The struggle of single fathers

Within our societies, we are use to singular women being single mothers and we applaud those single mothers who raise their children to the best of their abilities.

What about single fathers? You seldom see or hear societies give these fathers the respect they deserve. Women can handle the struggle of raising children on their own with out the help of the fathers beacuse the women are more prepared for it. It's the men who are not prepared. However, when you take a single father who have no idea of what raising a child is all about, it can become extremely difficult to become mr. mom over night. Some fathers are forced into being mr. mom because of several reasons. Some of these reasons are:

Mother of child/children passed away.

Marriage end in divorce-father recieved custody.

Separation from mother- mother was found unfit because of drug overuse.

Mother died in child birth.

These are some of the reasons why fathers end up being dads.

Most single fathers are doing an excellent job in wearing the title of Mr. mom. I applaud all these fathers for their wonderful works in being there for their children. This takes a large burden off society and you help prepare the younger generation for the future.

So for those of you who are, were and still are single dads, I would like to thank you all for a job well done.

Maybe you are right but in my opinion father should get second marriage for his children, they need more and more care that father can not give alone especially for daughters , yes he can do it alone but it is better if he found another partner to help him with the part he couldn’t do ,especially if the children are very small .
I appreciate those fathers who do it alone and bear a lot to do that.
