The Life Of A Single Parent
I never thought I would be a single parent , I've always dreamed of being married and then having my child because I wanted complete family like I grew up in. I wanted my child to experience the love in the same home with the same parent. Being a single parent is tough but I believe I'm rocking it out without a problem. Paying daycare, missing work when she' sick also working long hours . So many say they want children my advice to them would be to wait until the right person comes in your life and they want to marry you and start a family with them. Kids are the biggest blessing and i believe when you bring a human in to this world you should want the best for them and you she want them to be as happy as they can be with both parents. Living with one parent and the other one is not active can take a huge toll on a child you will see them cry become angry and even say things that you aren't use to them saying. Just hold them like you normally would and talk to them and be the best Mother/ Father you can be . When they get older they will realize that you was there for them. Growing up in a house hold where i had mother and father was nice it's all my mother wanted for us because she didn't grow up with her dad . She wanted to be sure that we had that happy life with both parents in the home and a lot of kids was jealous of me because i had two parents they would say i thought i was better then everyone. That was not the case at all my dad was in the home but not an active parent with having and open communication relationship with his kids. My dad worked and took care of his family but he was still an absence father. I never got a chance to go to those father daughter dances , donuts with dad none of that because he wasn't really around. I guess that why i had such high hopes for my children and their father. But that didn't go as planned. August the 6th was the best day of my life because I had a human that i loved no matter the situation and no matter how many times her dad and I fought I knew that the love she had for me was unconditional. Now i can't get enough of her I want to know what she's doing how she's doing , I don't want to miss a second of her life because everything counts. Some people say when it comes to my child i crowd her or i smother her but i don't think that's the case I love her more then I have loved anything or anyone and that is the way i should feel about me child no matter the issues the parents have. when you protect your kids energy they will definitely protect your heart. Many people don't know that kids watch and observe a lot of the things that happens and that has happened and they remember who hurt them or who hurt someone that they love. You have to be careful of who your kids are around and who you allow in to their life, this includes family members. Protect your children just as much as you protect other things. Show them how you should treat people you don't have to wait on the other parent when you be the best parent that you can be your child will turn out to be a reflection of their childhood.
