Are single-parent children less fortunate than children from complete families?

Question

its 4 my homework.tyty

Answer 1

Yes they are less fortunate. No matter how hard a single mom tries she cannot be the mom and dad and the same goes for single dads.

I babysit a 5yr. old boy whose mommy walked out on him at 6 weeks old. His dad has raised him by himself, he is not remarried and has no girlfriend. His dad has done a great job but he cannot fill the place of a mother. When this child comes to my house he loves on me and wants lots of hugs. He's constantly telling me he loves me and it's clear he is missing a mother-son relationship.

Both parents are very important in a child's life no matter what society tries to say. They can't always have both parents because there will always be dead beats. But never the less they are very important.

Answer 2

Although my opinion is that usually that is the case that single-parent children are less fortunate than children from complete families, meaning in a one-man and one-woman marriage, I have heard on Focus on the Family radio program that a family with one parent who is happy may do better than when the father is reckless, addicted, dysfunctional, etc.

Answer 3

Not always. It is good for a child to have 2 positive adult role models, but it is not always possible. Perhaps one of the parents was abusive, addicted to drugs or alcohol, or too lazy to clean and get a job. All of those are good reasons to remove that person's influence on a child. Sometimes a single parent family is better than having the other parent around. They do suffer if there is not enough money to go around, or if the parent is too busy working to spend adequate time with the child(ren).

Answer 4

not always, normally yes. for e.g. they don't get the same amount of confidence that children of the same age would recieve from their parents, also not many opinions when it come to making decisions, so the single- parent kids would seem more confused and lost. but, at the same time there are cases where such children are more fortunate than kids who have both parents. so, it all depends on how the parent is, and how he/she brings up the child.

Answer 5

No. i won't think of my existence without my kin. There are loads of situations i've got faith pissed off because of the fact I actually think of i want something to fill my time incredibly, now that our women are purely somewhat older. they're 11 and 9. i'm pleased with a factor time pastime interior the close to destiny. With that on my own, i'm specific it is going to shop me busy sufficient with all I do at dwelling house. And somewhat added funds. i admire being a mommy and a spouse. I savour retaining my hubby happy at dwelling house and looking out after our young infants, dwelling house, and so on. As to those that chosen to no longer have a kin over a profession, it rather is thoroughly comprehensible. you're making a valid factor. If as an occasion a woman turns right into a well being care expert, and not in any respect have a kin that incredibly shows to be a loving ingredient to do. some anybody is likewise merely no longer cut back out to have a kin. yet do incredible issues with their time together with advance right into a doctor.

Answer 6

Yes. We have to live the rest of our lives with abandonment issues. I think that a single parent can definitely do a great job raising children, because my mom did, but there is always something in the back of your mind that makes you feel like you were cheated.

Answer 7

I am from a single parent home and I am grateful that I am as blessed, healthy and happy as I am. I am a public school teacher, own my own business and have many family and friends. I think that instead of single parent home versus two parent homes the real key is living in a stable home filled with lots of love, respect, consideration and hard work.

Answer 8

hi i am from a single parent family i am female and grew up with my dad, he wasnt the best dad and it wasnt the greatest environment to grow up in but i turned out great, i have a wonderful son and am in a great relationship but on the other hand my brother also grew up in the same environment and he has been in jail 3 times and had no luck in relationships, work or other aspects of life. I am sorry if this confused you but thought you would be interested in both sides of the story.

Answer 10

Yes. They get bullied in school by those turds who think that having a complete family makes them more superior, and when they get older they start to wonder if they did something wrong to cause that absent parent to leave. Or, if that parent had not abandoned the family, but had gone to heaven, then the kid starts to blame him/herself for the parent's death. Like, they think that they caused their mother/father's death. Psychological imbalance.
