I can understand this. The stability of this type of situation, for the child, would be preferable, IMHO, to shacking up solely for the sake of having a “father” around or entering into a no-hope-for-success-or-happiness marriage, or a homosexual “marriage” or “civil union”.
No, these women are selfish. They are causing great harm to their children.
If they cannot bring children into a home with a husband/father as head of household, then they should forget it.
This is not what the scenario described in this article is about. These are women deliberately choosing single parenthood and shutting out any other option. The traditional family is the basic unit of society.
