Successful single parents

As a single parent, is absolutely vital that you schedule downtime in your life to rest, recuperate and refuel. Start by marking out only two "dates" with yourself during the next four weeks. If necessary, schedule a babysitter, or swap child care duties with a friend. Then, when the time arrives, go out and do something you enjoy: take a yoga class, go sporadic or see a movie.

Also, try to give yourself a night per week to undo the work, the tasks and duties and do something for yourself after the kids have gone to bed: take a bath, read a book or catch up with a friend on the phone. build these small pockets of "me time" in your life will help you maintain your strength you need to raise their children.
