What is single mum life like with a teenager?
So I am a single mum of a 6 year old. Definitely gets better and easier as he gets older.
People say "it does not get easier, it just gets different" and I cannot agree and find that saying irritating. Personally, I find it way harder constantly running after a toddler, being constantly "on", etc. compared to this stage right now.
Right now we had a rough month with lots of sickness and little sleep. So during these times I am wondering when does it really get better.
Can single mums of older children (age 12 to 18) chime in? I am specifically interested how daily life with a teenager is when you are a single mum. What are the pros and cons?
Do you have your own life and hobbies again? Or does your life still revolve around your child just differently?
Thank you!
