From our monthly parenting tweets series, we all have realized how being a mom or a dad is not for everyone. It requires a sheer amount of patience, dedication, and thinking ‘outside the box’ which, unsurprisingly, makes being a parent among the hardest jobs out there.
The only harder thing than being a parent is being a single parent, tackling all the challenges of raising your kid on your own. So to find out more about the hardships of being a single parent, we spoke with Natalie Maximets, a certified life transformation coach at “Online Divorce,” which is a professional divorce document preparation service with 20 years of market history.
“Being a single parent is equally difficult for both a mother and father,” Natalie said and added that most of these difficulties appear during puberty. “Do you think it is easy for a father to talk to his daughter about the first menstrual period or go together to choose the first bra? At the very least, it will be awkward for both.”
However, single dads face quite a lot of other challenges in addition to the ones mentioned above. “Many single fathers do not want to be overly strict with their children. Instead, they try to be soft, caring, and reasonable so that children do not feel neglected. In the same way, single fathers often try to make up for the absence of a mother in the family.” Natalie explained that this often leads to the fathers overindulging their children or giving up discipline altogether
Moreover, as confusing as it sounds, single fathers are often very protective of their children when solving personal problems. Natalie explained that such behavior happens because “they want to protect their child from everything that can upset or negatively affect them, like a mother hen. New friends or a date? It will be difficult for a potential partner/friend to gain the trust of a single father.”
Work-life balance is also something that single parents often have trouble with. “It is difficult to provide for their children and be with them all the time (except, of course, if you work remotely). A single father sometimes has to sacrifice something, and children do not always understand this. From here, there may be misunderstandings and alienation between parent and child,” the life transformation coach concluded.
Been there. Done that. It's really hard to lose at Candyland as it really is a game of chance. I started cheating with the preschooler and drawing multiple cards.
S**t, that movie gave ME nightmares and I was mid 30 when I saw it!!!!!!
Nope that's how they learn. Or learn to love it. Not bullying. He didn't force him it was the kid's idea.

I don't know why we got to censor the words. Like we've never seen them and never heard them before. Let's censor the word "F**k" but talk and show other morally wrong things all day long.
I agree. But why not use normal english instead? I didn’t understand the captions.

Aw, he is a handsome little fellow. I would have given him a big hug, and a high five for being brave. A response as simple as that could have turned the situation right around, comforting the little boy while making him see a positive outcome, he learned greatly from this. Saying he should be proud of himself would probably make him stop fretting and stand a little taller and be happy with himself.
Yes I'm sure he got that too. Tough love actually includes love

This is awful. Why would you do this to your kid? You are supposed to love and nuture, not humiliate and advertise/make fun of their sadness.
I honestly thought that was the post - that he was disappointed because he's still too short to ride.

What am I missing here? I don’t understand why he’s upset. Was he not allowed to go on the ride?
To me it seems like he was allowed to go on that ride and got scared on the ride.

Always great to see a child being used as the punchline to a father's joke.
Man people are so judgmental, & THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW THE WHOLE STORY, that’s what’s really pathetic here. There’s sickening child abuse, abduction, torture, sex trafficking, going on everyday, yet people do nothing when there is a house full of children starved, beaten & chained up living RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THEM. They say, “I wondered where those kids were all the time, why they didn’t go to school & no one ever saw them & we occasionally heard screaming.” But there’s plenty of Karen’s with time to peruse the Internet & tell other people they’re bad parents without knowing the details. Those Karen’s have Spidey Sense when it comes to bad parenting….they just know! Get over yourselves.
Kids that come by the firehouse for a tour always want to see the lights and hear the siren and air horn. I hate to do but the moms always insist. I tell them I'll do it as you're leaving the parking lot. Jack rabbits I work with use air horn to wake up this night owl as I'm checking my equipment in the morning.
This is what we call a hyperbole. Those suckers can really mess up the discourse and trivialize actual abuse. They're very popular among internet Karens who lack any sort of perspective and live for the drama. Avoid at all costs, kids.

My grandson had a major meltdown because I gave him gummy bears. He wanted gummy worms. Literally the same thing just in a different shape. Learned my lesson real quick!

This was a great posting. So glad to know I'm not the only one with a chaotic life. Parenting is never boring, that's for sure. A new adventure everyday. But I love it!!!!!!
Surprised not to see stepped on Lego make the list somewhere - you have not felt pain till you have stepped on a Lego block, barefoot at 3am
Yes…or, little bitty beads that you think you’ve swept all up during the day, but you discover, barefoot, in the wee hours of the morning, and they stick to the bottom of your feet, while you’re trying not to wet your jammies and you say bad words. Really bad words.
