Description
There is no checklist of items a single parent should follow. Rich Ballo was a stay-at-home dad for four years before his wife died of cancer. He remained single and raised the children and saw them leave the nest and start their own lives. If he can do it you can also raise normal kids, educate them, and have fun with them, even under emotionally stressful situations. Just ask Rich’s therapist.
Rich discusses the whole gamut of parenting issues from identifying what is in a child’s diaper to double dating with his teenage sons.
Some are raising children on their own. More married men are staying home too.
MomDad can be enjoyed by any of the 5.5 million single parents, over 100,000 widowers, or millions of married parents who struggle to raise kids. And what parent hasn’t struggled to raise their kids?
The readers will see the continuity of actions and consequences set by a parent that applies to every stage of a child’s life. The only thing that changes is the age of the child and the consequences.
