Single Parent Guide
Hair and Makeup by Sylvester Castellano for Bernstein & Andriulli; Models: (left, top to bottom) Mary Kate Malat/Wilhelmina kids; Alexa Barr/Abrams artists; Nicolet Matifiak/Abrams artists. (right, top to bottom) Jake Sherman/Cesd; Andre Confuorto/Wilhelmina kids; Evan Dickstein/Wilhelmina kids.Mike and Carol made it look so easy: Venerable sitcom The Brady Bunch began with the merging of two single-parent-headed families at a comically chaotic wedding. But what we want to know is, what happened before the lady met the fellow? How did Mike swing a full-time job and parent a trio of boys? How did Carol support her blond brood? And when did the pair find time to go on a date, let alone build a relationship? It’s as true in 2008 as it was in the ’60s: Single parents don’t have it easy. We asked solo moms and dads, as well as a panel of experts, how to get it all done and still keep a grip on life. Here’s what they had to say.

I have been a single mom from the beginning. My first trip with my son was when he was 2 months old to Atlanta, since we have travelled to Hawaii,Paris, London, Brazil, and Canada and lots of domestic destinations. He loves to fly and now that he is older 5 years his appreciation for the experience is outstanding.
Single parenting takes much creativity and an open mind. I have a 9 yr old beautiful daughter. With all the obstacles I've encountered, I've realized I'd rather be a single mother, than no mother at all. I would like some information on traveling as a single parent. That's one journey I have yet to embark on. Thanx :)
Since long time ago I have this idea in sharing a mutual benefit between me (who need a marriage visa) to any single parent lady who want to trust her child(ren) to be raised together with a truly kind, kids lover and filanthrophy guy like me. I'm an Indonesian biologist Living in Bali Island. I graduated from the best university in Indonesia 7 years ago. I do love children and for four years I've been doing a lot helping my widowed landlady taking care her little two sons. I really looking for a woman who really need help in parenting together for her child(ren) through marriage (so that I can be relocate to your country and live with/near you). Please, any ladies interested in this idea, please do not hesitate to contact me and I would really welcome if you need to chat and keep in touch. Please send email to * littlewings76 -at- Yahoo com *
You article touched in so many aspects of my life; I am a single, full-time mother, employer and student and although, I agree NYC is one of the greatest city to have a child; It can also be very isolating and costly. I struggle with all of the topics illutrated in the article. I thanked god for my family, friends and the wonderful school my daughter goes to. As a single, divorse parent I am now learning to take care of myself and enjoying the beauty of having a healthy and beautiful girl.
i'm glad this article was written. i am linking to this on a website myself and my boyfriend launched in april called www.hugemistake.net we're two single parents (with children the same age) who met last year and have been telling our unique story on how we met and have been updating daily our lives since then. again, thanks for posting this. single parenting isn't easy and can be isolating. every little thing helps!
Thanks, very informative.
