I'm not a single mom, but when my kids were little, my husband was an airline pilot, so I was alone alot!

An exersaucer is great for a child Isabella's agen. I would put my kids in it when I showered, when I cooked dinner and any time I just needed them entertained and confined. I used it until both of my boys were around two. As they got older I would put the exersaucer in front of baby einstien video or whatever tv program would keep their attention while I showered etc.

My hats are off to all of you single moms. I grew up with a single mom and I never appreciated all her sacrifices and challenges until I became a parent myself. Even though my husband travelled alot I still could not compare myself to my mom because I wasn't having to worry about where the money was coming from, who would take care of the kidsif they were sick, bills, food, shelter, etc. On my hardest days I still call her to say how amazed I am at what a wonderful job she did and I always tell her how sorry I am for all the thankless times when I was growing up.
