So here we are again kids. Another day, another moment of single parenthood. How great it is to be a single parent. Like many of you, I have my kids 50% of the time. When I have them on my days, we have a blast. We play ball, I get to be a daddy taxi to all their events and school activities. We read, play cards and watch movies. Then I get to recharge my battery.
I get my kids 50% of the time, so the other 50% I get to focus on me! How great for me and for those of you who do the 50/50 split…how great for you. This is where it gets hard for some of us. What do we do when we don’t have our kids? Well, here is a list!
- Join a tennis club and learn tennis which is a very social sport
- Get active in your church and volunteer or do mission work
- Get a group of friends to go to a dinner and movie
- Host a book club at your house
- Join a health club and get active in a Body Pump or some other class
- Join a volleyball or basketball team at your local gym
Do you see a common theme? Join a group. Get involved with a group activity where you can do something with a group of people that could become your friends. Plus, if it is joining a sports team, you can get a work out, stay fit and meet friends all at the same time.
Friends and team sports keep you from moping around the house feeling sorry for yourself and missing your kids wondering what kind of “Black Magic” your ex is working on them. You laugh, but you know I am right! Get active, get involved and meet new people.
