[quote=Anonymous]My ex and I split up when I was pregnant. So we've always been a "broken" home. She's never known any different. She does occasionally try to guilt-trip us about it (she's almost 6) by saying, "I like it when we are ALL TOGETHER" but that's unusual, and she is on the whole a very sunny, happy child. This is the first summer she's been in summer camps and summer school and the staff at all of them have pulled me aside to tell me she's a happy kid and a joy to have at camp. Some of the kids I know in traditional families don't seem that happy. It could be genetic, but in our case, it hasn't been an issue at all. One downside: it can be stressful being a single parent. Financially it can be tough and socially it can be more lonely - you can miss having a partner. So you have to be extra careful not to telegraph that stress to your child. But it can be done. good luck.[/quote]
