This was last night. I picked him up from his father’s family on Monday morning after he was quarantined there for two weeks. (He was sick and so were the other family members.) We have a small apartment, but I have a huge office. I have his Xbox set up in one of the office rooms that I use...

I love being a mom to my baby boy but I really would love to not have as many responsibilities that entails with the single parent title. Like how do y’all get time to clean your house? I try with my son and he destroys a different area. Note: he’s only gonna be 2 in September. I have no...

I've spent the last year and a half creating www.JointFamilies.com - an online communication manager for separated/divorced parents. Basically, how it works is you input all your messages to the other parent(s) into www.JointFamilies.com where they are stored, when your child or children...

I’m married but separated. Father of a 2 year old daughter I take care of full time, I have baby sitters for the days I work and love being around my daughter, both of us love the outdoors and go to parks or anywhere else outdoor related when I’m able but it’s winter so that’s not an option...

None of this matters but I just wanted someone to weigh in. I have been working extra to bank time for the summer. I'll have about 70 hours of time off to use just for the summer. I overspent ($) on vacations last year and we're going on a trip in May so I don't want to take summer vacations...

Hi everyone - So in our family we have implemented a GPS tracking app for safety reasons, we are using Life 360, which worked perfectly until we found out it has plenty workarounds. Users had the option to turn it of manually inside the app without notifying anyone, also if the user turns off...

I’ll try to keep the history short: So I found out while I was pregnant, that BD had cheated on me weeks before I got pregnant. The first time he claims was just before our 2 year anniversary, and the second 8 months later. I was devastated, we were cold to each other at home, but he was...

Long post warning I am a single mom of two beautiful girls 5 and 14 months. I love them to death and I love being their mom. My 5 year old (L) is so sweet, kind, intelligent and creative. My 14 mo (G) is strong willed, sassy, sweet and loving. But G is so much more clingy and constantly up my...

My son is 3 and it takes almost 3 hours to get him to sleep. Every. Single. Night. I’ve tried a long list of “suggestions” and none seem to work. We cut screens at 5:30-6:00. Dinner and playtime then around 7:00 we start getting ready for bed. Same routine as always, start to finish. By 8 he is...
