I have a 4-year old daughter. I can't exercise in the morning before work, I then drop her off at nursery and go straight to work, leave and (the only exercise I get) speedily walk the 1.5 miles to my car, drive to collect her, get home cook tea, bath & then bed. I can't nip out for a run (wouldn't do on dark evenings even if I could) or join a dance class. Yes I've done the doing weights thing in my lounge and even tried a few fitness dvd's but can't have the sound up as my daughter wakes up. Unless someone invents time travel, I'm at a loss to know when single parents "do exercise" - any ideas? I whole heartedly agree with Jules (25 Nov 09). I have a 4-year old daughter.

But I do think diet, fitness, exercise and all that stuff are things we still as single mums worry about. So ok , lets get this section redone with all the single mums point of views and ideas. I will collate everyones suggestions and get this whole section redone. Please email me with your ideas of how single mums really manage to exercise, diet and find the time to get a smear of foundation into their busy schedules. ( for any of those who like me cant remember what foundation is let alone mascara, its the stuff in your makeup bag thats probably covered in dust that you use to put on your face ) You are right its not one of the better articles.

I am, of course, a single parent. I work full time. My son is at school. When do I do this exercise? Before work? Yes, of course cos my 4 year old can get himself up and dressed whilst I go for a run! Lunchtime? yeah right, who gets a lunch break these days? Aftework? Err, no cos thats when I will be picking my worn out little boy up, making dinner, doing bath time etc etc In the evening? Yeah sure. I will just ask my partner to watch him... Ooops! Silly me! Sorry, but this is just too annoying. This site is intelligent and reflects our lives, but this just looks like a copy & paste from a beauty magazine Arghhhh
