One of the biggest dilemmas of being a single mum is the sudden inability to just ‘step out for a moment’. Who is going to look after the kids?

Some of you are lucky to have parents or friends, but some of you are from out of town, without a support network. That’s why joining - or creating- a local support group is a great idea! Find others like yourself and you can rotate babysitting favours.

There’s no cost, no guilt and you know your children are being well looked after. Also the children get to spend some time together, building their network of friends as well.
