children were young the gentleman paid for the babysitter... but I feel those times are gone.

im a single mother of two and i work full time. and ya know, dating, well whatvever, i just give up. it would be hard for me to introduce a man to my kids, i mean, unless he was gonna be part of all of our lives for a long long time, then i dont even see the point. and most guys dont understand that. its a tricky situation. must make us all extremly strong!
