According to the Department of Health and Human Services, State Government of Victoria, Australia there are different reasons for why a person becomes a single parent. They may have been in a relationship which they left, got a divorce, or in some cases one of the parents could have died. Having both parents at home can be difficult for the parents, but only being one parent just makes it even worse. The demands of income earning, child raising, and housework mean the single parent may have little or no time for themselves (Single Parenting). In everyday life it is more difficult for single parents to function effectively as parents compared to having both parents. As a single parent you have to do everything that your husband or wife would do, such as taking kids to school, and getting two jobs to pay for everything. As a kid my parents got divorced so I know what the process of living with only one parent feels like. The amount of stress put on the child from having both parents transitioning into only one parent is ridiculous. Living with only one parent can not only negatively affect the behavior of a child, but also decrease the rate of success the child has growing
