Here's Why I Think The Concept Of Single Mums Is A Bad Thing (Page 2)

[Phoenix98]

You don't need statistics and studies to know that single parenting isn't the most ideal thing for either the parent or child/children.

[Astronautalophitecus]

The whole reason this simply and empirically deduced fact needs research is because of how brainwashed people are because of feminism.

[Anon-ymous1]

It's whatever; I'm just not attracted to them, personally.

[Rissyanne]

A lot of single moms are in that situation because they made poor choices.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I bet this so called research is bullshit... single mothers are the antithesis of these claims 9 times out of 10.

[blackpantherbig]

of course kids shall have both parents. but I admire them and wish them all the best!!

[Anonymous]

You are right. They should have just had an abortion.

[bubbles328]

Maybe if your parents thought that way there’d be one less judgmental asshole that hides behind anonymous with crude opinions

[Opinion Owner]

If your parents thought that way, there'd be one less moron who doesn't know how to take a joke.

[bubbles328]

I don’t particularly see the joke of aborting my kids TBH and it would be sick if I did

[Opinion Owner]

Unsurprising.

[Waffles731]

I don't know Stephen king seemed to turn out all right

[Anonymous]

Can I have you actual source of this Research. :

''Research shows marital status within families has no impact on children so whether the parents are cohabiting or married makes no difference to the child.''

Because my uncle (Psychologist) says otherwise... I just want to prove him wrong... you know

[bubbles328]

Is that the bit that says underneath info provided by London institute for fiscal studies 😂😂

[Opinion Owner]

London institute for fiscal studies... since when an accountant is also Psychologist... nice BS

[Opinion Owner]

or an economist

[bubbles328]

Hmmm I wonder if you’re looking a thing the right page last time I checked they had hundreds of researchers? 🤔

[Anonymous]

I don't see the trend of single motherhood changing any time soon...

[sedrftvgyhujik]

Just shows there's way to many teen pregnancies now.

[lilaqua]

um, there's less teen pregnancies now

[bubbles328]

@lilaqua less than 2% of pregnancies are teens in the UK now however people still think it’s ok to steriotype. This rate is at the lowest it’s ever been. When I was a child it was worth getting pregnant at 16 you were given a house and a free ride until your youngest hit 16 but it’s not like that anymore hence why there’s less teen pregnancies but that’s all people still think of now! It’s sad really

Why do i smell feminists promoting single parenthood?

[Djaaay]

Because your probably absolutely correct , UK , sh...

[Opinion Owner]

@Djaaay it looks like a feminist article, reeks like a feminist author and it tries to prove via shady "studies", that those with a single parent are somehow better and more successful than those with parents, who didn't separate.

Maybe because it is a feminist author.

Or maybe single parenthood is going to exceed non-separated parents.

[Djaaay]

Feminism has a agenda of (lesbianism) . And (all ) feminist are non-believers and or atheist. Funny how this articulates their disgust against both God and man together. Evil demonic wicked bitches is all they are agaist mankind.

[Opinion Owner]

@Djaaay okay, i don't like where this is going because I'm an atheist myself.

[bubbles328]

Ok so it’s ok to slam a feminist but not an atheist cos you are one? Na that’s not right if you’re willing to slam an entire group because of what you believe be willing to be slammed yourself for the groups you fit into! Do you not get it? Doesn’t matter what or who you are you will be in a minority for something!
No I’m not a feminist I don’t see genders in people and see them for who they are regardless of gender, race or nationality! I am also an atheist myself. Just because this take stands up for a minority group of women doesn’t make the author a feminist it means I am standing up for my point of view as a SM just as you would yours as an atheist.
In truth I was married when I had kids to a guy that was my best friend and had been for years! Things turned very sour on his part drugs, not helping run our business etc and I left. Since leaving him my little family are doing better than we ever could have with him and I know that for a fact! Cont...

[Djaaay]

Opinion owner... You just believe you are...

[Djaaay]

Asker... Start slamming then , in ready...

[bubbles328]

Gov stats are based on numbers BAM! 30% of single mums don’t work 90% claim benefits but what about the qualitative? The reasons behind these numbers? These references aren’t shady they just identify why those numbers are how they are and are a deeper insight to how single parents really are! Single mums don’t sit at home depressed bashing their exes which is the stereotype for them! And like atheists we aren’t going to burn in hell for our lifestyle or choices that is the view people have on other groups that don’t share their beliefs.
So as you would stand up for your point of being an atheist I’m standing up for mine as a SM

[bubbles328]

@Djaaay why? Have you ever heard of the gospel of Thomas? Picked up a newspaper or watched the news? In my eyes religion is evil and causes so much harm and destruction. Just because you believe in god and went to church on a Sunday it doesn’t make bad behaviours you commit Monday-Saturday forgiven. You don’t have to go to church to feed the poor or help people and if you truly are a good person wouldn’t you rather spend 2 hours a week helping people than sitting in your Sunday best being preached at about how to help people?
No I’m not religious but for 90mins a week I go to the local church hall and give classes to young girls to support their self esteem and help them make friends! Does it make me a bad person because I don’t spend that 90min in a service instead? No

[Opinion Owner]

Commonly single mothers made a choice (a mistake) to be what they are. I'm not saying all single mothers are like that but quite a majority of them did like their peers did: Sleeping with (bad) men, getting pregnant and then turning into a single mother, where they don't even know the favorite food of the father or his birthday. If separation happens later than that, then yes, that IS unfortunate.

I'm *not* attacking single mothers even if it seems so but I can't respect single mothers, who thought, that they could get away with having unprotected sex with terrible men, that they barely knew or thought they love.

[Djaaay]

Asker... Your right , religion is evil. How come you only teach girls? And not guys at the same time? You also mentioned your atheist , why are you even in church ? Doesn't sound to good

[bubbles328]

I didn’t make mistakes he was a good man and he worked and earned enough to support us then randomly took to drugs. I told him to stop the drugs or I go he didn’t so I took our kids and left. Things went from bad to worse for him and now he’s in a really bad place. We haven’t seen him in years
Was it all a mistake? No I love my kids they are my little people and i don’t really see them as a part of him anymore. a lot of women meet another guy then feel the need to have more kids because that’s the norm for me it’s not. My kids are my motivation in life I don’t know where I would be today if it wasn’t for them but I wouldn’t have succeeded as far as I have! I just think like any other minority we shouldn’t be tarred with the same brush! Yes I know stereotype single mums there are a few out there and I find the way they treat their kids is disgusting! But the vast majority are good and are doing well

[bubbles328]

@Djaaay my daughter is religious and as a teacher I was asked to take on these classes while taking her to the church one day. Women teach the girls classes men the boys! It’s to provide them with a confident role model women can hardly be a male role model can they?

[Djaaay]

Asker... Women can't hardly be a male role model can they ? MY WHOLE POINT !!

[bubbles328]

@Djaaay that’s why I don’t teach boys you asked the question
And just because a Mum is single doesn’t mean there’s no male RM boys play sports or attend classes like above have grandfathers and uncles. I don’t understand what you are getting at here

[Opinion Owner]

That is unfortunate indeed. If the father and your former man used to be a good man but turned into a degenerate, then I don't blame you for becoming a single mother. Shit happens and we all have to do what it takes to survive.
In this case you are not like the common and stereotypical single mother, who thought, that an unprotected one-night-stand with someone she barely even knows or ignores the red flags would be fun and nothing would happen. Not like this at least.

[bubbles328]

But the common steriotypical mother isn’t all single mums a lot have stories like mine or one day the man ran off with his 20 something secretary. When a lot of people get married they don’t marry a degenerate they know is going to cheat they go into that thinking it will last but unfortunately now almost 50% of marriages end in divorce.
There are still women that will prevent kids from seeing daddy just because he breathed wrong and that’s wrong it does hurt the kids. But even now after all my ex did if he contacted me tomorrow and said can I see them I would ask them if they wanted to I would make sure it was safe and supervised by one of my family members. Not all single mums are like the norm infact most aren’t but people can’t see that! They just see the typical council estate non working mother with 5 kids and a cig in her mouth! when infact this is a very small percentage

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, well, I can't say for sure because I have only seen one single mother in my life (I actually know her), who can't get a job despite trying. I don't know her story.

Then I know of a mother of at least 2 boys, who has certainly divorced (And after that was a single mother) and married another man. I know her too and she is working for survival as we all would. Good on her I'd say. She is a nice woman from what I can tell.

Other than that I don't know of anyone, who's a single mother or has been. I only hear much about the stereotyped lazy and irresponsible sort of single mother, who is unemployed and leeches off from welfare :/

[bubbles328]

I was raised in a family which if you got married you stayed married I was the first to get divorced. It can happen to anyone including men and most do work hard for their family. Single parenting isn’t an easy job especially if you do it right. Benefits scrounger are out there but this to me is an outdated concept

[ElisaPlease]

Luckily I don’t want any kids:)

[NYCQuestions1976]

I'm a single parent and I love being a father.

[BillieJean1070]

I couldn't handle it
