Posted on September 28, 2009 · 16 Comments
There’s a lot of chat about single parents in the blogosphere at the moment. Notsupermum and Rosie Scribble have written eloquently on the upsides of solo parenting, while MyShitty20s is talking openly about the downsides.

Well, that might have been what he said, there was a bus going past at the time - it's entirely possible he was talking about my secret desire to work for the Forestry Commission (true story). Anyway, lots of people have been in touch asking how they can get a bigger audience, how … [Read more...]
