Hi Mary
Do you know if they are nightmares or night terrors? Have you ever heard of
Night Terrors? My daughter was plagued by them for years. they are indeed
terrifying.

Hi Mary,
I well know how trying this can be. I have children,grandchildren and keep
foster children between abuse and placement. I have dealt with some very
bad nightmares, just bad dreams, and horrible night terrors. I got results
from keeping to a schedule, a clear bedtime routine (about 30 min prior to
bedtime), praying, and using an all natural 'homathpic' remedy for babies &
child sleep issues. It is made by (Hylands) and is for bad dreams,
nightmares, etc.. It comes in instant dissolving tablets that cannot cause
any harm. I promise they work. You can get which ever one you want. They
come under different names. May want to try and see which one works best
per child.
Hylands are bad dream tablets. They also have teething, colic, earache,
sniffles & sneezes, all kinds. They all work miracles. You can get them at
Kmart, Walmart, Walgreen's, almost everywhere, in the baby area. There is
also a wonderful website at www.nativeremedies.
<http://www.nativeremedies.com > com, under child health; they have "Bad
dream sprinkles', 'Serenite Jr', 'Triple complex sleep tonic', 'serenite
plus' all for this problem.
I wish you the very best. And a deep restful sleep for your baby. Cindy

Hi Kristy,
Maybe you're not giving yourself much credit. Not everybody wants to spend every minute with their families. If your ex is on scheduled visits, then ask your friend(s) ahead of time and to make plans to do something. I think you find that they would be open to spend some time with you (if they are your friends). Granted there might be some time constraints on their parts, but anytime you spend with someone is less time you have to fill for yourself. If they then find that it was a good time, then you could possibly suggest making it a regular event. Just give it a try, it can't hurt.

Any other single moms out there? I devote so much time to my kids, when they are gone at their dads I'm a little lost and lonely. All my friends are married with families so I feel bad asking them to hangout. Anyone have any tips on how to be alone but not lonely?

I just wanted to Thank You and compliment you on your suggestions. I am a Single Mom also but I don't have a dad involved. My daughter is 15 yrs old and she plays in the band at school. That gives me a break sometimes to do what I want. I also have become a band booster parent and it is great meeting other parents and participating in school activities.

Hi there, I am also a single mom. I remember the feeling all too well. Still happens but it gets easier. I agree...go ahead and ask...you never know who would be willing to get together, they might be looking for an opportunity to ask you but not know how, so go for it, all they can say is no I figure.

Get involve with Mom's Club, is an international group with chapters everywhere in the country. Also find a new hobby. Scrapbooking, canning,etc. This sort of things are entertaining and could be time consuming. I'm there myself. Going throu divorce. And dealing with all of it. At times I get lonely.
Give me a call sometime. Hope it gets better, prayer and time will do miracles!
Hugs,
Carolina

With my kids, I would take an old, unusual looking door key(skeleton key, etc.) and put it on a string and hang it above their bed. Then every night before bed, they would take it down and hold it while saying, "This is my dream key. When dreams turn bad, turn the key to good dreams." It worked for my kids. Let them choose the string or ribbon for it too. It makes them feel important. Hope this helps.
