Parenting is a difficult job for most people, but raising a boy as a single mother can be especially challenging. I read a meme that says "It Takes a Strong Mom to Be a Father Too," but can a woman truly play the role of a father while also being a mom? In episode 3, we explore the gender roles mothers play as single parents while not discounting the need for a father figure in a son's life. While women are thought to be great nurturers for their children, single moms raising a boy are presented with unique challenges and opportunities to provide her male child with the strong foundation he needs to be grounded, connected and accepted. What is the mindset you must have as a mother raising boys? Do you feel a boy must have a strong father figure in HIS life as opposed to a man in YOURS? Join us this episode as we navigate the feelings some single moms experience in the absence of a father in her son's life and the parenting challenges that come with them.
