Answer 6

Well the dating might be a little to much on top of everything else.  But just remember God never gives us more than we can handle.  So get yourself organized, eat right and exercise so that you have energy, set aside time everyday for your kids with no tv, cell phones, e-mail ect.  When they grow up, they will be proud of you and see what a strong mom you are.

I'm a single mom of 2, work full-time, finished school, and have been in a wonderful relationship for the past 1.5 years.... my house isn't always clean, but who cares, nobody's is!

Answer 7

Yes.   Our survival instinct kicks in gear.   It's hard, but very doable.   My aunt raised 7 children by herself when husband died.   This is coming from a woman who lost everything that came over to the state from another country.   You have to do whatever it takes to live.

Answer 8

My mom did it. =D And I love her more then anything.

Answer 10

I am doing some of those things and just recently changed my schedule around.  I am not dating because it allows me to focus on my kids more and finish my college degree.  It gets overwhelming at times and you just have to remember prorities.  No matter what, if your kids are healthy and nurtured, you are a superhero!

Answer 11

I'm glad you can do it all.  I have tried but I seem to only be able to pull off part time work and part time college.  No childcare, I bring my son to work with me since it's a daycare and have family watch him while I am at school.  Also, I don't have my own car so that makes things even more difficult.
