Single parenting is sometimes just a case of sitting around by yourself in mild despair, not knowing what to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being a mother of two myself - and two small girls - I think that single parenting is hard.
I was divorced when my children were young, so I was a single mother for a while. It's so hard to have to do every little thing yourself and be forced to navigate the rocky emotions of motherhood alone.
I feel awful for women who are trying to raise kids on their own, with zero income and no fathers present - that's single motherhood.
You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened.
Single parent situations drive poverty and often lead to unsupervised kids. Many boys growing up without fathers often feel angry and abandoned. Thus, they seek comfort in all the wrong places.
I am a single mother - that is the reality.
There's this constant guilt that comes with parenting. You always feel like you're never enough. If you're confident in your parenting, you probably suck at it.
Single motherhood is an amazing thing; it's a blessing.
I've been a single parent for a long time. It reminds me of being a waitress. As you walk back to the kitchen, requests come at you from all sides. You're doing the job of two - you have to be highly organised.
You can make sure your kids make their beds and hang up their clothes and put their dishes in the dishwasher when you're the one calling the shots. So, parenting alone, for me anyway, I think is almost easier, being single.
