@petalee then I am a single solo mum. The father is not involved and irregularly sees my child. Often doesn't have contact for months at a time. There is no time off. I think it is a misconception that single mothers have regular time without their children when the kids are with their father - A LOT of fathers don't see their kids regularly, if at all. In these cases single mums also hold all the responsibility, including financially and making important decisions. I can imagine being a solo mum would be exhausting and frustrating. I am guessing most people don't think to ask solo mums if they need help. My friend who has an 'in-house' involved husband/father needs help sometimes too. We don't seem to be so willing to put ourselves out a little to help others these days. I hope you do have support and have compassion and appreciation for yourself. Best wishes
