Certainly we do understand what you're going through.


I think the difference between someone who is simpy single and someone who is single with children is that you will tend to be in different places.


When all I do is kid-related activities and work, I don't meet many single people.

Hey there megans-


I can guarantee that many of the boardies understand just what you're feeling!! Some days it just seems like there are no "free" people around!


With the stats saying that over 50% of the country are single, sometimes it's hard to find them because (IMO) not all of those single people are actively out looking for other singles. I think many of the singles are single by choice- and NOT looking to change that status! So you won't find them out and about, looking for an end to their singlehood.


I get you though! There are days when it seems like everywhere I look, there are mom-and-dad families EVERYWHERE and I'm left feeling like I'm missing out on something with my mom-only family. But then I remember what it was like in the mom-and-dad family I had with the ex... and I realize that I AM in a better place.


Just keep on getting out. You may find yourself in a situation one day

We all have moments like these. I think the others are right - most single people are in a different walk from us. They do not live in the suburbs, attend school and kid functions, etc.

Here's what I've found - at least where I live.
