Do you really think being a single mother is virtuous?

Question

What a load of crap!

Answer 1

Well you have to ask a whole bunch of questions first.

Does she need state assistance (my taxpaying ***) to care for her due to mistakes of her own?

Does she need state assistance (my taxpaying ***) to care for her due to a father that died (life tragedy)?

There are a lot of stupid loose girls that get knocked up and USE that baby to get care provided by the state. That PART of the SYSTEM is defiantly NOT virtuous, its absolute ridicules.

Answer 2

A single mother who brings her child up to the best of her ability is the best mother.

How about we turn the tables: Is being a single father virtuous?

How do you feel if everyone says it's a load of crap?

Double standard here.

Answer 3

Being a good parent is virtuous whether you are singled or married, male or female. Some married persons are horrible & abusive parents. Some men walk out on their responsibilities (If you are going to enjoy 3 seconds of woo-hoo then you ought to be prepared for the life time commitment that follows). Some men are doing an excellent & virtuous job being single dads. Why this focus and attack on single moms? I don't get it?

Answer 4

There is no double standard, as neither is virtuous. Single parents should be ashamed for creating a broken home by having children with someone they loved for the wrong reasons. Because of their selfishness (both of THEM), the child must now live without a basic part of their development.

What is virtuous is a person who takes in other peoples children and tries to do the best for them. ie. an uncle who takes in a decreased sisters children, or >good< foster parents.

Answer 5

It depends on the situation. If she is a woman who thinks her children dont need a father, then no she is not virtuous. If she is single mother because she has left an abusive husband, then yes she is virtuous, because she is setting a good example for her children. She is teaching her daughter that violence is NOT ok, and teaching her son, how NOT to treat a woman.

Answer 6

Singel mothers are a gods send. They contribute largely to produce not too educated people, keeping the supply of manual workers burger friers and frontline soldiers coming. If we would have too many stable loving families, maybe 50%+ of all children or more would attned university or college, with the money that has not been spent in divorce court and with the child support thats has not been spent in the malls, coming out of it expecting a good job and who will wachs my car and flip my burgers then ?
But wait there is more. If you wouldnt have kicked hubby to the curb and denied him visitation rights to your daughter, because he is a man and you just had this veeeling that you need to punish him, your daughter would not be love starved for male attention and looking for a serious relationship beeing not avaiabel for games, instead of sucking me off during the coffee break.

Answer 7

I think being a single mother or father......and really lets get it right .........because there are both mothers and fathers who raise their children alone these days...........is a difficult task and not one always chosen......I was married.....I planned to be married for life......my ex broke our vows......I was a single mother not by choosing....but because my children had needs .....and I had a responsibility........as for children who come from single parent families being more prone to drug abuse.....or dropping out of school.......where did you get that information.........my children are straight A honor students......and one of my children skipped a grade at school...........they are very bright .........but I doubt they would be excelling in their lives if I'd had stayed married to their father.........where they could see him beat and rape me while holding me at gunpoint.....would that not cause more emotional damage .......I left for the safety of myself...my children.....they have been in therapy....as have I......and will be as the need arises.......I believe there is more damage done keeping some children in a home with two parents.....if there is no love and respect.......i do agree that yes while it is an ideal to have two loving parents in a home raising children.....this is not always what happens......... and there are many men and women out there raising children alone...and doing a wonderful job......stop being so narrow minded and ignorant......attack the parents that walked away.....not the ones trying to keep it all together........oh and as for living of the state....i certainly didn't live off anyone but myself.....

Answer 8

Single motherhood is not good for the child...there needs to be a father around. It's been shown that a huge contributing factor in kids getting into trouble later on is the absentee father.

I was born out of wedlock myself, 34 years ago today, but my mother got married when I was a few months old, and my stepfather adopted me. So I at least had a father around!
