Single parenting

Single parenting could turn out to be the most stressful work to do. It causes a lot of cases of emotional imbalance.

It could be caused by an unfortunate untimely death to either parent. In this case, the child barely knows the deceased parent and it causes a sad memory to the child at all time.

It could also be caused by negligence of either parent at a youthful age, usually the male parent. There are lots of cases where the boy impregnates the girl and denies the pregnancy or runs away.

It could be due to a broken home, when the parent are divorced. One parent usually takes up the responsibility of bringing up the children, and in some cases, the children are divided into two in numbers for each one to share the responsibility. This also causes lots of emotional trauma to the growing children.

There are four cases usually found.

• A male child brought up by a single female parent.

• A male child brought up by a single male parent.

• A female child brought up by a single female parent.

• A female child brought up by a single male parent.

Either of the stated cases are not something to boast about. However, good responsible children are still being brought up in this condition, kudos to the single parent. So also, some ill mannered children are also brought up in the same conditions depending mainly on the parent. It all boils down to the parent and who the parent allows the children associate with.

In some cases, the female children brought up the female parent might not know how well to interact with men and boys generally. Also, a male child brought up by a male parent may not know how to respect and treat ladies. This are critical issues that are often seen in the society.

As much as motherhood is very important in the upbringing of a child, I personally think a male child should be brought up by a female parent and a female child brought up by the female parent. This will create some kind of balance in protecting the child and showing them how the opposite sex should be treated, respected and related with.
