[英语角] Taling about Solo parent

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is one of the extracted comments on Solo parent, what is your opinion about this situation?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Monica：I don't think Solo parent is a good idea for children...
But sometimes we just don't have choices, if we can manage our adult relationship in a healthy way, who bloody want to divorce or seperate?
-----------
Today I met a little girl in the Park while walking my 4 dogs...
Oh, yes, today was Mini and Cooper's first run (they just had their third Vaccination this Monday so safe to run around in wild now...^_^) and I met this 9 years old girl with her dog called "SPOT"...
We started to chat and a few minutes later she told me : " Dad doesn't love dogs so we have to keep spot on our own...well, my parents seperated."
Then she said: "But they are still friends, you know..I meet Dad on weekends normally...I hope Mum can get her a boyfriend soon.."
When I decided to go home, she looked a bit disappointed but said "goodbye, Monica!"
--------------
Then I start to feel a bit sad...because she must be a bit lonely since her Mum has to work and come home at 5:30 sth....but in NZ school normally finish at 3:00.
If she has two parents, the Dad can stay at work while Mum is home with her...maybe then she will feel a bit more happy...
I am always very popular among children between age 5 to 14....I don't like little children much because they haven't developed their brains yet and are pretty much just babies who need to be looked after. I am not very popular among teenages over 14 years old because those chidlren are almost adults and prefer to communicate with their mates...
I like treating Children like adults...especially when I talk to them, I just talk to them like I do to Brad and any other adults...and children love it becaseu they feel extremely being respected and self-important since they know I consider them as adults...
Whatsoever, I am not saying that children growing up in solo parent household are no good, But I think children prefer to live in a family in which there are both a male and female figure, and there is a healthy relationship between people....
However, except that girl is a bit lonely, I really think she is a lovely girl...polite, knowledgable, considerate, confident, positive and cute...
Comparing with the children (they have 2 parents though)living next door of my place, this girl is absolutely an angel!
In this case, it proves that solo parent is not the reason which cause a child beoming nasty...if Mum/Dad is educating her/his child well, the child can still grow up with good manners and good values...
I feel a bit regreted because I didn't leave my phone number to that little girl so sometimes if her Mum has to work, she can come to my place and play with all my dogs and Brad...ennn, if I meet her next time in the park, I will do....
