"Who wears the pants?"

Single parenting alone, no words can be given for the amount of strength that it takes to wear the pants of both paents. Yesterday, my middle daughter desided to take black marker and write on anything that she could in her room. From her comforter, television and even on her face and shirt. During their nap time, I do my best to relax, yet I knew that it was something that was done wrong when my oldest daughter started screaming like the house was caving in or something.

I took my time with walking down the hallway toward their room only holding my breath awaiting to what I was in store for when I stepped into the room. Parents, I know we have all been through the toddler stages with our children wanting to write on everything that is not nailed down. I have two babies in the toodler stages better known (Terrible twos). As I raised my voice making sure she understood that I was upset with her actions and showed all what she did wrong and not to do it again (yet sometimes its like talking to myself). I love and adore all three of my babies with my heart and sole but it's rough with having to switch wearing the pants with being both mother and father.  I can't help wonder if I'm ever going to be able to fully fulfill the father role alone or will I eventually need that male father in their lives in order to keep wanting to raise them to the best of my ability???
