It does generally just from a pragmatic reality. Having someone to help pick up the kids, watch the kids, feed the kids, etc etc etc... A second income, or possibly a primary income so you can stop or cut back working etc etc... depending on the situation...
I get the allure to have a partner... but these single parents (mothers in particular) have to wake the hell up....

For millennia women have valued getting married after the man proves that he will be just such a provider. Having a family after that and after marriage.
Now it’s not valued. Now having a guy around is supposed to be helpful. If he isn’t everyone hates on him. It’s like a bad show people watch.
But as usual people comment on the situation or let it happen with no mention of how the kids feel about it
I would want my mother bringing some stupid guy around after my father left us
That’s the only thing that should matter. The kids are innocent. People can blame kids or say how brave they are but people rarely say anything critical to or about mothers.
They’re right about everything. They have to have companionship. They deserve bla bla bla
They can stop perpetuating mend as behavior by demanding that men act like citizens, providers and gentlemen before anyones doing any ‘companionship’
And the kids can get off to college before any of that happens when the father has deserted the family and the innocent kids
The kids deserve…
