Don't worry about all the questions. How many children do u have?

Yes they are very demanding and u can't take your eyes off them for a minute.
It is hard when come out of a relationship esp when children are involved. Was hard when mine ended. But I'm over it and just think of all the positives.
Yes being on your own is quite hard I just try to find things to do to keep busy. Sorry to hear about your parents. Hope they get better. Are u not talking to your ex anymore?
Hi stacie45, welcome along. Yes, single parenthood can be hard work, but at the end of the day, all our hard work is down to us, so we can take all of the credit Glad you have support. Look forward to 'chatting'.
Thank u! Yes would be nice to chat.
Yes is hard work but I love it and am so proud of her. I love doing all the work in a way and means I don't miss anything. X

Kiera you were out of bed at a late time, hope you're not too tired today.
Stacie, sounds like you are moving forward with your life now. I am one of the moderators here, with Anna and Sally, I have two boys, became a single parent when they were eight and three and they are now twenty two and seventeen!!! so I certainly have had all sorts of experiences.
What are the words your little girl is saying?
Kiera that sounds very hard and must have been hard time for u. Just think of positives atleast u aren't in that relationship anymore. That's what I did after mine.
Yes kids do notice when mum is stressed etc my little one picks up on it. Hope u are ok.
Yes am moving forward with my life and its going quite well. I have my daughter that's all I need!
Yes I bet you have had many experiences. How did your boys cope when you became single parent? Where they ok with it?
She says mummy, micky and minnie, hat. Chair, meow, kitty, hello, bye bye, juice, cup of tea and many more she puts some together to make sentences.
hi well ex txts nice then he txts nasty threats, hes so predictable now, wish he would disapear, but i no its not gona happen,i feel like i am in that relationship as he doesnt leave me alone,im ok,
Just ignore all his txts unless they are important ones. Try not to let him get you down hun. X
il try, gona get my little girl to bed now,then sort out 2 lads,they start back school tomoz, x
Hi stacie45, welcome to One Space from me
I had just turned 22 when I had my daughter, a lot of my friends were off travelling the world whilst I was home alone with my little one.
It can be hard when everyone is busy with their lives and partners etc. My daughter is now 17 (still can't believe that!) and I can honestly say that I wouldn't have had it any other way. I have friends now who are trying for children, have settled down and bought houses and cars etc and although this was what I always wished for - and felt hard done by, because I didn't have it - NOW my life is just about to change and I am young enough to do anything I want!!
Look forward to getting to know you. Does your daughter see her father? How is your relationship with him?
Hello stacie45
You are very welcome here and there is no way you would bore us!
So, your daughter is 21 months, that is an exciting age, just learning new words, and keeping you on the go running around all day I guess? Are yout still living with family? Do they give you some help and support? Does your daughter see her dad?
Sorry for so many questions but looking forward to hearing more about you![smiley smiley](../../sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif)
