Human: I'm a single parent and my son is having a birthday party. How should I handle the gift? Assistant: 
You can decide how to handle the gift based on your own personal situation, but it's important to remember that children are very sensitive to gifts and any kind of pressure from adults around them. It would be best if you could approach the gift in a way that feels comfortable for both you and your child. For example, you might want to consider buying something special together or making a card with thoughtful messages inside.
