Single parenting for Men ?? (88)
riyablossom: It has sort of fascinated me since i joined CS to see that there are so many men as single parents . It is not very common in my part of the world and personally, i would rather tend to believe men cant handle bringing up children satisfactorily by themselves.
But here i have seen so many men adore their children and are more than happy in their company, nurturing and raising them. Its so nice.
So, A question for the guys who are single parents ..
How do you feel about being both mum and dad for your child ?
Does bringing up a child alone wear you out ?
Any experiences to share ???
For the ladies ,
Do you think men make great parents all by themselves ??

I spent the first 2 years with both my kids, because their mother suffered from depression. Not quite the same but I think I would have no problem with it, hard work though .
big respect 2 single parents.

riyablossom: Why do you think so ?
my grandparents and those of most people spent all their lives togeather, wether they were happy or unhappy. Now-a-days we dont tend to except it if we are unhappy. Both my mum and dad have been married 3 times. I see many people, specially in the uk getting married and having kids way to young. They havent even lived yet, and for me that is very important. One has to find oneself. I was way to young to have kids at 21, obviously I wouldnt change that for the world.

From my experiences I dont think it is fair for children to be brought up by a single parent.
My brother and I were brought up by our Dad.... an excellent parent. We thought it was quite normal. When we got older, married and all that stuff, we found we had lost out on a "balanced" upbringing. My brother was short on understanding the Female side of life. Me too. I was always inclined to "think like a man" if that makes any sense.
Whereas, my younger sister, brought up by our Mother, seems to have a different outlook and handles her life, as a woman, more successfully. She also has very little patience with men....
Taking note of others thru life`s walk, I do notice that those brought up with a Mom and Dad in a union seem more capable of handling life`s problems..... more rational and level headed.....jmho....
I do also know, for a fact, that boys will seek a Mentor - they need one, and they may not necessarily find a "good" one - any older male who impresses them is who they will imitate.

Far better a single parent than parents who are unhappy together, my parents never had a kind word to say to each other and I lived in fear of there rows all threw my growing uo years..
I am now a single parent, I split when I realise my marriage was heading teh same way as my parents and I could see the efrfect it was having on my children.
We are a much happier family now without the rows and the tension and I feel I did the right thing for my children.
On the subject of men as single parents, I have a friend who has raised his daughter alone and she is a lovely young woman now.

No its not fair...but for some reason the husband or wife split up and then that is where it all goes bonkers..The children Pay for it..To get out of a Marriage is way to easy..My brother and I were brought up by our Dad.... an excellent parent.

Sorry I dont agree that it is way to easy to get out of marriage, not here anyway were divorce is still relatively new, and you have to be seperated at least four years to get one. I stayed in my marriage for 14 years and tried everything I could to make it work.

I see it more of as a balanced family situation to be available for healthy upbringing. But, its not so easy in today's times.I have lived in a joint family for a large part of my life.. both parents and the rest of my dad's family !! So personally, i feel both parents being there makes a lot of differnece

Totally agree.It is great to have both the parents living together but sometimes when it doesnt work out , its far better to be living separately than making life miserable for everyone together.
Children have impressionable minds and family feuds have a big impact.
So Vonney , do you feel children have a chance to maybe land up repeating when they grow up what they saw in their childhood as in between their parents ?

Absolutely Riya, Is is our comfort zone whether we realise it or not we are attracted to the familier like a never ending wheel, until something makes us see this and we make the decision to get off that wheel.
