    I have no recommendations so here in the hope someone has some suggestions. My girl is 3.5 and same circumstance that she has never met the other half of her DNA and thats fully his choice to be completely absent from her life. Occasionally she will make a comment that she doesnt have a daddy and i just confirm that and say who she does have or that she is so special to me etc. She is yet to ask anything or make any other comments but im sure its coming.

    Hi,
    I have 1 child, she is 2.5 years old. She makes me laugh daily. Today was with how sweet she was, chatting about an older man that helps out at the toddlers group she goes to with her childminder… she describes him as ‘just very wonderful.’ She adores this almost 80 year old man and their short time doing a craft each week.

    I joined this as I was hopeful for a sense of belonging. I dont feel I fit in with a lot of single parent supports as I don’t co-parent, we have absolutely zero input or contact with her ‘dad’ in any way, shape or form BUT I didn’t choose to be a single/lone/solo parent so I feel like I dont belong with that group of people either.

    Honestly, probably finances and that lack of me time is that hardest part of being a single mum that works full time.

    I enjoy not having to compromise on my parenting strategies or having to share my baby (I’m an only child clearly hahaha).

    My hobby is that I play lawn bowls. Not always relaxing depending on the level of competition but I love it and I usually have my girl there as its pretty family friendly. I gave up other hobbies when I was pregnant as most of them were all sport and exercise centred.

Covering your tracks

You may not want other people to know that you’ve been searching for information or help from OPFS.

When browsing the internet whether on a mobile phone, tablet or computer, you leave a ‘history’ trail of pages and sites you’ve visited.

It’s impossible to completely avoid being tracked online but if you’re worried about someone knowing which sites you’ve been looking at, there are some things you can do to help cover your tracks.

If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, try keeping another document or website open in a new tab or window while browsing. If someone comes in the room and you don’t want them to see what you’re looking at, you can quickly switch to another window or tab.

Deleting browsing history

You can delete the history of websites you’ve visited, but it’s important to know that if you delete your browsing history, someone else using the same device may notice.

If you share a tablet, mobile phone, laptop or computer with someone, they might notice that passwords or website addresses have disappeared from their history.
