As i said before not its not always that easy & unfortuantly my kids have ONE parent cos thats the way it is, i dont get a lot of support except thro friends mainly i cope alone, it upsets me the fact that i do my damnedness & yet lone parents are not regonised for their job they do as best they can. Its nice to have a politician that regonises there are different family set ups good & bad in all as thats rightfully where it is yet single parents were blamed & judgements made about themselves as parents as i know a lot of them that are brill yet theres some that are poor as with other family units!!

The problem that many marriages fail is because of that very beleif & pressure that married ones are better, yet the stark reality is not neccessarily so, family itself have changed, grandparents dont always want the active part of grandparenting, or live far away etc, leaving the strain of parenting to either partnerships or single parenting, not everyone is lucky to have that support or have a that network around them. Its about time the gov woke upto the fact the neuclear type family has changed & now it involves all kinds of differnet family units that are reconised & supported, then maybe children will have a better future regardless, but is someway to go.

Tbh i cant see why a legal piece of paper called marriage certificate is important than loving parent[s] whether they have that or not???
