How To Make Time For Yourself As A Single Parent

How do I make time for myself as a single parent?

As a single parent we have to be really creative with time. We need to make sure that we have time to read magazines if we wanted, to make sure we have time to do the things we did before, so we don't feel ripped off or angry about all of the limits we have now. You can set up little rituals around the house. You can set up a ritual where mommy takes a bath at 8:00, where she can read magazines, light a candle, or take some time for herself. While mommy's doing that, you go and read a book or you watch your favorite program. There's little rituals you can create which actually make it a lot more fun for the whole family, and you get to actually take care of yourself as well.
