"Hard work pays off"

As of today, in this generation single parents homes have increased drastically. Being a single parent is a hard thing to do, even if we have two jobs or getting some kind of government assistance. With the world population elevating higher and higher, the cost of living is shooting through the roof. Living in a society like this, you may never know what downfall single parents may have. Hopefully the world would stop and think about how many struggling parents live on this earth. Single mothers have to strive harder in life and achieve more than a woman with no kids.

Providing for you and the child financially is a very hard thing to do. Having a steady income can help and also getting help from family members also. As being a single mother you have to supply the baby with clothes, milk, wipes, shoes, and much more. Looking at the story about my friend Aniyah having her son name Jayden she had a lot of trouble in providing financially. She was a single mother without having her baby father in the picture. She has not asked him for anything because he did not come around at all. She began to apply for government assistance to help her and it barely met her needs to help the both of them. The reason it barely met their needs is because the government looks at how much you make and your family makes if you live with them.

But if you don't have time you have to stop doing what you are doing and make time to teach a son the principles of living with teaching him the basic he can achieve in life. Without a man teaching the little boy how to be a man by playing sports with him, having man talks, and giving that loving father bond.

A main thing that a boy needs is a good male role model. He needs someone who cares about his future and his well-being. There is nothing in the world better than love from a father. In my opinion, I feel that if a single parent has a son they should put him in the brothers to brother's organization. It is a lot better if your son has a role model because if not the boy would tend to stay in trouble during school and around neighborhoods. If someone single parent's child does not have any kind of role model. Then they should put their child in an organization.

While being a mother you have to work twice as hard, think twice as hard, and also be twice as hard. When I say "work twice as hard," I mean that you need to have a lot of working hours
