Both my boys were raised by me as a single parent.
Straight A students.
Kids never got in trouble.
My 21 yr old saved almost 30k from working from age of 18 and now is getting apprentcieship for electrical engineering.
My 15 yr old/almost 16 has his life mapped out...plus has a small business with 2 friends cutting down trees and doing property clean-up at people's houses and works for a farmer.
I banned TV in my home 10 yrs ago.
I was strict and it paid off.
I have no idea why any mother would not be there to direct their kids for greatness.
Praying for the souls...
