@ShanusYou are so lucky. Not all of us had support from the other parent on my team.That makes a huge different, then again they might just wait to get away from us and turn into a crazy.

@ShanusAre you real sure about that?. I am not convinced in my world.at this point.Must have both parents going into the same direction.Very neceesary.

@BeccaLou  Of course, it’s easier w/ both parents...especially if both parents are on the same page about raising kids. Being a single parent must be quite challenging. I don’t think I could have done it alone. I have a lot of respect for women (or men) that manage it.

  That’s exactly how I raised my son.When he used to question why he had to do something I used to say “ this house is not a democracy. It’s a dictatorship & you’re looking at the dictator!!”.I also used to say ”I’m not your friend.I’m your mother “.

  My son was raised with a lot of love & praise.But he was raised to have respect,values & to work hard.It’s gives me such joy to see him as an adult today.He’s a much better person than I am!!

  My DH credits me for the way my son turned out because  I was a stay at home mom.I believe it was a team effort.DH set a wonderful example for what a man should be!!

  Raising a child is hard work.I would do it all over again.Nothing has been more rewarding!! I feel so blessed!!

I was a Mother first then their friend.  Now they are grown, our sons tell me it was so nice to be able to express their feelings. I think it is important to be able to have sit down family talks.

Our two sons are my best friends

@ShanusI wasn't a single Mom, Just had a checked out Husband and Father for the kids, I called him a recycled teen-ager. But he wasn't there for me or the kids but lived part time in the house with us. But found out later he was living a double life. All the while I did raise the kids by myself. But he taught them how to be hood-lums.And when he was around o.k. their bads actions, which made it double rough on me.

@ShanusBut hopefully, one is starting to see the hard job I had with them. I need prayers to get through all of this , still !. Thank-You.

@BeccaLou  Sorry I misunderstood. You definitely have my prayers & are in my thoughts...definitely not an easy “road”.

Seems like Erma Bombeck or Ann Landers once said that to be called "A Mean Mom" was like a badge of courage and to be proud of.  But then that was a long time ago.
