Single mums UK

need some single mama friends please

My child’s dad didn’t give money on the day he was supposed to. He said it will be a week late. I had to ask for it to get it a week later. He said he only had half. We had a convo about how he can’t keep giving half and when he feels like it and some more. His response was “I’m doing what works for me” 😑 It annoys me so much that men get this option and we should be grateful for ‘what they can provide’. It was also followed by, “I spend money on our child every time I see him” welcome to my daily life then mate. Huff. Anyone else deal with this crap?

my sons dad has him every other weekend, friday evening to sunday evening, i have asked for £50 a week from him. he came to me and told me he didn’t think that was anough so was going to give me £150 every 2 weeks. however, i haven’t received a single penny from him. every week its another excuse. when he does have his son his mum pays for nappies, wipes, food, she’s bought all the toys he has there and the clothes i’ve given from my house. he doesn’t pay anything to live at his mums either as he keeps giving her excuses too. i want to go through cms but i don’t think i would get anything here either as he can’t keep a job. what can i do?

Don’t need advice on how to fix it. Think just needed to vent to someone who gets it while I get my 2 minutes on the toilet

Feel robbed of the whole motherhood experience :/

Don’t enjoy it, am shattered, feel awful for my toddler that I loathe days fully alone with no childcare. I’ve lost myself for so long.

Hey everyone, I have a 14 month old son who I’ve been a single mum to since finding out I was pregnant 💙 I feel like I’m finally ready to take the leap and let someone into our lives. I miss having the adult companionship. The only downside is free time, my son sees his dad on a Sunday 10-4 and otherwise I’m either working or mumming!

How do we do it? I don’t want men around my house or knowing my address for that matter until I’m confident in them. Simply to protect my son. Are there men out there that will accept Sundays only? I feel like I’m asking the world when I know it’s so simple? Any stories or advice are greatly appreciated 🫶🏻
