I am recently divorced and live in CA where rent is very high. Really all I can afford right now is a one-bedroom apartment, and I'm wondering about the ethics and do-ability of this living situation. Any other single moms ever had to share a one bedroom apartment with their kiddos? How does...

I've been put in a tough situation. DD is 4 years old. Her father has always been in-and-out of her life. He currently lives in a different state far away from us. Back in August he stopped calling (phone visitation set-up for once a week). Today, he finally called and left a message saying...

DS is 5 and DD is 2. I have 50/50 join custody of DS and DD is from my current relationship. DS has been in counseling for a long time now and he is violent toward his sister, completely defiant, destructive of household property. I feel like some of this stems from the fact that at his father's...

So, the He's Just Not that into You book says never ask a man out; if they reallly like you they will ask you out. Then this mommy blog type thing with dating advice says (from a woman) that men rarely ask women out and they like it when women ask them out and you need to make the first move. I...

How early do you wake up? Is it before or with your kids? If before, what do you use that time for? What time do you go to bed? I'm just wondering. For the new year, I've decided to establish goals, and seriously focus and work on them. That includes getting up early instead of staying in bed...

Hi everyone, I used to come on MDC all the time when my oldest was a baby and a little with my youngest (they are now 7 & 3) I'm back now beacuse I can't think of a better place to get support from like minded mothers. I've been with my DP (D does not mean darling in this case!) for what would...

So my ex is very controling and manipulative. We were broken up for over a year and he managed to coerce me into moving back in with him two months ago. So for two months I had to stay in a house and only leave when he would let me go grocery shopping. He made it where the daycare assistance and...

My ex and I don't exactly get along, but are doing much much better than we have before. I'm thinking about getting him and his wife a holiday present from ds and I (they teach yoga and I saw this really cool book on the anatomy of yoga). It seems it would be a nice gesture. The problem is i'm...
