Effect of Single Parent Working Outside the Home

Single parents should not be affected any more than dual-parent household where both parents work outside the home. In this day and age, it is uncommon and often unrealistic for a parent not to expect to work outside the home. When a person chooses to have a child, they also are choosing to take responsibility for the well being of that child. It is not the government's or anyone else's responsibility, it is ours. Being responsible means providing for your child's needs which includes the physical needs as well as the emotional needs.
