The best tips for being a parent is to read a lot and learn a lot about parenting and techniques. There are so many ways to get this information both online, in books and forums. I loved attending to talks and presentations on parenting and came away with useful tips and techniques.

Being judgmental is such a waste of precious energy and time and it really is not good for a mind to be preoccupied with being judgmental. The wonderful thing about life is the variety and the different family dynamics. Always be proud of the job you do as a parent because we are all in in together!

I’m definitely not a single Mum but I have to say I find this group wonderful and can’t see any issues. I think a very big part of that is the fact that people can’t comment on other’s comments and troll them so those sort or people are not attracted to the site. I don’t interact with the Facebook site as much so am not sure what goes on there. No one knows if you’re single or not. You’re just another hard at it Mum. Keep it up 🙂

I’m not a single mum, but wanted to say how much I admire and appreciate everyone one of you that is. I don’t have a village around me, family all live in the city hours away, so even with my husband and I it can feel tricky at times. Doing it myself would take a lot. You’re all doing such a fabulous job!

I am in awe of single parents. Parenting is not easy even when you have a partner. I don’t have any tips other than to build a support network around you of extended family and friends.

I’m not a single mumma but I can definitely promise that I never judge them! I hope you don’t feel that way! Most of the single mumma’s I know are really happy and confident (at least they seem to be) being a parent is super hard so I take my hat off to anyone who does it solo! No judgement!

I am not a single mum, but I do know quite a few. And I hope that neither they or anyone on this site would feel judged for it. There are a lot of reasons why people wind up as single mums, and most single mums are doing a really tough job. I see no reason to criticise or judge.

I am a single mum of a primary school age child and i rely on my parents a lot. I also have a wonderful group of friends who are supportive and helpful when i need it. It can be hard to juggle life, being a mum and working but it is so worth it. There will always be people who judge you, that is life but you have to not let it bother you and not surround yourself with those people. I have learnt that over the years and in the end it is their loss not yours. Don’t let others upset or make you feel judged, this is your life and it can be anything you want it to be.

I’m not a single mum either but I have a couple of friends who are. I think for all of them their family is important for connection and support and I myself as a friend was always happy to have their kids. I just approach them asking if their kids would like to come over to ours to play with our kids and the mums could have a day or night off or go to work when needed. I do think the art is to accept help where you can and dare to ask help where needed (btw this is not only for single mums but for everyone)

Im not one but motherhood is not easy! I hope you or any other single mummas dont feel judged. It takes a village. My tip is definitely have a routine so day to day doesnt feel overwhelming. Prep in advance on the weekends, meal plan, and ask for help when you need!
