Aimee’s blog post on the new baby bubble rang true for me, yet I couldn’t help but think what I would have done if I hadn’t had the support of my partner in those crucial first two weeks. Jamie even said to me in hindsight he shouldn’t have taken the second week of paternity leave, but even with that second week I wasn’t ready to be a parent on my own. I had a vaginal birth and needed stitches but it was otherwise uncomplicated, imagine if that had been a C-section… how would I have coped? The answer is, I wouldn’t have.

Becoming a single mum, the baby steps I’m taking
Totally agree. Rev T has gone away for the week so I'm flying solo. The next person who goes all Daily Mail about single parents will be getting a piece of my mind! It's hard enough with two of you. Single parents are awesome!

Aw bless you, I feel your pain! My husband is deployed for 4 months and having to cope on my own while he’s gone is awful! It’s getting easier but I don’t know how I’d manage if I had to do this full time.

My husband travels with work from time to time and whilst I often joke life isn't too different, I secretly wonder how on earth single parents do it – hat's off, that is some hardcore parenting x Thanks for linking up to #CoolMumClub
