Do children of Single Mothers often have difficulties finding love?
Children from a Single mom that is divorced or separated.
Any pattern here?

What is your observation/experience?
Just wondering.

i hear a lot of divorced women, whose ex’s take the kids on teh weekends, vacations, pay child support, etc, refer to themselves as single moms.

Personally, i think a single mom is one who is truly doing it on her own. Has the kids 24/7 with minimal, if any, child support.

What do you think of divorced moms who refer to themselves as "single" moms? does that fit your definition of a single mom? Why don’t you ever hear divorced dads refer to themselves as "single" dads?

I hear so much of the time about how so-and-so is a single mom and it’s great that she’s strong and independent and trying to do two things at the same time. What about single dads?

Considering that the majority of the time the women get sole custody of the kids at first initially, where is the love for single dads who have to get the kids away from bad mothers?

I’m not a single dad myself lol. I’m 19 and go to college, but it just had me wondering. Single dads should get more praise in society…if they’re doing what’s right as a father.

I am a single mom and my daughter is still very young but my friend made the comment to me yesterday that she may grow up to be rebellious because she only has one parent. I have heard the statistics for children raised in single parent homes (that they end up getting into drugs, crime, etc) but I know that these facts are not true for every single person. My question is, if you were raised in a single parent home and did not end up taking the "bad road" in life, what was it that your parents did that made the difference for you? Or, if you are a single parent, what will you do or what are you doing to keep your child on the right path? I do not have a lot of people who I can ask for advice so I would really appreciate some tips on how to keep her away from that kind of life. I know as parents, we can only do so much to protect our children before they decide to explore things on their own, but I just want to make sure that I did everything I possibly could. Thank you.

The woman now has 14 children, of the six she already had 3 have physical disabilities and there is a high probability that some of the 8 she just gave birth to will have problems as well. It was recently discovered the woman was taking welfare payments from the state of California to support the 6 children she already has. She lives in a 3 bedroom house in California with her elderly parents. Her mother stated in a television interview that she and her brood need to find a new place to live in a few months when the octuplets are home from the hospital. The state of California is talking about taking all of the children away from this woman because she will not be able to pay for and care for them properly. In your opinion is this woman mentally ill. I know sane women who would have a hard time caring and providing for 14 children let a lone a single mom.
