Meg Calloway, 41, is a high school art teacher and single mom by choice in Portland, Oregon. She used a sperm donor, went through this intentionally and alone, and is matter-of-fact about both.
She came to Kidz Under Construction at six months when her son Felix started waking five times a night after sleeping reasonably well for the first four months. She'd read three sleep books, all of which assumed a co-parent. She found Barbara and worked through an approach that accounted for the fact that she is the only adult in the house, every night.
Meg writes about doing it alone without making it a tragedy, the specific math of single-parent sleep deprivation, and what 'good enough' actually looks like when good enough is all you've got.
