How To Be Successful Single Mother

November 13, 2017 by Team Babygogo Leave a Comment

Single parenting can be really stressful and demanding. From managing the daily chores, looking after the child to managing work-life-balance, there’s certainly a lot to cope up with. In spite of all this pressure and demanding nature of their life, they still need to act calm as the child will always look up to them.

Here are the key challenges and related parenting tips for single moms to minimize the stress in their life:

#1 No One to Pass the Baton To –

Single motherhood creates an extremely demanding situation where they cannot pass the baton of responsibility to anyone; instead, they have to manage the pressure of balancing their personal and professional life on their own. This sole responsibility for managing all the aspects of life creates a very challenging situation and increases the stress in their life.

Tip to overcome this-

In order to reduce this stress and burden the primary objective is to create a structured routine i.e. fix the schedule for everything, the time for meals, the time they and the children need to go to bed, the time they will have to get up and every other aspect of the daily life.

#2 The Feeling of Doubt –

Another challenge associated with single parenting is the feeling of self-doubt. Having a partner gives one the flexibility to get a second opinion or advice for every critical decision to be made in life, but in case of single parenting, this flexibility is missing. They have to make all the decisions on their own which sometimes creates a doubt if they are doing the right thing or not? This self-doubt causes them to lose confidence in themselves resulting in developing a feeling of being “guilty” for their condition.

Don’t feel guilty –

The most important tip to handle this situation is to delete the keyword “guilt” from their dictionary. They need to own their sense of self-love and focus towards another aspect of the life, i.e. the responsibility they have towards their children, the love and attention their children need from them and the responsibility to make their children a better individual.

#3 Losing Themself in Parenting Responsibility –

The full array of parenting responsibilities that single moms have makes their life rather stressful. While taking care of the finances, the education of the children, their progress in life and all the daily chores, they usually end up forgetting about themselves.

Get help from your close ones-

The only solution to this challenge is to feel proud of what they are doing. They need to bring back the joy back in their life, taking some time out for themselves every week. Taking help of friends or family for babysitting is an excellent idea. After all the key to a happy child is a happy mom, isn’t it?

Long story short:

Single parenting undoubtedly involves a lot of efforts and commitment but that doesn’t mean that you need to forget yourself. What you need is an encouraging and supportive social circle that can provide you a sense of belongingness. It is highly important that you maintain a positive attitude and understand that a great life lies ahead for you and the child.

Happy Parenting!
