Big Kids: Jacinta Tynan's Golden Rules For Single Parents

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises! Being a single parent isn't easy. It takes a toll on every aspect of your life.  But is it possible to be empowered by solo parenthood? Is there an upside that society fails to recognise? Andrew is off this week, so we have invited a friend of the show and single mum, Jacinta Tynan to guest host today's episode. Jacinta shares with us the four biggest things she's learned as a single mother and her best advice for anyone going through it.  Plus on, parenting mentors, is it for single parents to do it all?  THE END BITS LINKS Jacinta Tynan's book, The Single Mother's Social Club is out now!  GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
