I am a single parent of a teenage daughter. I have been divorced since 2019 and single since 2017. I restarted my career at the age of 40 when I separated. I moved with my 10 year old kiddo to a new city with new lifestyle. Life was tough but with proper support and determination, I could turn around my life. I am still work in progress and healing from what I went through. So, I want to open this forum for all single women who need support, love and a space of non-judgmental sharing. Let us build a community of understanding and togetherness. YOU ARE NOT ALONE ANYMORE(YANAA) Cheers, Sandhyaa S Pillai

It must be a tough time for you. It is not easy to watch our own children go through self- sabotage. I am authorised to talk about addiction. pls consult a therapist, counsellor or de-addiction expert to help your son. these services are not biased for single parents. the rootcause could be different but they treat us all equally.

How can one be brave in life to face any kind of situation or hurdle in life ... plz give your advice ??
Hello, being brave is important, but also remember you don't have to be too hard on yourself. It's okay to ask for help whenever required. It is also a sign of bravery.
You should always challenge yourself about the any situation that yes you can do this by any way. Way out the things in a detailed manner

My parents are looking for matches for me and I am ok with it. however I think a dating period is necessary to understand each other. How long should this period be?
It depends on your flow and compatibility in a relationship. There's no fixed time but a few months probably mught be good to get used to each other's compatibility
Anonymous-3d
I really doubt they'll agree to wait for long so maybe 7-8 months is reasonable

So sad I went for a movie with my son and when I came home I had my husband not eating food and calling me names. Just because I went out for a movie with my son . Does it happen with u - how do u deal with it
Anonymous19d
It's okay to go and enjoy with your children especially when your partner doesn't have time. You don't have to restrict yourself just because your partner doesn't have time for you!

He might also wanted to go with you both and must be calling you names out of jealousy as he missed all the fun with his family 🥰

Hi girls, I am Rachael from USA. As you all know Mother's Day is around the corner. I wanted to gift something special to my mom, something that is different and she likes it. What is the best mother's day gift one can get for under $50?

Hey Rachael! How about a personalized photo album or a spa gift set? Both are thoughtful and can be found within your budget.👍

Healthy Nutrition for My Child community profile picture
👶 Parenting

Nutrition is a corner stone for the child's physical, mental and emotional growth & development. It is crucial for the proper development of the different cognitive functions of the brain and the child's intelligence & IQ. To build a healthy long productive life, you must start early even before the child is born as the first 1000 days are crucial. It is important that the child eats all the needed food groups on a daily basis together with limiting and avoiding all those junk fast food that are eaten frequently nowadays. Understanding all different aspects of healthy eating will help parents and child caregivers make better choices for their children. When children have healthy relations with food, they can easily reduce their prevalence of many behavioral disorders and chronic diseases. التغذية هي حجر الزاوية لنمو الطفل وتطوره الجسدي والعقلي والعاطفي. وهى أمر بالغ الأهمية للتطور السليم للوظائف المعرفية المختلفة للدماغ وذكاء الطفل ومعدل الذكاء. لبناء حياة صحية طويلة ومنتجة، يجب أن تبدأ مبكراً حتى قبل ولادة الطفل لأن أول 1000 يوم تعتبر حاسمة. من المهم أن يتناول الطفل كافة المجموعات الغذائية التي يحتاجها بشكل يومي مع الحد من الوجبات السريعة التي يتم تناولها بشكل متكرر في هذه الأيام وتجنبها. إن فهم جميع الجوانب المختلفة للأكل الصحي سيساعد الآباء ومقدمي رعاية الأطفال على اتخاذ خيارات أفضل لأطفالهم. عندما يتمتع الأطفال بعلاقات صحية مع الطعام، يمكنهم بسهولة تقليل انتشار العديد من الاضطرابات السلوكية والأمراض المزمنة لديهم.more
