I am single and have a 10 mth. old fost/adopt baby. He's been with me since he was 10 days old. Its been surpisingly smooth for me. The baby is amazing- he goes with the flow, for the most part.
Some things I've learned to do that make this single-parent thing doable: prepare for the next day the night before; an early bedtime for baby so there is time to clean and prep for the next day, and there is time for me; organization, organization, organization; routine, routine, routine; and, most importantly, enjoy every moment with your little one...the house will never been completely neat and the laundry rarely caught up, but so what- they are only little once!!
I am loving being a single mom; sure, there are stressful times, but this would be the case in a 2 parent household. I don't know any different, though!
Good luck, and don't stress too much. Being a single parent is SO doable, and enjoyable!
