I'm a single mother, so I know what you mean.
I've find it hard at times. Right now I want to eat. I think it's just easy to give in when you're caring for children. So, I would say be prepared for that.
I just read a good post on this site about how to keep going, you might want to scroll down and find it.
I would say, try to plan some activities ahead of time. things that wear out your child and reserve your energy. Go outside as much as possible. bring a blanket to the park and sit out there with books. get videos....coloring books....
have things organized as much as possible with food for family. so that you don't have to think about it.
give yourself some alone time, bed early, naps if possible, lots of baths!!! they really help.
expect to want to go off. and make a list of reasons you should stay on it. pin it up. look at it. remember.

Hi suttonmom1,

Plan your meals ahead of time as much as possible.

Plan everything ahead of time as much as possible.

Don't fret when plans go awry.

Try to go "by the book" as much as possible. Re-read it multiple times.

Stay involved in this forum during your MC.

Read the FAQs for detox stages and other great posts. Also read the R and R/N posts.

Expect to detox, as this is a cleanse. You'll likely "feel" and "know" that you are detoxing. Grin and bear it, SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) and bear it, lemonade and bear it, yadda yadda.

Always, always.. take it one DAY at a time. Your mind and body will be better off by the end of each day.
