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!!!!!!
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!
In reality they wait until it isn't cute anymore and suddenly the kid gets grounded for saying things that it has been allowed to say for 12 years.

Guysssssss, most 2 year olds aren't vicious. This is an adult projecting to make it funny. A 2 year old is just making an observation. "You told me that big kids use the potty, I use the potty, I am a big kid. That kid does not use the potty, therefore by extrapolation they are a baby" (paraphrasing, obvs)
I agree. When we go for walks my two-year-old refers to any kid in a stroller as a baby, she lacks the vocabulary and the mental capacity to differentiate between infants and toddlers.

And yet that will motivate some other toddler. My son told his cousin (who's 10 weeks older) that he wore 'big boy' underwear and not diapers like him. I was actually proud for him too.
You need to nip that isht in the bud, average dad, or you'll have an unlikeable bully to contend with.
That sounds alarmingly like what mh narcissistic mother would *teach* her kid/grandkid to think/say so she could feel superior through the kid. The toddler likely didn't come up with the line herself imo, she might just be repeating what the adults said while potty training her.
It’s a two year old. You’re angry at a two year old…

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.
