I am a divorced parent raising my daughter with my partner of 5 years now. My child is just as loving, just as spoiled, just as caring, just as moody, just as affectionate, just as scared, just as emotional as any other child her age. She is a normal kid with all the same issues, worries, and cares. She is surrounded by love which alot of kids with "normal" parents don't have alot of the time. I believe it takes a village to raise a well rounded individual, and that village may not include a married mom and dad. It may be two lesbians, two gay men, a group of close friends, a tight knit extended family, neighbors who care, even teachers. In your statistics, I may be a single parent, but she is not being raised by just one person. How will her perception of what be changed? Life? Love? Marriage? She will have experienced first hand the true meaning of a family, because she has been raised by one, even in a non-traditional sense of the word.
Quantum...just because your kids have a father complex doesn't mean you didn't do a good job as a single parent. And all of those things you mentioned...I do all of those things and other people do some of those things sometimes too. It doesn't hurt my kid if my parnets take her to the park instead of me, if anything it shows her that more than one or two people love her, everyone in her life does.

One parent can never give a child what two GOOD parents can. There is homework, Dr. appts.,karate or little league, dentist appts., Sunday school, play dates with friends, trips to the park, grocery shopping, more homework, a movie your child wants to see, housework laundry....I could go on forever- often a single parent is working and someone else has to care for the child....we do the best we can do... but two parents working together is the best chance for a child's future! I raised two children alone. They seem sucessfull and never got into trouble but my daughter didn't invite her father to her wedding and my son seems to have an empty spot in his heart he can't fill...I think because he never felt his father really loved him like a father should ( protective and supportive ) This is my opinion.

I'm a single adoptive parent and neither of my kids is psychic. or did you mean psyche? if they have good parenting, they grow up just fine. they can have good single parents or bad married parents. just because they have 1 or 2 parents doesn't necessarily change their perceptions.
