“Young men, Be weary of single women with single mothers, it may be a trap.”

I had a single mother-—she was widowed at 31-—never on welfare and worked like a dog to raise the two of us. Don’t generalize.

Widowed is totally different from "single", and it show up in statistics of children raised without fathers. Widowed is very close to "married".
“I had a single mother-—she was widowed at 31-—never on welfare and worked like a dog to raise the two of us. Don’t generalize.”
Then bless that woman. And nobody sane would put her in the category of women who crank out a few babies out of wedlock irresponsibly.
I think the research even bears this out. A single mom by choice is one thing, A single mom by forced circumstance is a very different thing. The difference being that the deceased father is “there” in spirit, if not physically.
The study i saw involved kids raised by the numerous single moms created by WWII. The fathers photo was there, and he was still loved, and the kids know he wishes he was there.
The study basically decided that such single motherhood created good kids.
It’s nothing like what people are referring to here in the modern era. And im sure everyone here respects your mom carrying that load out of necessity she didnt choose.
