Single Parent?
I think so, you have more self time to develop emotions since your not being so focused on 5 different people.

My mother wasn't a "single mom", but she was a widow, and this caused us to have to grow up faster than we might have, otherwise.





The additional responsibilities we had to take on eventually gave us confidence and self-esteem. I don't think it made us more "sensitive", but it certainly made us tougher.
Reply:Not sure. I know that as a single mom I've had to be very aware of my feelings and the feelings of my children. But I don't know if that's something innate that happens to all single parents.

I admire many single parent families, i am also bringing up sons up alone one of which is adopted, if my sons can look at the world through a *sensitive* side i will be proud, If they learn to understand that the world is not just Black and White, and i can teach them about the *grey* areas then i know i have nutured them to the best of my abiltiy.


If they learn not everyone has EVERYTHING as society dictates i will be proud of them.
Reply:I rarely have time to focus on myself while having to do the washing the cleaning the cooking and running the kids about. Would I change it. Not for anything in the world. I will get back to you when the kids are teenagers LOL
