This week Ang is diving into the subject of childcare, in its various forms. Moving from co-parenting to single parenting comes with many challenges. But it also comes with many logistical changes that aren’t always apparent when you are first going through the process of divorce. The biggest of these is, who will look after your children when you and your partner are not available? In this episode, Ang breaks down the many childminding challenges she encountered and how she worked through to find solutions that worked for everyone

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In a marriage when you are unable to collect your children from school, your partner can do it. However this is not always the case once you have been through a divorce. Ang recollects the many aspects of her life that were affected by this change and how she overcame them.
• Reluctantly, Ang advertised for a childcarer. And, luckily, she found an angel. She talks about coming to this decision and the unexpected joy it brung to both her and her children.
• Once Ang recovered from her divorce and started dating again she realised that leaving her children with different babysitters every week was both expensive and unsettling. So, she wrestled with the idea of leaving them home alone. She discusses her thought process and the benefits of the decision she made.

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

“The right carer doesn’t just look after your children, they give you the gift of knowing your children are safe.”

“Sometimes we need somebody that isn’t us to show us what to do.”

“When you’re a single parent your time with your children becomes more precious. Make the most of it.”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

 

Do I Really Hate Men?

 

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside.

 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

 

My mission -to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

 

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.
