The Single Parent Survival Kit

(Playing every role. Some days, badly.)

Single parenting means playing every role at once: chauffeur, chef, homework helper and referee to one small human. These are the things that make it a little easier. The mornings, the admin, the handovers, and the bits that are just for me, because the lead needs a break too. None of it makes it easy. All of it makes it lighter.
