It is not just single parents
Well of parents are the worse
My daughter is one of them
She baby sat at twelve and the kids got away with nothing
Her own kids get everything and get away with everything
There going to have a hell of a time when there teenagers
When she babysat the kids got away with NOTHING? OF COURSE. That was EASY since she was a mere visitor.
As for her own children...is there no "hammer" in the house? My dear, wonderful daddy was the HAMMER. A home without a hammer WILL fall apart. Who's going to drive in the nails to keep the walls from tumbling down?
Granted, there are weak fathers, but USUALLY children need mommy for the first 12 years of life. THEN they need DAD for their teenage years.
DAD teaches his children how to deal with adult male authority. That's especially true for black fathers. Where there is an absence of fathers, there is almost always trouble.
Just ask the men and women behind bars: mostly "daddy-less" homes.
