Single parents with careers

Just wanted to offer my experience: My kiddo is all grown up now but I was a single parent working full time. It wasn’t easy but one thing I made a priority was communication. I made sure to keep open lines of communication... where I explained things to him on a level he could comprehend and that my son always felt like he could talk to me about anything. He is thriving as an independent adult, he is able to use his abilities in communication to network and learn, building and adding to his talents and skills and creating opportunities for himself to follow his dreams and he is happy and confident in his life. So I guess in spite of all the things I certainly got wrong, I did get something right 🙃 Just do the absolute best that you can and know that you gave it your all and did your best and things will probably turn out just fine 😁 I lost my excess weight and started exercising for the first time in my life in part to be a good role model for my kid and I have maintained for 6 years and plan to keep going. Now in my 40’s I have all the time to dedicate to myself and I’m having way more fun than when I was in my 20’s or 30’s! 😎

This is me too! I am also a single parent with a demanding career and struggling to find time to think about what I eat plus regular exercise.
