Hi joc and welcome to One Space from me 
.
I remember the long drawn out summer holidays, when everyone else seemed to be doing interesting activities and then there was just me and my girl. But I have since found that there are plenty of other single parents in the same position as myself.
Some people on these boards have suggested joining your local church as there is always something going on for the little ones and adult company. If that is not good for you, how about looking up on meetups. (you can change the area that you look at where it says Explore Meetups) and see if there is anything in your area, or you could think about starting up your own group. 1 in 4 parents are raising their children alone, just in your local area, there must be a few people feeling as you are. Also what about going to your local health clinic and seeing if they are advertising anything for parents?
Hello Joc
Welcome to One Space. As for coming from a single parent family, well Barack Obama didn't do too badly, did he?
Yes it is hard when everyone else seems to have a partner but surely in the school holidays there is time during the day when one parent is with the children and therefore you could all get together and be back home at teatime?
Have a look here (click) for some school holiday ideas.
How long have you been a single parent and do they see their dad?
