Do you celebrate YOUR independence?

If there’s one thing that Dr. Leah loves to remind me, it’s this: kids grow up fast! Do you know what she means? Before we know it, our children are in high school (some of you are there already!). And then, they’re off to whatever their next step might be … college, job training, the [...]

Sunshine: A real life tale of single parenthood and adoption

When we heard about this brand new documentary called Sunshine – which premieres TODAY — we knew that we had to tell you all about it. The filmmaker’s story is riveting: “I was born in 1975, two years after Roe v. Wade,” says filmmaker Karen Skloss.  “My father was apparently a cowboy and a ladies’ [...]

Are long distance relationships the ideal?

We’ve been closely following the long-distance relationships of a handful of single parent bloggers — and gushing all the way!

What if your kids don’t like him?

Some of you have told us that you started dating again during the holiday season — and we’re thrilled for you! One divorced mom, however, needs some feedback about her recent romantic complication.

What does your kid’s teacher need to know?

We recently heard from a young man who’s about to launch his elementary school teaching career this fall. He’s very enthusiast, but he candidly he told us: “I don’t know anything about single parent families. So, I’m reaching out to both of you as experts. I want to do a super job for all my [...]

We’re now dating exclusively. And we’re very happy, except for this one issue: Both of [...]

Is your ex a playmate or a parent?

Thanks to Kristin from Singlemomatwork for recently highlighting a co-parenting issue that plagues many of us. Kristin hit on a sensitive topic that we’ve heard many of you bring up here: your ex’s parenting style is very different from yours. You name it, but neither of you see eye-to-eye on: Kid-appropriate movies (Is your toddler [...]

Your kids get all the love and attention — but how about you?

We wish we could say that a few months into single motherhood, we smiled, got back on our feet, and started dating again. But that would be a downright lie. Dr. Leah, the newly single mom of two young children, put every ounce of energy into completing a doctoral program in psychology in record time. [...]

Sneaking a date into your bedroom?

Did that get your attention? If you are currently on a no sex hiatus, this is probably one of the thoughts that’s keeping you stuck: OMG! Sneaking a date into my bedroom would be a terrible thing to do! My kids would be scarred for life! And, there could be a bit of truth there, [...]
