Raising Teenage Boys Without a Dad

This has been the hardest year of my life. I can not be a mother and father to two teenagers. I can only be who I am. I am their mother without a husband. I know they have enough role models around them. I attend the most wonderful church in Texas, or the US for that matter. They have youth leaders and big brothers that are wonderful men of God. But they don't have the everyday time they need to spend with a Dad. A Dad to horseplay on the ground, to throw the ball with, to go fishing with, or just talk to. So as a parent without a spouse, I will just try and keep them surrounded with other male role models and pray that everything will work out as it should.

I'm rasing my 9yr old son on my own. I had him young and it's hard because his father is not in his life and it's a problem in his behaviour at school and else where.

Well my son is now in junior high and his behaviour has improved but he has an attitude problem that annoys me. What can i do about that pre teen attitude?
