Being parents are not easy, and it is harder to be a single parent. Especially you have to work and meanwhile you have to find time to take care of your child. It is difficult to balance family and work. Besides it, when other children who have some family activities in school, your child will feel sad because he/she just has a mom or dad but not both of them. I think this is sad thing. No matter how well you do, you can't replace your spouse anyway.

Yes, agree with you. Have double responsibility between work and take care children is a hard work. Yes, children often feel not happy when they know that they do not have complete parents. Having a complete parent will make children confident, this is one thing that difficult to solved by single parent.
But, so far. I proud of her/him who success being single parent, though they do not perfect.

Ive been a single mom for about 7 years now and I think I have done okay. Not going to lie it has been tough more times than not and especially when you dont have anyone to fall back on, I didnt have a lot of support from my family so I pretty much did it on my own and I have no idea how I survived. I suppose my sons dad has been very helpful so that has been huge. Many people are single parents here in the U.S and have full time jobs, go to school while raising their child. We as humans we learn to adapt to change and give up what we want for what we need. I had to cut back on a lot of the pleasures I once enjoyed just so my son could have the essentials. I now have a good job so I am able to pay my essentials plus a little extra here and there. Thats all I need really and my son is happy and thats all the matters

You are great. I proud of you. You can do it for long time being single parent. I know sometime it is the best way than you have a partner but you don't feel comfortable with him. And doing everything on yourself make you easy to handle than you should sharing with others.
Yes, agree with you, we should think about our need than our will, it is a good control to save our life.

i just say it that its really very difficult because handle all thing for child is very hard ,i am not say that its impossible bit slightly hard, because you have to take both responsibility of home and children and you have financially problem then you must have to do job,so you cant focus on child and its really important thing ,so its better that children live in family with mother and father if more member then its really good.
