style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There is no doubt that taking on the role of a single parent can be challenging. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you are considering taking this route, it is essential that you thoroughly prepare yourself for what is to come. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example, by <strong>assessing your work flexibility, childcare options, support network<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>financial situation as the sole income earner<\/strong>. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">for many women, the decision to have a child alone brings its own unique benefits and rewards, which are also worth keeping in mind, too.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align:

outcome. <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">From where you shop to the food you provide, to how you spend your weekends and the trips and activities that you plan, single parents do not face the same potentially conflict-ridden situations with another adult who may have a different view.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">From the time they are born, you and your child will be a team of two. They will benefit from having the focus of your attention, without the need to juggle the competing priorities of a relationship, plus they will have a deeper connection with you as their sole parent.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Your child may grow up to be uniquely mature and responsible<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Your situation may mean that you will need to encourage your child to take responsibility at an age-appropriate level for household tasks that may be overlooked in a more traditional family model.
