Solo Parenting
I think that no one ever expects to have to do this whole parenting thing alone, I know I certainly didn't! It's a weird one because of course I'm not fully alone in this and I'm fully aware I'm very lucky to have both sets of grandparents close by who help me out a tonne! But even with their help, the reality is that I am a solo-parent! I wanted to share here some of the struggles that I have as a solo-mom in the hopes that if you've come across this page it will help remind us all that we are not alone in this, and that we are all doing our best and that means we are doing an amazing job!
