As a single parent,the role of a parent is a great responsibility because it will reflect on us the behavior of our child.We must mold our children into a better person and to do it we must know how to deal with our kid's needs and discipline.I am a single parent and sometimes I am really having trouble disciplining my son and supporting him.But my son motivates me a lot and just by looking at him.All of my pains and tiredness is wiped away.

I love being a mom. I have one 8 yr. son. Its tough sometimes being a single mom. but thankfully I have my mom who gives me advice on what to do or teach him when I just can't get through to him. I don't want to yell so I put him in time out and think later how to teach him better. It am trying homeschooling this year with him, and yes I enjoy it most of the time. I am still trying to keep his attention focused. He likes to use the excuse "my teacher let me do this last year" I say to that, I am the teacher and these are my rules. That's a tough one for him to grasp. Anyways I am glad to have a son. He is smart and kind to others.

It's not that hard. It comes naturally without formal training. I couldn't believe I would be a good mother as I used to be a happy-go-lucky person. Motherhood gives a different kind of fulfillment. No matter how tough life is, I would still choose to be a mother.

from disciplining to taking care of them to giving them equal time and attention and everything is hard.. i have 3 kids.. sometimes they demand things all at the same time.. if only i could do 3 things at the same time i will.. at the end of the day, we, moms are tired and exhausted, but by just looking at my kids, watching them laugh play and hearing them I LOVE YOU is all worth it.. i love being a mom..

Totally agreed with you. Having a baby is a great joy - that is why
we call baby , 'bundle of joy' . Bringing up baby is truly
an enriching experience. Many parents decides who should play the
kind and good role, and another one playing disciplinary role. Have
you heard on this whereby the mum will play the understanding and
kind role, meanwhile the daddy is the disciplinary one
Personally I learned a lot when bringing up my son. I believed I 'learned so many things together with him.

Being a responsible parent is quite a hard thing to do, to provide for all the necessary things and support they need as they grow. The joy of it all is that you're able to see them evolve, guiding them and helping them realize what life is all about.
