Being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs in the entire world, especially when you are in on it alone. I don't know how many times I could split myself into 10 to be able to handle all the demands of my boys, cook, clean, go to work, and still have time for myself. Ridiculous sometimes...
So where is the balance? They always say, "Make time for yourself?" If that means doing dishes at 9 pm after the kids go to bed, I guess I am doing it... But realistically, how do single moms with more than one child and no help from the dad really create a great balance?
I would love to be an Acrobat to see how this juggling thing can really work...
Any Ideas???

To make your life easier, if your budget can still squeeze it in, get a househelp or even a relative (like your mother) to stay the night or even just the days, if only to take care of house chores.
Or if it is possible, i guess the single mom's lives are made better if they move back in their parents' house. That's what i did and my life is LOT better, because like you, i don't get help from my son's dad.
just my two cents...and I guess doing the dishes or even the laundry at 9 pm when the kids are asleep, is one of the things that single moms has to do.
the balance are tipped more at your kids' side and maybe when they're older you can have more time to yourself. hang in there, better days are yet to come. ;))
