Well I am now a single parent again afterthree years but let me tell you this I may have been in a relationship but I still did everything alone.People brand single parents and its so wrong they make out like we only had kids to keep the person well I for one did not but whats different about been a single parent to been with somebody because as far as Im concerned nothing.I love my kids and I know im better off raising them alone daddy was never around it was me who mopped up the tears me who dealt with the cuts so whats different ?

Dont get me wrong been a single parent is hard work you cant just say right im off out now because you have to think about the kids.I love the fact that its just me and the kids we can do what we want go where we want and not have to worry about what he will think sometimes I wish somebody was here but thats only when im feeling low I know I can always turn to my family if I need any help but at least I can hold my head high and say yes I did it alone and I lived to tell the tail.

People say single parent family kids miss out .Miss out on what? The arguments seeing mum and dad fight what child wants to see the two people they love the most in the world hurt each other towards the end of my relationship my son was always upset at mum and dad fighting and because I was stressed I was taking it out on my children but I can look back now and see the mistakes I made and I realize its better on the children if im on my own they benefit mummy will always be there to help I wont have to say sorry kids butb your dad wasnts me to do this or that .

I was brought up by my mother after my father left I never had any contact with him but I will always remember my mum been there for me every step of the way and I know my kids will .Sometimes you have to be alone even though its scary and all new to you rather than be in an unhappy relationship and see the kids suffering because there the ones we need to be thinking about there the future and they learn from us so what if people brand you hold your head high and say i can do this.The kids will hurt but in time they will look back and see its better now than it was.
