It Takes a Villiage...

Hi
This is a fabulous idea! I am a single mother of a three year old. I work fulltime and have had the same feelings about being a single parent. Most people just don't get it! Please keep me posted about future meetings etc.

Hi! I am also a single Mom, living near downtown Chicago. This has been a difficult challenge as I made the hard decision to leave my husband and am stuck living with my mother and her husband until I can get on my feet. 'It takes a village.." is also one of my favorite sayings and I can appreciate what you are trying to establish. I am a little skittish about meeting new people, especially during such a difficult time in my life, but I left your request in my inbox for all this time as I talked myself into at least saying "Hi". I related to your message and would like to get to know other single moms with similar interests and outlooks. Good luck in building a network and I hope to hear from you.

Hi J.,

I too am a single mom of TWINS. I chose to have children even though I wasn't married and ended up with two beautiful children, Michael and Julianna. They are six months old now.

I couldn't ask for more. And it is a lot of work. I would love to meet you and other moms similarly situated. It takes a village -- and it takes survival techniques!!!

I live in southeast Evanston, so we are probably neighbors.

Hi J.,

I totally understand how consuming it is to be a working, single mom. I'm 29, work full time and have a beautiful 1 yr old baby girl. I would love to start doing new things and meeting new people. I live in the North surburbs close to the Evanston area. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi J.,
I would be interested in the group. I too am a single parent as well. I have a 2 1/2 & 4 1/2 year old. We live near the northwest side of chicago. I work full time out of our home. I have my kids in full time day care.

Great Idea!

Thanks.

Hi J.,

That sounds like a great idea. I'm interested. I live in River West (around Chicago Ave & Racine). I'm due with my first baby in April and I'm not single but we don't have any family in the area and not many friends with kids so I can relate to the need to find other people to talk to that understand!

I have heard GREAT things about babysitting COOPs. I'd be interested in that, also.

Thanks,
S.
