When you’re a single parent it’s not easy. Many parents will feel they have to make up for a lot of things in their child’s life. But that can be a huge mistake, there are single parenting tips you need to follow. You can raise a child who is happy and safe even with these tips.

Parents who try to be both parts of the mother and father in a child’s life may have a hard time with guilt. That guilt can have them making bad decisions when it comes to raising that child. You can’t buy everything for a child, and you can’t fix all their wrongs they have done.

That guilt may make you feel that you have to buy your child more things than you normally would. But that can put not only a damper on your finances but also give your child the wrong message. You shouldn’t buy things for your child because you feel bad.

All adults know this won’t happen you are only hurting your child if you do this, not helping them. Teach them that money isn’t always available and at times you can’t have what other kids have. It’s a simple lesson and one they will appreciate later in life.

If they steal something punish them the right way, make them answer to the things they have done. Don’t fight their fights for them; they need to learn what is right and what is wrong. If they need to be sent to juvenile, let them go.

There are only certain things that you need to protect your child from, people who will hurt them, is the main thing. But when you child does wrong, you need to make them realize it, and at times it can be tough. Single parents will feel they have failed, but you haven’t.

Sooner or later your teen will need to face the music for what they have done. Please do not raise a spoiled kid, because there are enough of those out there already. Spoiling will be done by buying them everything and protecting them too much.

Yes you do need to protect your child from bad things in life, child molesters or bad people. But you can’t turn them into a bad person in the process. Let them know that they need to do the right things in life.

You as a single parent can raise a good kid, so do it, and don’t let them get away with things.

I claim 6 withholding allowences, this year my employer is not taking out any federal, last year they did ( total) and I got a reasonable amount back this year on taxes, I am concerned that if no federal taxes are taken this year will I end up paying Uncle Sam in the end.?

This is an issue of morality, Nat’l Statistic Office of the Phil shows their concerned towards
the country’s increasing numbers of single parents at recent decades, why it happened? What are the problems? who will be blamed for this issue?
Is this due to the continuing presence of foreign cultures and foreign religious sect who are tolerating in this issue.

Being roman catholic Christian majority country and muslim minority this issue is unusual to us ‘coz of our tradition and culture which is NOT tolerating people to have children but not legally married to someone.
