I've been a single mom for 5 years now. I share custody every other weekend. The time my kids are gonna with dad I use it for me time but sometimes life happens. I'm trying to get my feet wet again in the dating world and it's really hard to find someone who understands my situation. LADIES this is where I need help or suggestions!!! My 8 year old throws a fit if decide to go out for a kid free dinner or what not. When I say "fit" I mean she is crying her eyes out on the verge of a panic attack as if I'm leaving her and never coming back. There has been times where I have to sneak out or run out and I feel like the worst mom ever. I love her attachment to me but it can be ridiculous at times. I can't leave to get gas alone, I can't run to the market alone, etc. it's as if she needs to know my every move. HELP!!!

Try explaining to her "mommy is going to go here alone, and youre going to stay here and do something (whatever she does)" try not to get visibly upset with her behavior or punish it. Reward her any time shes not being clingy. Maybe tell her that after your adult trip alone, you'll come back and do something special with her. Also, whoever youre leaving the kids with should have something to keep them busy and excite them so when youre away they dont have their minds on you.

Try having her get involved in activities outside the house. Like Girl Scouts, a sport or the YMCA/Boys and Girls club. I agree with trying not to get upset or frustrated. Perhaps a counselor could help her with coping mechanisms. Good luck girl, that's a tough one! @triish,

@kambam, Thanks!! I have sat her down and said hey mommy is going out just for dinner and will be back, she's ok with it and will ask who's going so I do tell but when it's time for me to walk out that door lol all hell breaks loose. But I will definitely try the rewarding option👍🏼

@brownsugarluv, I have really thought about counseling too! If rewarding her for good behavior doesn't help I think I'll make that my 2nd option. Thanks :)

Haha good luck! My little sister was like that up until around that age. She would chase my mom's car if she drove off 😓 luckily she outgrew that.

Seriously, my mom hated those tantrums. Witnessing those, I know your pain 😂

Teen Mom I have so many thoughts about this season thus far. Where is Farrah? I thought she was supposed to be in it? Anywho. Tyler....why are you harping on Caitlynns weight? I would punch you in the penis if I was her. Leave the poor girl alone about her weight! Also I know your pain with the adoptive parents...you have every right to be angry. Amber...Gary is not worth your tears. Seriously. Ryan...your a douchebag. There just is no other word for you. I hope Maci has a girl.

What about the past?

I would like to hear your thoughts everyone. I'm here just thinking about all my blessings and how far I've come from leaving him with only $300 and a bag of documents my 2 kids some clothes and God! I know years pass but my mind goes back to that moment as if it was yesterday where I felt helpless and alone 3 years ago. But the messeges was yesterday.

I literally want to kill my friends daughter. We live together And her daughter destroys EVERYTHING and they don't do anything about it. I would kill my daughter if she did that kind of stuff !!!! It's a school night , and I heard her awake. So I get up to pee and check on her ... This child got into my sephora and MAC makeup and DESTROYED it all ! Every ounce of it is all over the walls , the floors , the shower curtain , mirror .... EVERY WHERE !! That stuff is not freaking cheap. She's 7 years old... So she KNOWS BETTER!!!!!!!

Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill? He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over tonight and run it by him...
