My fiancé went away yesterday for 3 weeks. I have a 9 day old baby, just that one night and all of today by myself has given me huge respect for single parents. I'm a temporary single mum while he's away and I'm exhausted seeing to my sons every need by myself. I am struggling to take care of myself or the house as all my focus has to be on my baby! All you single mums (or dads) out there seriously, you are doing amazing and anyone who judges should live one day in your shoes. Single parent life is hard work!
