No, not all single mothers fall into that category and you know it. Just as not all single fathers fall into the deadbeat dad category. Is is horridly harder to raise a child on your own as opposed to with the other parent also being there? Absolutely but it can be done and successfully so.

Yes, it is WAY harder, but doable. I see the up-close results of parents who worry more about themselves than their kids (I deal with minors who have committed serious crimes). This does not apply to all single moms by any means, but I can't believe the number of them who make dumb choices, either dating a succession of men, not healthy for their kids, or making the kinds of choices this mother did. Did they not realize that by having kids, they signed on to put the kids' welfare first?

The stripper/mom took the easy bucks instead of finding something that would not affect her child, a total innocent in this whole situation. I'm glad the church and the mom were able to work it out so the child could remain in school, but I doubt that the mother learned anything from all this except that many people supported her breaking the contract she had made and went after the "Christians". Too bad that energy wasn't expended into helping her reroute her choices.

Did you read my post?

Do you understand the meaning of as a class?

You do not, I hope, contend that the economic status, health status, and physical safety of children living with single mothers is in any way comparable to that of children living with their fathers, do you?
