Do single parents face different problems than dual-parent households?

Problems Faced by Single Parents

Single parents face all the problems normally faced by dual-parent families, and then some. Not only must they be a mother and father to their child or children, they also face financial challenges from only one income, which usually means they also work at a job full-time to feed their family. It requires a great deal of strength, creativity, and emotional support to do the juggling act that must be done to provide for your family, which leaves little time for single parents to just be themselves. Do not let yourself get so caught up in being the perfect parent, that you forget that you are a person too. Make sure you take care of yourself as well as your children. You have a big job ahead of you, but you CAN do it.
