A Single Parent's Truth 
You underline how lucky families of two parents, both committed and taking a fair share of the responsibilities, are. Sad that these are becoming increasingly rare, and are simply taken for granted when they come about.

Thank you for sharing your point of view. Although two parent households are ideal, there are many single family homes that groom respectable and productive children.

Undoubtedly, but with double the effort. Unfair, really. As one having old-fashioned ideals, I am of the opinion that a lot of the fault lies with the modern tendency to rush into relationships and sex with partners not ideal. There is a lot to be said for ‘heavy petting’ only, for some time before actual marriage. And even after, while struggling economically.

True..there are several households where parents maybe staying together but te entire responsibility is on one parent only..and that’s more frustrating coz there are expectations of some help from the other partner.
Can completely understand the difficulties and the love that makes it possible.

You make a very good point – the responsibility usually falls on one parent rather than both. Thank you for your comment.
