I'm a single mum to 2 small boys, who I love with all my heart... But bloody hell, the pressure, its a never ending struggle to know weather your decisions are going to have a postitive or negative effect on thier life.
I use FAB as an escape and to just be me instead of 'mum'.
What pressures do you have in your life? |

Same as you, I'm a single dad, I've just moved house, and life is upside down right now.
When days go right, it's beautiful, when my little one goes off to sleep at a decent time, and I don't get any drama from external sources, it's like you can take the world on, but when they go bad, it feels like a disaster, but it's all about the planning, that's how you win lol |

I'm in the same boat - a mum of 2 "co-parenting" as best I can with their dad. I try & make the most of my limited time when they are with him (1 night a week) but they are getting older (14 & 9) & starting to live their own lives. They can annoy me when they are here but I miss them when they're gone!!
Fab is my escape - I've made some great friends x |

Seems like its a never ending battle of cleaning, washing, cooking and splitting up fights... But then I hear them playing nicely, laughing and my heart bursts with pride.
I have stopped myself from getting into new relationships as I don't want my boys to feel threatened by a man. But then they are sleeping and I'm left lonely and desperately seeking a decent adult conversion and the odd game of scrabble.
On another note... I really dislike cadburys creme eggs |

my mother was as single mum and we had a very tight loving family unit and we do to this day. She has gone but my sister and I are amazingly close and would not have changed a day, the good ones and the many tough ones.
good luck |

I was a single mum of 1, he sees his dad every other weekend. That will be changing soon as he has got a job at week emended whilst at college in the week. It's hard work, but I thank my lucky stars that iv had my family and his dad's family's help a lot with babysitting when needed etc. I do admire full time mums who have no-one to help. It dies get easier, when they get older.
I don't like cream eggs either  |

"Thanks everyone... Can be very isolating sometimes, but great to know I'm not alone feeling like this.
Now... Who wants to fuck?  "
Yeah go on then lol
So you don't know the joy of eating a creme egg and using a kit-Kat as soldiers then  |

I'm in the same boat. Single mum of 3. Their dad isn't around and I don't have the luxury of a supportive family and masses of friends.
Life is hard at times. I spend my days at work and realise at times how lonely I've become.
For me fab is a place to be me not mum etc. I love my boys more than life but we all need a little me time too xx |

Single full-time dad of 1 gorgeous little person here. It is hugely difficult and stressful especially having to work full-time and run a house but it's also hugely rewarding knowing that I'm providing a safe haven for them  |

Have to say single parents are heroes and heroines in my book. Parenting is partly an art and sometimes (rocket) science with no real help from Google!
I brought my kids up as a married couple and of all my achievements in life pointing to the fact that all my kids are all upstanding members of society has to be my most rewarding. To undertake the parenting journey alone is a massive challenge and those who are on that sojourn have my respect.

Im a step dad as well as a dad. I share my home with 2 of my own children and 3 older step children. The step children all have behaviour problems, two are on the verge of being expelled from school but being the step parent limits what you can do. My wife tries to control them and sometimes asks for my support but then sometimes claims Im over the top or treating them differently from my kids (maybe because mine behave duh!!) Their own father is useless and wont diciplin them and lets them get away with murder so Im constantly walking a razor blade with them. Its a horrendous pressure. |

I have the pressures associated with being a part time dad to a girl who has already far outstripped her mum mentally and spend a lot of time trying to undo damage caused by lack of forethought and kneejerk reactions on her mums part (while knowing that her actions were well meant).
The pressure from my job is also increasing exponentially right now which doesn't help.
Fab is a great release for me also. All my real friends live miles away, all my colleagues are married and settled, and it is difficult to meet people in the real world especially living in the arse end of nowhere. |

Is your wife the other half of the couple inhabiting your profile? Because when she reads this later you two are going to have a hugely unenjoyable conversation about loyalty and discretion  |
