I know I'm not the only woman here raising children on her own, and that can be very hard when it wasn't what you planned to do. I was always lucky to have other women in my community help me, back where I'm from. I thought it might be something we could do here. Would anyone be interested in meeting on Friday mornings? We could talk about any issues, or just have a friendly chat, and maybe support each other with babysitting and other practical matters. It can get lonely otherwise, especially if you have little ones. You can bring along any children who aren't in school, and we'll keep an eye on them together.

	I'd be interested. I think it's a great idea. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wonderful! Tell me about your children - I don't think I've met them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

My oldest is Rachel. I have two Rachels, actually. Do you remember at the town meeting when Kat mentioned different versions of people? My oldest Rachel came back in time. She's an adult. My other Rachel is 12. They're both brilliant, creative and very helpful.

I also have twins, Linda and Natalie. They're both five. Natalie is very bright and already reading, very into books. She is a bit shy. Linda is also very bright, more outgoing and has the cutest sense of humour.

I had a son, Oskar, and there was an older version of Natalie here. They're both gone now. I adopted Oskar on the island and he was sent back to his birth mother on his world. The older Natalie was sent back to her time.

	I hoped you would! New babies are so precious, but also exhausting. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm not a single mom but I help with the under 5s that come for schooling; there's a section of a park on wheel 3 that I set up specifically for the little ones, we use it for school sometimes but your group would always be welcome too. (Reply to this)
