Are your Facebook friends really true friends?

You’ve started an interesting discussion at Single Mom Seeking about Facebook and your relationship status.
We even touched upon this at Singlemommyhood recently, when we asked how your Facebook status plays a role in your love life.
Many of you — such as John at Single Parent Travel and Mindy at Single Mom Says — [...]

Madonna to adopt again?

Madonna, you’re an icon. It’s impossible to ignore the latest news about your family.
Both of us are all about supporting other mothers’ parenting decisions. Of course, we’re on the record urging Nadya Suleman to place her babies up for open adoption.

New beginnings

In honor of spring, we’ve got new beginnings on our minds! And behind the scenes, we’ve been working on our new logo, which we’re thrilled to show off here!

We know that you’ve been very busy getting things done, because you’ve openly shared so much about your lives since we launched (in December ‘08!). We’re proud [...]

Dads, do you ever get invited into your ex’s home?

We hope this is obvious: we love to hear from single dads at Singlemommyhood.
The great thing about having wonderful neighbors, like our single dad readers, is how much we learn from each other.
When we recently wrote about dads who pick up — and drop off –  their kid(s) from the ex’s home — you [...]

Does Dad come into your home?

Does your ex come into your home when he’s picking up the kids?
Although neither of us has personal experience with this –  we’ve raised our kids solo — we sure hear about this scenario from moms.
Let’s say that it’s your ex’s weekend with the kids. You’re scurrying around your home to pack their overnight [...]

Why bad mouthing fathers online is a bad idea

Surely, you’ve noticed this lately online: there has been A LOT of controversial bad-mouthing of fathers.
Interestingly, readers’ comments have highlighted the fact that the single parent community needs to protect our kids. We all agree that kids get hurt when one parent bad-mouths the other.
We also know that, someday, our kids will go online and [...]

To the married moms who envy us: how about a truce?

When “my babies” were growing up I realized that the harshest critics of “singlemommyhood” were often married moms (ouch!).
I’ll never forget the one mom who always seemed to work something about my divorce into our playground conversations.
Her comments went something like this:
“Your kids are really great despite the fact that you’re divorced.”

Do you have a lock on your bedroom door?

Today, Rachel at Single Mom Seeking writes about not having a lock on her bedroom door.
Of course, she wishes that she’d put the darn thing on there ages ago! And she already sensed what Dr. Leah, aka The Sanity Fairy™ might say when she explained her dilemma:
Rachel was foolish to wait.
Fortunately, The Sanity Fairy™ [...]

Do you have a private, kid-free zone in your home?

Are you having sex in your own home?
We asked you this recently, and we’re not surprised that this is one of the most controversial subjects for single parents.
