Being a single mom or dad is tough. In the beginning, you spend a lot of time adjusting to your new situation. Finding ways to do things for yourself, helping your children cope with the change and building a different relationship with your co-parent if they are still around. If you are working, you also have to find ways to fit your schedule around your children and their needs, so things can be stressful. Then, eventually, you settle into a routine. You and your children become a little team, you have your ways of doing things, and you work well together. You are a unit.
