My daughter's about to turn 16 next month and I raised her alone since about 4 yrs old. I was fortunate to have some hunting buddies whose wives would help out during the early years, but as soon as she was about 8 or so she would get wrapped up like a camoflaged michelon woman and sleep on the trip out, spot for us. These days I have to work hard to get her up and out (she's become kind of a fair weather outdoorsperson) for the hunting and her tastes have gone more towards fishing, trap, target shooting and golf. She has become quite the academic and a young lady folks give me positive comments about on a regular basis.
Raising kids today or in the past isn't/wasn't easy, especially for city folks. You just have to make time for 'em, make them try new things and make the new endeavors fun as well as educational. They're sponges and will suck up anything you lay on their plate, just keep in mind they usually have the attention span of a knat, so do yourself a favor and bring some puzzles and snacks for between flights, keep 'em warm, dry and comfortable.
