Welcome to our web site offering practical support for single parent mothers and fathers.

We are two regular  folk who have found ourselves single parents. We are both utterly amazed  to this day that we are in this grouping. Although we'd fight tooth and  nail to admit that this is a defining part of ourselves, we do secretly  acknowledge that recognising this fact is pretty important when it comes  to dealing with ‘stuff’.

We're  working, fun-loving, marginally eccentric, busy, smiley, mothers who don't  live with the children's father (just dogs, fish, guinea pigs and  rabbits).

Kate & Emily shine a light on:

 ABSENT DADS

Dad is nowhere to be seen . Holiday fling? one night stand?maybe he never knew that he was a dad ? maybe he did and did a runner ? Whatever happened you are on your own parentally speaking . So here is something to help you explain and talk to the children , how you can think about filling a Dad gap and how you can solo co parent or 'cola' parent for the good of your children , family and sanity .

Read this article about bringing up children with an absent dad .  Look at this Dear Kate & Emily problem from mothers bringing up children alone

 

"Kate and Emily are to struggling lone mums what Trinny and Susannah are to the sartorially challenged."  - Daily Mail Weekend Magazine

 

Kate and Emily are single parents with slightly different perspectives. Kate was left and Emily bolted.

Although they have no formal qualifications whatsoever, they do have loads of experience and a great deal of commonsense. This straight talking duo offer their special blend of empathy, encouragement, humour and advice to help you and your family move on.
