Do you really think that Single moms are respected in this world??

Question

i just want to know tht what is the place of single mom's in this world. do u think th all fault is does to moms??

Answer 1

Not really. Between teenage pregnancy, welfare moms, and women who cheat their husbands out of custody, most single mothers are viewed negatively. The only type of single mother I could ever feel any sympathy for is a widow.

Answer 2

With the exception of the death of a parent, probably not, but it seems they are respected more than a single father.

Single mom's are often viewed as victims that have been abandoned by the babies father. Although this does happen, it isn't always the case.

Since the courts still favor the mother in a child custody hearing, and all too frequently ignore a father's parental rights, a single father is typically viewed as someone that must have manipulated the system or lied and said horrible things about the child's mother in order to get custody.

All situations are unique, so before anyone starts getting into detail, understand that I am basing both circumstances on situations where assumptions are made and the facts are seldom known to those passing judgment.

Answer 3

Happy Bullet is dead on target. Feminism has promoted that women can "do it all" without men...including raising children. What has traditionally been viewed as a tragic situation (both parents not present at home) has been placed on a pedestal by feminists...something women must achieve (according to feminists) to prove their worth. The truth, as has been noted, is that single mothers CAN'T "do it all". The kids grow up maladjusted...interestingly enough much more likely to create more "single-mother" situations, thereby perpetuating the problem. Single-parents are a tragic situation...and anybody who tries to put it on a pedestal like some kind of merit-badge of acheivement needs to shut up and get a clue.

I think single moms get more respect than they used to... but, based on the majority of reasons for them being in that situation, get more respect than they deserve. After all, the kids don't get the merit-badge...they just pay the price for it.

Answer 4

It depends on whether she has been responsible in her decision to have a child; ie. with the intent of providing the child with the stability that comes with a solid relationship with the father and, then, something has disrupted that and she, unfortunately, has to bear the burden of caring for the child on her own. However, there are many people in our society who would not care one way or another altthough this is not equivalent with "respect." If YOU are a single mom, do your best by your child/children and then you will have earned the respect of others and, hopefully, that of your children. In answer to your question, that is the place of single mom's in the world.

Answer 5

Anyone who is decent respects other human beings unless some really evil person does something that isn't worthy of respect (I mean criminals who victimize people).

I think when women are mature (30's) and have good jobs and decide to become mothers before their clock runs out they are usually respected. The key to what many people find respectable is that many people take bringing a life into the world very, very, seriously and believe babies should only be brought into the world if their parent(s) has a comfortable, stable, home and a mature, sensible, mother with solid understanding about parenting and nurturing the child's intellect and emotional wellbeing.

Many people don't approve much of the single mother who has a baby with one boyfriend and then another baby with another boyfriend. Some people don't think its healthy for children when their single mother later gets a live-in boyfriend (and then maybe another one and another one). Many people believe that babies/children need a mother who is mature, rather than one who is still very young. Sometimes single mothers have to leave their children in iffy daycare situations in order to work at low-wage jobs and have little time with the children and little money to provide for them - so those are the things people don't approve of when it comes to single mothers.

Many people believe that no matter how much someone wants a baby if they were really "mother-material" they would love their baby enough before it was even conceived to ignore their wish to have a baby and wait until the time and situation is better. Many people also believe that people who really don't want to bring a baby into the world will make sure they don't. There are ways not to let "accidents" happen.

Having said all that, the fact is what other people think about a single mother doesn't count for anything. It isn't anyone's business, and most people are actually so busy with their own lives they don't spend time worrying about what other people are doing.

The place of single mothers in this world is the same as the place for everyone else. In spite of people's often having standards that are a little more rigid, most people are also pretty fair-minded and reasonable enough not to spend their energy stewing over what someone else does. It isn't anyone's business anyway, and that's the thing single mothers may need to keep telling themselves.

Their role in the world is the role of mother. I think they should be an example of what they hope their child(ren) will become. I think they need to put their children's needs first and sometimes put off some things they'd like for themselves in order to do what is best for the child(ren).

No matter what anyone does there will always be people who disapprove, so single mothers and anybody else can't spin their wheels worrying about who approves. Our world has a set of things that are considered prestigious - wealth, excellent colleges, high-level careers, nice neighborhoods, etc. The world generally doesn't see a young, single, mother as someone with prestige; but then again, there are a whole lot of people who have one thing or another that lacks prestige. When young people bring a child into the world they essentially decide to give up a lot of stuff that may otherwise have been able to have, and prestige (to whatever extent it matters to anyone) is often one of those things.

Still, if single mothers are excellent mothers and teach their children in a way that the children will do well in school and in social situations; and if single mothers behave in a way that is respectable - they'll earn respect for themselves.

Being a single mother (never married) doesn't generally impress many people, but it doesn't have to doom a young woman to a life of inferiority and second-class status.

I think most people think that single mothers were young and wanted a baby so badly they went ahead and had one in this day and age when young women are essentially told its ok. Most people, though, would like nothing better than to see single mothers earn an excellent income and send their children to college. When all is said and done, it isn't what the mother does that people kind of disapprove of. Its whether a child has the type of childhood and opportunities that every child deserves.

Single mothers shouldn't worry about what "place" is their in the world. They need to take charge of their own little world, and define through their actions, what their place will be. Every child deserves a childhood in which his mother has defined a dignified, safe, and wonderful environment in which he can grow up knowing his place in this world is right up where everybody else's is.

A defiant 7 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous would not could desire to be medicated. in case you could, community including your colleges Social worker for resourses for counseling and behaviour scientific care. everybody has reviews yet what you like is a few help...to maintain your sanity and get your baby on the ideal suited music. perhaps join him in a high quality Karate college that teaches admire and self-discipline. Its a protracted stressful highway yet once you're persistant and consistant you will see a transformation. Rmemeber you are the grownup and you're making the strategies. God Bless and draw close in there

Answer 7

Sad to say single mothers have a very difficult time, and they have very little respect.But I think a lot of neighbors should be ashamed to. We live across the street from a low income housing place and my wife is always reaching out to help and encourage these young mothers. I am so proud of her and I should be. It makes a difference in the neighborhood when they can have a little help when needed, instead of people just setting around talking about them. Everyone needs a break once in awhile.So all you folks that just want to talk about single parents, get off your duff and offer a little help, you will be rewarded with love and appreciation.

Answer 8

Single mothers aren't respected but what respect they have is too much.

First of all, no man wants a woman who already has a kid. Doesn't matter what you see on television, the personal's pages of the newspaper are overflowing with single mothers.

Second of all, children without fathers are far more statistically likely to grow up socially maladjusted. The greatest common denominator among violent criminals in prison is that they were brought up without a father. I suggest you read the Garbage Generation:

Third of all, 40% of single mothers gave birth out of wedlock:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15835429/

or were a part of the 70% of divorces are no fault initiated by the wife statistic, so the majority had a significant hand in their situation.

Whatever feminism claims to be about, it would appear to be, more than anything, about creating a world filled with single mothers. The rate of single mothers has steadily risen since the dawn of feminism.

Answer 9

Yes and no.
No because it seems that there are a lot of assumptions made about how this child does not have a father. I think it is a difficult burden for not only the mother, but the parents of the mother and the child.
Yes, because anyone who has raised a child on their own knows what a difficult task this is, and all their hearts are with you.

Answer 10

single mom here, and honestly could give a big flying rats *** whether I am respected by the majority of the world or not. I raise my kids, I love my kids, I provide for my kids and I don;t walk around with my tail between my legs because someone thinks I made a few bad choices. Boohoo, I made a bad choice in someone else's opinion. If I spent all of my time trying to please every single person out there I think I would die of exhaustion and simple disappointment in myself before my kids even got to know me. I go my own way and have a grand old time doing so.

Answer 11

No I do not think that single moms are respected in this world same as I don't think single dads are respected in this world.
