Thanks, Dad: a T-shirt contest

If you’ve been visiting Singlemommyhood for any length of time, then you know that we’re NOT just about moms. We openly welcome fathers, step-fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers… And that’s why we’re hosting an end-of-summer “Thanks, Dad” contest. We got the chance to chat with Tom Kiddoo — the creative guru behind these ‘Thanks, Dad‘ T-shirts [...]

What does “more space” really mean?

When single guys — who are dating single moms — write to us, we’re always fascinated by their perspective on what can be tricky relationship territory. So, when we got an emotional email from “Dr. C” — a physician — we asked him if we could share his story with you.  Dr. C. is a [...]

We know that some of you might scream when you read that headline — “No!!!” — but we also know that many of you get this one. We really appreciated the honest email we got recently from a single mom reader, and we respect her wishes to remain anonymous. She’s very eager to hear your [...]

When it’s NOT just about a birthday card. Help!

The single mom reader of an eight-year-old daughter sent us an urgent email this week telling us that her ex has never contributed financially or emotionally or acted like a responsible parent.

When you’re dating a man without kids

We heard recently from a single mom by choice with a three-year-old daughter who’s in a long distance relationship… but with an unexpected complication.

How to marry the wrong guy

Seventeen years ago, Anne Milford called off her first wedding.

[...]

Will you ever get married again?

When Rachel at Single Mom Seeking asked a while back if any of you think about getting married again, your raw honesty and candor awed us. “You’d think I’d be sour on the whole idea,” commented Solo Mother. “But I’d like to find someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. I [...]

Did you break up with the “right” person?

We’ve both had our share of break-ups. We know that you have, too. But what happens when you run into an ex again, years later? Perhaps you’ve spent all this time haunted by a small nagging doubt — or uncertainty — about your contribution to this particular break-up, especially when you were the one who [...]

Tweeting for love

For the record, Twitter didn’t grab our attention right away. After all — or so we thought — it’s enough to keep up with the minutiae of our own lives.
