I spent a fair few years running BB as a single parent (and the rest, feeling like one until now). Childcare is so important. I didnt have it a great deal, but wish I did a bit more as I felt worse living in a bomb of a place most of the time because I had to work hard - my income was it for the most part - no child support was being paid. Some months it actually cost me to run my business and I became quite nervous!
I felt so guilty being a stresshead in a messy house and no help.
One thing I highly recommend is a regular cleaner - weekly or fortnightly. $50-75 for two to three hours (I figure my time is worth more than that!) and your house is sparkling. Bathroom, kitchen, floors. Such huge therapy for meI found mine through Gumtree and they were awesome.
