Would you ever have kids on your own as a single woman if you don't end up finding the right man?

Having kids is a lot of responsibility. And it’s no secret that a child ideally needs both a man and woman role model in their development.




There are many examples of children developing social issues when lacking or having poor examples of male or female role models

[Asker]

kamala harris, barack obama, JD vance, elon musk all grew up without fathers.

[Danny_dan92]

You’re incorrect about Elon. His parents divorced and he chose to live with his father

[Asker]

@danny_dan92

bill clinton also spent most of his childhood without a father either.

[Asker]

we have a white house filled with the most powerful people in the world who grew up without fathers. i think it's time to stop talking shit about kids raised by single moms

[Asker]

A google search also shows president george washington also grew up without a father. So Did andrew jackson

[Anonymous]

That doesn't seem like a good idea. Children need a lot of care and attention. There being only one parent is only beneficial when the 2nd parent sucks. You might be able to pull it off of you make enough money, but than people you hire are raising your children.

[Asker]

In my culture, grandparents take care of their grand children. So I won't need to hire anyone

[Opinion Owner]

My parents provide help for my sister, but both parents are active. I still think it's important both parents are active in their children's lives.

[Asker]

actually barack obama, kamala harris, JD vance, andew jackson, president george Washington, bill Clinton were all raised by single moms.

I think it's time to stop shitting on kids raised by single moms. there is plenty of proof they can succeed in life.

[Opinion Owner]

All of those people, beside Washington, aren't exactly people I would look up to.

[Asker]

well because you have a bad taste in presidents. No matter how much you look down on them, they will always be a million miles higher than you.

[Opinion Owner]

Vance, Obama, and Clinton don't belong in the same category as presidents like George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, or Abraham Lincoln. Just because some obtains power, doesn't mean he is deserving of it. Are you saying Mao Zedong and Stalin are people to look up to?

[Asker]

doesn't matter if you look up to them or not.

their single mothers raised very successful children.

much more successful than you.

[Opinion Owner]

It's all about statistics. All I'm saying is that it is better for both parents to be present, statistically. Statistically, this is true. There are obviously outliers. If one parent is a crackhead, obviously the other partner separating will be beneficial to the child. Statistically, a single father does better than a single mother. I'd still prefer a mother in the picture.

[Asker]

@opinion owner

you don't need a father in the picture to succeed and there is plenty proof of that.

the reason why general statistics show that kids don't do as well in single mother households is because these homes are usually under poverty. Dual income households don't tend to be as poor which is why kids do better.

Bill Clinton, barack obama, kamala harris, JD vance weren't raised by poor single mothers under poverty. they were raised middle class which was why they did so well.

[Opinion Owner]

You are ignoring my point. It facilates success. A child will always be better off with two good parents as apposed to just one. I don't like Vance, but he wasn't raised in the middle class. Have you not heard of Hillbilly Elegy? I could refute your point with an abundent amount of successful people raised by two parents.

[Asker]

@opinion owner

success has nothing to do with having two parents. Studies have shown that gay and lesbian parents tend to raise kids that do better in school. I can show you the study if you want. why? because lesbian and gay parents tend to be able to afford IVF and reproductive technologies to have those kids... which means that gay and lesbian parents tend to be more financially stable than heterosexual parents.

[Asker]

@opinion owner

New study indicates children raised by same-sex parents perform better at school

[Anonymous]

Yes, I already have. I used a sperm donor from a bank because I don’t ever want to date again.

[Nikki1989]

Nope. I made the decision not to ever have kids over 20 years ago.

[HighValue]

Food stamps and free medical care should be abolished for single parents. Women need to stop stealing from men. Intentionally having a kid without a partner is stealing from the men that pay taxes.

[Asker]

and what makes you think a woman who can afford to pay for expensive sperm bank and IVF would qualify for food stamps?

[HighValue]

Plenty of them stop working after they have a kid so they can live off free benefits. There are also sometimes grants, or employer provided healthcare benefits that sometimes cover most of the cost too.

[Asker]

@highvalue

Not all single moms are broke

More and more single moms are rich

[Pterodon]

@HighValue it’s also extremely selfish. Fathers matter especially for daughters

[truthteller234]

@Pterodon

kamala harris, barack obama, JD vance, george washington also grew up without a father. So Did andrew jackson

[Pterodon]

Very small number.

[truthteller234]

@Pterodon

Bill Clinton too.

[truthteller234]

@Pterodon

We have plenty of presidents and vice presidents who were raised by single moms. It's time for you to stop talking shit about them

[Pterodon]

I’m standing by what I said. Knowingly denying a child a father is incredibly selfish. You wouldn’t have a kid at all without him. Fathers matter.

[Pterodon]

It also seems the majority of your fatherless politicians are all liberal democrats and we know democrats hate white men so not a very good point

[Pterodon]

Hairyass, Obama, Clinton? That isn’t a very good list. Obama was a pussy coward that wouldn’t stand up to Iran and all three hate America and Americans. They’re as bat shit crazy as it gets

[truthteller234]

@Pterodon

Yea it's plenty of proof you CAN succeed without a father. It's just men get pissed when they realize kids do fine without them

[Pterodon]

Again a very few

[truthteller234]

@Pterodon

definitely not very few. we have a white house filled with them.

[HighValue]

Most single mothers that aren't broke either stole from a man in divorce or is living off daddy government. There are statistics to prove that if you take the time to look into it.

[truthteller234]

@HighValue

There are also statistics showing there are more female homeowners than male

[LazerBean]

No, I wouldn't do something that selfish and negligent to a child.

[Pterodon]

Many would denying a child a father which really are necessary.

[Asker]

Haha says the same guy who would ditch his kid cuz he was born out of wedlock

[Pterodon]

My son was born out of wedlock and wasn’t ditched so what are you talking about

[queenofcardio]

No, having kids isn't a priority for me

[Agape93]

I wouldn't have kids period.

[Pterodon]

If I could do it over I wouldn’t have any

[Iron_Man]

That would be a very difficult decision

[Asker]

Definitely not difficult at all.

[Iron_Man]

It depends how bad you want a kid and if you wanna raise the kid by yourself alone

[Asker]

I will have my parents help out. I'd rather raise the kid as a single mom than have no kid at all.

[Iron_Man]

Ok good for you

[Pterodon]

So you really think you could do a fathers role as good or better than a father? 🤣 you’re delusional

[truthteller234]

@Pterodon

plenty of kids do very well without fathers

[Pterodon]

Not the majority. The majority of fatherless kids don’t do as good especially daughters so your plenty is an illusion

[truthteller234]

@Pterodon

It has nothing to do with lack of a father. It has to do with poverty. Single mother households tend to be more likely to be under poverty than dual income households. Because there is proof that kids born to financially well off single moms tend to do well in life.

[Pterodon]

You just made my point. Why would women think fathers aren’t needed?

[truthteller234]

@Pterodon

Because plenty of kids grew up without fathers to be most powerful people in the world

[Pterodon]

Your plenty is a very small majority

[Pterodon]

Minority 🤣🙏

[MissSunshine2]

Me personally? No.

[lilBigPotato]

Nope.

[Mamasssaaan]

I don't know
