This is every parent's dilemma - single or not! Crying babies wake up toddlers and the rest of the house. It's reassurring to know that everyone manages - even if they are a little tired. Single parents need outside support because they haven't got a spouse to talk things over with. One way for you to cope better is to join a mom's group - look for one that is geared to single moms or that has a lot of single moms attending it. Often these are mother-baby groups so you andyour toddler can have some fun as well. Also, there are counseling centers that you might be able to access to get some regular advice about how to manage two small children on your own. Don't try to do it on your own. You and your kids will do best if you get the support you need.
