Yes, it is harder to be a single mother. Single mothers often face an immense amount of financial and emotional stress that can be difficult to manage on their own. Managing day-to-day tasks, such as providing for the family financially and emotionally, can become overwhelming when there is no partner or support system in place. Additionally, many single mothers have to juggle multiple jobs while also parenting on their own which can lead to feelings of exhaustion and burnout. Furthermore, without another parent around, single moms may feel isolated from friends or family who are raising children with two parents due to differences in lifestyle or experiences. All these factors make it harder for single mothers who are trying to provide the best life possible for themselves and their families despite the added difficulties they face each day.
