give opinions on whether children from lone-parent families lack more opportunities than children from nuclear

Answer 1

There are many programs out there for children of low income families. Usually a one parent family is low income. Not always I know. Check them out to see if your kids can benefit from some of them. I raised my 3 kids by myself and they turned out good. Lots of love and understanding by the care giver. Always be there for them. No matter what! Can do many activities that don't cost much. Kids learn to improvise and become creative. True the ideal is mom/dad, but that is becoming rarer these days.

Answer 2

Depends on other things such as own wealth, employment and if there is a wider family support network. There is no reason why a lone parent can not provide as well for the child/children as a two parent family.
However, it must be very hard work at times even if well off and with Grandparents etc to help.

The issue is when a young person without a strong financial position, without a good job, and wider adult support finds themselves as a single parent. Then it is highly likely that the child/children will not have the same numbers of choices and opportunities, even then the limited choices do not mean failure but may make hardship a cause of certain actions.

Answer 3

I think they do yes, dont get me wrong i am from a single parent family but it is just since having my own son that i have realised how stressful it is to be a parent. If i was on my own it would be so much difficult and my son wouldnt get the interaction he needs in order to develop well. I have seen it with my friend when she was with her partner she was great she played and interacted with her little girl because she wanted her to do well in life and be intelligent but now she is on her own she doesnt give a damn her little girl spends lots of time in front of the tv and not doing much else because she is so tired from being a single mum of 2 that she just cant be bothered and i think this is a big problem. Many people look down on single parents but i dont think that we realise just how difficult and tiring their job is, never having time to themselves.
Withing a nuclear family parents have a support there all the time and also the support of extended family such as inlaws.
I dont think that this is necessarily a fault of single parents i just think there is too much stigma and not enough support for them.

Answer 4

Hi,

In my opinon if there is no male/ female figure present in the lone parent family that will affect the child, however i dont feel the conventional family can offer any more or less than a lone parent family!

Answer 5

My mom is a unmarried mom of 5 childrens we in no way went without something that we mandatory. Yeah, we are able to possibly no longer are starting to be to be each little thing that we mandatory, yet in no way did we ought to circulate without the neccessities. I participated in the band in the time of junior and intense college, refrain, powerlifting, a number of golf equipment, and honor societies. a similar with my sisters and brother, with basketball, soccer, music, summer season activities and all of them have been honor pupils. So it relatively would not remember if babies are coming from lone-determine families, this is with reference to the way they are mentioned and the will potential that the lone-determine has to do their ultimate so as that their childrens can embark on each probability that comes their way.

Answer 6

yes - they miss seeing what love is between a couple, they miss watching conflict-resolution, they miss seeing the different perspectives and woman and man differences. I think single parents can do wonderful parenting and raise amazing kids, dont get me wrong, but the kid is missing out on a lot. Obviously a single parent that works hard and is a great parent is better than 2 bad parents that dont really care... but if you could have one awesome parent or 2 awesome parents I would choos 2!!

Answer 7

My daughter does not lack of anything. She is more mature,better in school, and sports than most of her friends two parenthouseholds. She also raises money/supplies for animal shelters and things like earth day.
I am not on welfare-she has everything she needs,
A family is made of love not numbers.

Answer 8

in my opinion single parent families are harder for the children. it is especially tough on a kid that misses their father or mother. i think they are burdened by finacial issues more. I also think they suffer from lack of attention and thus have a harder time forming relationships of their own. they are sometimes more shy, or have a harder time getting along with other children.

Answer 9

"Lacking Opportunities" is very vague. Also, you can't generalize like this, it depends on so many other factors than the number of parents you have.
