But these are from my perspective. :) Pros: - The child will become extremely close with that parent - The child will spend get to know extended family more (since everyone knows single parents can use all the help they can get) - The child will get lots of social interaction at a young age, possibly at a daycare or babysitters. - The child will learn that its not always a bad thing if life is unfair, and that you can accomplish things alone. Cons - Only one parent to make the money, keep up with the house and children. - Sometimes less time is available to spend with the kids, thus the term "Latchkey kid" - With only one income the child might go without much more than other children -The child could become spoiled because the parent feels guilty that their child has only one parent. And I'm not quite sure I understand your other question. sorry. :( Well technically it all depends on that one single parent. But these are from my perspective. :)
