As a single mother for the last decade i agree the day to day grind is hard but its the fact you have no back up - no cavalry who will ride in, no voice at the end of the phone to comfort you. You are literally alone and have to make all decisions with no support or advice. Thats what makes it hard

I'm loitering early as 14yo cooked tapas for tea. It took her an hour and 45 and she announced it 'tasted like disappointment' and has now retreated into her phone). It was delicious btw, just too much flavour due to fried onions.. #ConfinedCocktails

I went out for tea after work with an old work colleague at a pub and had a pint because of habit (when i used to do this sort of thing). Really regretted not having a cuppa...
