Thoughts for Today
Today let's look at two mistakes single parents often make with their children. One occurs if you allow your child to assume the role of the missing spouse. Seeing your own grief or sadness, some children will try to assume the role of the lost parent in order to make you feel better. While it is good to assign chores and regular jobs around the house, no child should be expected to become the man of the house or a little mother. Let your children be children and you be the parent.
Other parents try to become their child's friend and confidant rather than the parent. Your children need an adult they can count on, not a good buddy. Don't let feelings of guilt that your children are deprived of a father or mother keep you from fulfilling your parenting responsibilities. Your children can have other buddies-you are their only parent.
Consider this ...
Single parenting is an awesome responsibility. Always remember, you are not alone. If you will keep your eyes on Jesus, he will comfort you, he will guide you and he will give you the strength and courage you need.
