How to Be a Well Prepared Single Parent with Children

Life throws many cards at us in our lifetime but no worse hand can be dealt then being a single parent with children. When this happens you have to look at your life and think how to effectively plan your home, money, work, routine, children and life as you possibly can.

The stressful and emotional roller-coaster that you will be on will be unpredictable and scary but at times rewarding, satisfying and providing a new chapter in your life. Your children's welfare and stability is paramount along the way.  Being the parent, you will have to deal with any emotional and stressful moment in private so as not to disrupt your children. That is why a routine is necessary.

Any contact that your children have with the other parent, should be regular and set out from the beginning, this then creates calm and stability for them and you. Remember that when your children are having time with the other parent, that then leaves you with your own free time to relax or start your new chapter, this is rewarding and adapting time. Any changes of routine around school should be approached as fun and positive.

Being the single parent will probably mean that your money will be affected either by change of work hours or relying on the other parent to pay maintenance. Budget your money daily, weekly or monthly whichever suits you best.  

Your home should be equipped with all essential things i.e. food, water, warmth, security and medical box containing plasters, antiseptic wipes, bandages, lints, painkillers and temperature thermometer. You have to be prepared for any occasion in the middle of the night when you are alone thus you need to be prepared for any incident. One of the worst times is having a sick child in the middle of the night with a roaring temperature and not having painkiller or thermometer to hand. 

As life is a game of cards, we all have to be prepared for the good and bad hands and sometimes take that gamble. Being a single parent is a gamble but in time the good hands will be dealt, then you and your children can play happy families.
