Reply #53: You need to step back [View All]

You're way too defensive to have a reasoned discussion with on this..

Ill tell you a story:

A few months ago my wife was hospitalized and I was left for 6 weeks as basically a single father. I could not keep up at work, I could barely keep the house up, and I spent less time with the kids because I was doing the work of two people. By the time I finally got them to bed at 8:30 I was ready to pass out but instead I did bills, mail, got cloths and food laid out for the next day and passed out at about 9:30 only to wake up and start the whole thing over at 5:30 the next day.

There is nothing wrong with single mothers (parents), but its a crap load harder to do it alone than with someone else and to say 80% of mothers doing on their own is in any way shape or form good for the next generation is completely delusional. Are some people strong enough to do it? of course but at the marco level an 80% single parent home life will hurt then next generation.
