Anyone who wants to be a single parent?

Question

Anyone who wants to be a single parent?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

I'm married but as good as a single parent! My family live 100 miles from me, I have few friends in this area and my Husband does nothing for the baby and complains if he has to watch him for 5 minutes.

It's d**n hard work, so anyone who truly is a single parent I take my hat off to you!

Answer 3

yeah I am raising 6

Answer 4

I have been both. Neither is easy. There are ups and downs to single and co-parenting. Single is ok if you have a good support network. Obviously better for the child to have 2 parents but it isn't essential.

Answer 5

I have just recently became a single parent after the breakdown of my 11 year relationship.

I have 3 kids and still go to work and to be honest it isnt as hard as I thought it would be as one of my biggest fears when I had kids was being a single parent.

I am managing fine just now and although the kids are still adjusting they are happier as they know there is no more atmosphere anymore in the house.  They also see their father on a regular basis and speak to him on the phone each nite before bed.

I wouldnt have actively become a single parent tho or have another child without their father around as I always think a 2 parent household is better than 1 but then in a lot of circumstances that just aint possible.
