A HAPPY CHILD IS NOT THE GOAL...⬇️ It is never an ideal situation whereby a child grows up with the absence of a parent.❌️ If a parent has access but refuses to play their part, that is never the fault of the child or the parent who has stood by them.💯 As grown adults we are all responsible for our actions and lack of. There are parents that will travel miles and beyond for just 5 minutes with their child, while others will expect that child to be dropped to them only being a 10 minute drive away.🤷🏽♂️ Now in my opinion the issues arise when we choose to ignore certain behaviors from our children, simply because the other parent is not present. 🙈 Some of you are so afraid of being a “bad parent.” That you are allowing your children to get away with certain behaviours at times.🤔 I have seen children be provided with trips to Disneyland, only to say days later that they never do anything! Wait....WHAT!!! 😯 Overcompensating for your child will cause them to fail to appreciate the simple things in life. Do you remember how one toy would be enough to entertain you for weeks and the appreciation you had for simply bieng able to go out and play, let alone a trip somewhere. 🤷🏽♂️ I am not telling anyone to turn discipline up to 1000, but I am saying that undisciplined children become undisciplined adults and this child of yours will be an adult a lot longer than they were ever a child.💯 Please remember your ultimate aim is to help build a healthy adult, not a happy child! 🙏🏼 #singleparent #singleparenting #coparenting #coparentingstruggles #viral #mumlove #singlemom #singlemomlife #fatherhood #fy #singledad #parenting101 #lessonoftheday
