Being a single parent is nobody's choice

Nobody plans to become a single mother or father but life sometimes is unpredictable, what you are planning for yourself might not be what life will bring to you.

As human, when we are growing up we all have different dreams, good ones at that but we all forget that not all dreams come true.

Who doesn't like to live a good life? Finishing school, getting a good job, and then, married to a good partner. Everyone wants a good partner to spend the rest of their lives with but marriage itself is like buying market online, you don't know what is in your package unless you open it.

That beautiful lady you are dating might end up being torn in the flesh when she finally gets into your house, and that handsome man might become the enemy you never asked for when he finally put you in his house because people do change especially when they finally have what they want they tend to forget all the promise they have made to you.

One of my friends happens to fall victim to a bad guy in a good human body, the reason why I said that was because when they were dating, he was every woman's choice but immediately after he married my friend, he changed from every woman's choice to something I never want to deal with.

It happened that after their first child, he started complaining that she was getting too fat and some other things, it got to the point where he started bringing another girl home, and stopped caring for his family which has started showing in their children's lives and my friend doesn't have a choice than to leave the marriage before depression kill her in the house where there is no peace.

I can't deny the fact that the absence of the man really shows in those kid's life because both the mother and father have an impact on a child's life but in a case where one side is not ready to let the journey go smoothly, the other person has to take care of the responsibilities alone and that is how my friend became a single mother of two.

The only way I think she could take care of the responsibility without letting it show in those kids' life is to have a good job and focus on their growth because it won't be a smooth journey anymore for those kids if she could put in all her effort, I believe she will give them the life they deserve it won't be easy I know that.

Raising kids alone is not as easy as it sounds but if the person raising them can dedicate his or her life to keep them safe, I am sure they will grow so well. Working as a single parent is not easy and that is why a single parent must make sure he or she doesn't raise their children in an environment full of tout because once the parent is not always around, the kids might be influenced.

Single parents must make sure their children are raised in an environment where they will have peace of mind even when they have gone to work and a parent must make sure to know the kind of friends his or her children are moving with. All these are the things a single parent must do to keep their children safe and to have a good life.
