Hooray it’s the weekend. For any parent without a partner the approach of the weekend brings with it a bag of mixed emotions. If your children are with you for the weekend finding a window to have a social life and enjoy some adult company after the kids are tucked up offers limited options. You may be someone who is lucky enough to have discovered an A-Z of last minute babysitters that don’t charge a small mortgage but for the rest, once the story book has closed for the evening the clock ticks by very slowly.
Unless you’re a member of Singleparentfun.com that is, glass of red in hand you would be amazed at how quickly socialising on line can transform an evening and no queuing for the ladies required. Packed with like-minded people, browsing through the message boards to see who is starting the evening’s discussion instantly confirms you are part of a community. A simple posting of ‘who’s home too tonight?’ can weave it’s way into hours of good banter with more members joining in the threads as they return home from various activities.
