"Many parents will experience being solo at one time or another. It can happen for a short stretch with wife needing a mom's time out or the husband having to go off to work in a land far, far away. It can happen for a longer period until you find that "love is lovelier the second time around" or maybe you can swing it solo for the remainder of your life. Whatever situation you find yourself in, this ultimate survival guide for single parents will help you through the rough patches of solo parenting and bring you from pain point to a relief peak with your humor and sanity intact."
