Question:
Hi Denise, No – what you have explained is perfectly normal. I hear it all the time from other parents. It’s so exhausting being a single parent, but we all need our breaks…even if we miss them. Annie Lewis Single Parent Support Group http://www.SingleParents.net
Response:
This is so true! I feel guilty when I want to just get away, but I feel so good and feel like I am a much better mom if I can get a little time to myself. Glad I am not the only one!

Am I the only one who sometimes wants a break from being mom *then* when my son goes to his father’s and spends the night I miss my son like nobody’s business. I can only imagine what it’s gonna be like when he’s grown and no longer living at home. I’m not going to create an invisible barrier around him. I don’t want my son to be an adult in his 30s who’s still living at home. I want him to be independent and one day tell me he’s ready to head out on his own, but I can only imagine how tough that is. Not looking forward to it. Denise http://www.chistell.com

By the time you have survived his teen years, I’m sure you will be more than ready to let go. Are children are only our gifts for a little while and then they move on with our blessings. The key is to make the most of the years we have with them, and to prepare them, little by little, to make it on their own. Margaret

Response:
Are the teen years *that* bad?? I never thought we were that bad with my dad, but then again . . . he might tell a different story. Denise http://www.chistell.com
Response:
I thought that the reason God made teenagersso difficult was so that you would be ready to let them go and happy to see your life settle down to a dull roar again. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > By the time you have survived his teen years, I’m sure you will be > more than ready to let go.
