SOLE PARENTING

Being a sole parent is never easy. I have four children; Hayley - aged 13, Corey - aged 12, Tamika - aged 9 and Misty - aged 7. I have been on my own with the four children since Misty was a baby. In that time I have undertaken full time study at a TAFE College, I have successfully run my own business, I have nursed Corey through two bouts of pneumonia (he was in hospital twice). I have worked full time in a computer store as a salesperson, receptionist. And I have run night classes for adults through Adult Education Centres, writing my own notes, preparing the classes, installing the software on the PC's, etc.

I have a lot of energy and I don't sleep much. My body doesn't need much sleep. I do most of the work at home myself as my children don't help me out much - mainly my fault, as it's easier to do the stuff yourself than to put up with squabbling children, who argue about whose turn it is to wash the dishes, dry the dishes, prepare the lunches, etc.

My children are very normal children. They have access with their father and their father and I have always maintained a good friendship, which helps when we need to communicate about a problem the children are having. I used to worry that Corey would grow up with effeminate ideas or attitudes through being raised in a totally female household. No fear there!! He is all male and very normal - naughty, arrogant, beastly to his sisters, a teaser and annoyer of anyone female in the house.
