r/b, no one is saying that one-parent families are horrible, are they? No. So why are you jumping to that conclusion?
I’m just saying what everyone already knows – almost everyone anyway – which is just that one-parent families as a rule have a much harder time of it than two-parent families.
Which is so obvious that you don’t even need statistics to prove it. All you have to do is look around you and look at all the extra stresses that a single parent has on her. Stress that comes from:
► Having much less income
► Having to pay for a babysitter or having to take the kids everywhere with you
► Having to deal with discipline issues alone
► Having to deal with school issues alone
► More dependent on outsiders for help
And we’re not even talking teen mothers here. But if we were, then you’d have to times everything by two. Teen mothers have to deal with all the money and babysitting stuff plus grow up at the same time.
