I am not a single parent but i do have friends who are single parents, and they do a fab job of bringnig there families up. There is a lot of bad press about single parents nad it is very unfair press, as as normal there are a few out there who give single parents a bad name. My friends do find it hard as they have to do everything for themself and sometimes have no one to help them with childcare, around the house etc. I take my hat off to single parents as I don't think with my four children I would be able to cope with life as a single parent.

I am a single parent and it can be very hard at times. But the rewards FAR outweigh the effort. Wouldn't trade my spot for the world!
