Single Fathers feel like failures. It’s a sad but true fact. No matter how successful or how many things a man has accomplished in his life, it will never feel like “enough.” Focusing on the Failures This information came oddly as a relief to me.

Broke single dad? Many men can relate to the feeling. However if you actually ask a single father if he feels broke, his response may surprise you.

Unfortunately, Love can’t pay the bills. For a lot of guys, their main job as a man and as a father has always been to provide. And most are really good at it. They always had a routine and a plan.

Not anymore. I have seriously taken my focus on parenting to a whole new level since becoming a single father. I love learning new strategies an ..read more
