Only if they’re married.
BTW I watched a gazillion Christmas movies over the holidays (ok, it’s a weakness of mine) and it was interesting how many of them involved single mothers. In fact, almost ALL of them centered around a single mom who was wonderful. Now, it’s not to say that I don’t think there are wonderful single moms, but aren’t at least a few of them not wonderful? The media loves single mom’s for some reason. Maybe because they don’t like men very much.

“...almost ALL of them centered around a single mom who was wonderful.”
This has been going on since the late 70’s. I remember TV commercials back then would show the lack of a male parent in the family unit.

Liberal propaganda trying to promote their "alternative lifestyle" as reasonable and normal.

Watched a movie the other day in which one of the main characters was living in an "open marriage." It was portrayed as a "wonderful, freeing experience" which made both parties' lives better...right.

It has a lot to do with the drama.

Note that in many classic fairy tales, the protagonist did not grow up in a traditional two-parent household.

I grit my teeth when I see these movies-—I has the SINGLE father who worked two jobs to provide for us kids while “the stuck in 60’s” wife was out boozing,doing drugs and sleeping around......people are absolutely bewildered when I tell them I never send a mothers day card......sorry—just a little bitter

Yup, that and the Oprahfication of America. Whatever you ask for, you get more of, and when Oprah trots out some welfare cow with 6 kids from 8 different fathers and introduces "Shinequa! A single MOOOOOooommm from Detroit who's valiantly struggling to blah blah blah" ...well, that's what people see and aspire to.
