Being a single parent is indeed very challenging since one has to fill in for both parents while providing for the child’s emotional, developmental, and financial needs. Every responsibility that was meant to be shared among the two has to be taken solely by one. On the brighter side, it gives a consistent message to the child and the disconnection that may result from differences in opinions of the two parents is absent. In fact, in some cases, being a single parent could also be a choice.
