I'm a former single parent, happily married now to an aussie who came to the u.s. to be with my boys and me. Boys are 10 and 8. That's a lot of caring you're doing for others -- I hope you're finding enough time to care for yourself a bit too. lm |

It's so nice to hear that there are men out there willing to take on the whole package!! I'm sure Christine will let you all know that I do indeed take time out for myself. With a few online games we tend to terrorize together and a few forum/message boards we seem to have a great liking to spam (go girl flame on!!). Aside from my release here on the pc, I do occasionally get to spend a day to myself... Hairdresser, Catch up on chores (i'm a clean freak, yes it's a novelty for me to do this), SLEEEEEEEEEEEEP!. As for the level of caring I do..... Wouldn't you? My daddy is my daddy and my son is my life..... What more can I say? |

You and I are alot alike Nic (I had to consciously type that and not EQ. lol) Anyways, we tend to give and give until we wear ourselves out. I am actually thinking of hitting a spa in the next week, I've never been. Yeah yeah I'm deprived. lol But I've been on a bit of a shopping spree this week, got some extra money on the go so I bought a new down duvet, a hair straightner, lingerie etc (I'm trying to pretty up for next month. lol) Christine |

Hi Dennis
What part of Ireland are you in? Thanks for the words of greeting. How many kids do you have? What is it like to be a single parent in Ireland? Are there lots of services available or not? I look forward to hearing about your single parent life and what life is like for you. I live in a rural inland community of 600, but I have never seen more than 10 people on any given day. I am originally from the city. I find life tiring as I live with my 3 teenage kids but have no parents or siblings so no one other than social workers to share my problems and ideas with. Be interesting to get feed back from parents overseas.

"Ms Louise Clayton" wrote in message Hi Dennis Hi Louise! What part of Ireland are you in? The middle Thanks for the words of greeting. My pleasure How many kids do you have? Three What is it like to be a single parent in Ireland? Same as anywhere else Are there lots of services available or not? none I look forward to hearing about your single parent life and what life is like for you. Watch this space I live in a rural inland community of 600, but I have never seen more than 10 people on any given day. About half that in my village I am originally from the city. Don't like cities much I find life tiring as I live with my 3 teenage kids but have no parents or siblings so no one other than social workers to share my problems and ideas with. Social workers would be the last people on earth I would share a problem with. They tend to blow them upout of all proportion as a way of justifying their existence. Be interesting to get feed back from parents overseas. Watch this space some more. Dennis |

Like to learn more about life for singles in other countries as well. Chloe Hi, i just found this group as well. I have recently become a single parent, my wife passed away 6 weeks ago from cancer barstard of a disease. We have been offered help by councellors from the kids high school but so far i don't think we have needed it. The kids, 2 girls and a boy, 13, 12 and 10 are doing really well, better than me i think. I draw most of my strength from them. It's going to be very different bringing up teenage kids as a single parent i'd imagine but it seems looking around this group that plenty of people do it. Sid. |
