Time away with friends, or “me” time alone just to chill are times that come few and far in between. As a single parent, there is no such thing as “me” time.
Sometimes I look at it as always having a date, a companion or someone to confide in. But then there are those times that I want an adult’s perspective; those times when I want to know the person I am speaking to knows what the hell I am talking about.
The sad part is when my five year old says something that an adult would actually say. Those are the times that I insist on finding an adult to talk to and another kid for my son to play with. The last thing I want is to stress him out with my adult problems, and possibly force him to grow up so fast that he cannot relate to other kids.
I think it is definitely important for single parents to take time out for them, not just for their sake, but for the sake of their kids. Although you sure miss the hell out of them when their gone :(
