When I was young, my Grandparents used to tell us about how they met, fell in love and eventually got married. And in their stories, I noticed the importance of conservatism for them. My Grandmother added that at one point, she had wanted to break up with Grandpa but did not end up doing it because she did not want to call them a "broken family".

This does not automatically imply that conservatism no longer exists today. But it is also undeniable that over time, the number of single parents is constantly growing. Whether forced into it or making the choice to raise children by themselves, many men and women alike are finding themselves raising children alone.

Some of the single parents are widowed. While others may have never found that special someone, but were lucky enough to have children. Each individual has a story to tell. And we cannot always say that being a single parent is an unfortunate thing, but a tough blessing in actuality.

There are good things about being a single parent. To start off, single parents share a special bond with their children. They are the sole providers and must be involved in every aspects of their child’s life. This makes the relationship between parent and child a lot closer.

Single parents can focus their attention to their child. They can make time for important matters such as homework, sporting events, and fun activities that they can do together.

Single parents can raise their children to be independent. This teaches children to become well-adjusted adults and lead normal lives. Many of them seek higher education and become professionals in their chosen field.

Children of single parents naturally learn the essence of responsibility at an early age. This is because they are often required to help with house chores and other necessary activities. This teaches them independence and enables them to learn to deal with difficult situations.
