Mike and Carol made it look so easy: Venerable sitcom The Brady Bunch began with the merging of two single-parent-headed families at a comically chaotic wedding.

And when did the pair find time to go on a date, let alone build a relationship? It’s as true in 2008 as it was in the ’60s: Single parents don’t have it easy.

You article touched in so many aspects of my life; I am a single, full-time mother, employer and student and although, I agree NYC is one of the greatest city to have a child; It can also be very isolating and costly. I struggle with all of the topics illutrated in the article. I thanked god for my family, friends and the wonderful school my daughter goes to. As a single, divorse parent I am now learning to take care of myself and enjoying the beauty of having a healthy and beautiful girl.

i'm glad this article was written. i am linking to this on a website myself and my boyfriend launched in april called www.hugemistake.net
we're two single parents (with children the same age) who met last year and have been telling our unique story on how we met and have been updating daily our lives since then.
again, thanks for posting this. single parenting isn't easy and can be isolating. every little thing helps!

Thank you for shedding light on such a large demograpic that feels like such an island when you are going through it. It is nice to know that you are not alone and share advise on making it a little easier to be a single parent in 2008.
