Its, unfortunately (LOL), totally normal. Live is 21 mos and much the same only she says "stop it" with her finger point (uh, just like me when telling my older kids to stop, lol). I've pretty much stuck with redirecting her on to something else. ...
I think you need to look at this way... she WILL be 'alright.' But how you define alright will make you see that or not see it, kwim? She's going to hurt, especially when she wants that relationship with her mom and she just isn't getting it. And ...
IMO 30-40 hours a week is pretty good. Kids are tough and they learn to adjust - it will take time though. I think what would be harder on your kiddo is the lack of consistency between parents, so hopefully that's going ok (I'm having a heck-of-a ...
Never in my life thought I'd be divorcing, but here I am. I am a 27 year old single mama to four kids now. I married my HS sweetheart when I was 20, we got our first foster-adopt placement a couple of years later. All four of my kids are adopted/a...

What are your hobbies and interests?
haha...trying to figure that out! I love to create with my hands, have my own home based sewing business, love the outdoors, and want to rediscover my love for photography, ceramics, and actually getting enough sleep!
What type of music do you like?
Just about any type, but my radios are tuned set on 101.9 and 104.9 *Christian Alternative* most of the time.

You sound like an amazing person. I have always wanted a big family but never thought I would be doing it alone. I love the fact that you have taken in kids into your home. I would have loved to adopt a little girl or boy. Welcome to iheart. You will find alot of support here.
Welcome. I never thought I would be divorced either -- not in a million years. But here I am. This is a great site because I have learned there are so many moms who are single and amazing! I admire you for being a foster mom and adopting your kiddos. Kudos to you!
Get custody and as soon as possible. Every child deserves a mother and father, but will any mother or father do.Maybe she will straighten up. I know a mother that will straighten up and love her children with all her heart, but still will have no ...
wow! Well first of all! I feel your disappointment. My son's father was the same.. Good Job on being a great dad!! Just don't fight dirty with her.. continue to be the bigger man and you will continue to be the better role model for your children....
I was with a boyfriend of mine for a little over a year and it was pretty rough at the beginning. He really never asked me any questions or seemed to keen on getting to know me at first. I thought maybe he just did not know how or was maybe nervou...
