Parenting is a lifetime job, no matter how grown one might be once your parent(s) is/are still alive they will continue to nurture and educate you till their last breath. In parenting, there is no specific ways of raising a child. You nurture your own child to the best of your knowledge and with the influence of the society you live.
I'm yet to be married, but I have both biological and adopted parents who are striving so hard for me and my siblings to become important persons in the society. I will say it's not easy to raise a child let alone train more than one, they have numerous characters that you need to condone.
For me being an elder sister to two grown up younger ones both male and female is a great work, sometimes when I'm confused with their excesses, I will just leave them unattended and look for a secluded place to calm my nerves telling them they can't kill me with their problems or shout at them to go and meet their daddy and mummy with their problems, 'I never born, why will another person's child comot life for my body nah'🤣
Most times I wondered how my parents do the magic of raising four children and they do it very well even effortlessly. I grew up in a family of six, 'my parents inclusive'.
Having Four different kids with different rational and irrational characters, it's not easy at all. I can proudly say kudos to them for a job well done, my parents aren't careless with us at all. They groom us well while some parents are just careless about what happens to their ward, they never care about what those children are passing through. All they know is that they can take care of themselves.
For me, aside from death which is a natural occurrence, I believe it's very important in a child's life to have both parents'presence while growing up because as such a child grows, he or she tends to experience life through both of them. An adage says, two good heads are better than one though some people's heads aren't good but at least either of the heads should be balanced to help the child navigate life properly.
Parents have tangible roles to play in their wards life, but it's unfortunate that the present world isn't buying the idea anymore, divorce is now the other of the day while some lose both parents or either of the two to the cold hand of death. But believe me the majority of those kids turn out even more better than those that their parents are alive, this life is full of mysteries.
But I believe it's a good thing for both parents to join hands together to help their children navigate life and the children also to submit themselves to their parents tutelage so as to turn out right.
No parent(s) want to have nuisance as a child, but sometimes the environment turns a child to another thing entirely, so whether one has no parents or parent, it very important to strive hard to be a better version of oneself by emulating goodly characters.
