7 Tips to Manage Your Life Successfully as a Single Mother
5. Don’t amass any sort of debt
One of the key ways to maintaining stable finances and being sure about your future is to reduce the amount of debt that you have. Keep repaying all your loans and credit card payments so that over time, your debt reduces to zero. Apart from your mortgage repayments, there should ideally not be any other burdensome payments harassing you every month. Stop yourself from splurging on your credit card and don’t get lured by loan offers or opportunities to increase your credit limit.
6. Give yourself a holiday at least once a week
Give yourself a holiday from your busy routine at least once a week. Some time off from your hectic schedule will allow you to recuperate from your busy life as a single mother. You can do this by dropping your kids off at their grandparents’ while you go out and enjoy the day by yourself. You can go to the salon, get a massage, catch a movie or simply meet your friends. Reward yourself on this holiday so you can once again be geared up for another busy week.
7. Don’t allow the trauma of your divorce to affect your children
If you let the trauma and pain of your divorce affect your children; they will have bad memories for a lifetime. It will affect them emotionally and psychologically. Safeguard their mental well being by avoiding a show of emotions or talking badly about your ex-husband when they are around.
