The job of a parent is unlike any other! Single parenting can sometimes be extremely difficult in balancing all the needs of the family and trying to keep things running smoothly.
Unfortunately, in the Muslim community there isn’t very much support for single parents, whether it’s the father or the mother trying to hold things down.
Parenting, in some ways is instinctive, but in many ways it’s not. Without having a support system, it can quickly feel like a losing battle.
Sometimes single parents lack that sounding board that couples have, they don’t have the voice of reason telling them when they’ve gone too far or a gentle reminder telling them they need to be a bit stricter.
Single parents often face the (albeit irrational) guilt of knowing that their child (through no fault of their own) lacks the consistency of just one home, one bedroom, one set of rules.
