Girls that grow up without fathers are more likely to drop out of school, do drugs, be in an abusive relationship, get pregnant as a teen, not go to college, etc. Are you worried about your daughter's future?

I don't have children so any of you trying to insult me: it's not working.

Harleyba... I didn't say "EVERY" girl. Read my question carefully before you criticize.

I did come from a bipolar single mother and I didn't drop out of school, didn't get involved with drugs, never been in a abusive relationship; however, I did get pregnant at 18, but I went to college and finished and now I'm a married woman with 3 beautiful children and I have a decent job. I can't even say it depends on how you raise your child, it's about that child making good decisions when they become an adult, and even if they make bad decisions, they need to be able to learn from the mistakes. That's called LIFE. I would expose my daughters to positive things in the community as much as possibly and even share my things that happened in my own life that I believed I could have avoided and hope they take heed to it.

I am a daughter of a wonderful single mom. I went to high and finished. I have gone to college although I had to stop becasue of money issues but I plan on going back and finishing up. I did not get pregnant as a teen. In fact, I did not start dating till I was out of college and working full time. I am now engaged to a wonderful man and I will be expecting my first and only child on or around May 25, 08.
Just because some website saying or shows a few girls who have been hurt by the boyfriends and the others things you mentioned does not mean that EVER child of a single mother will turn out that way. You should do more research and really read the stuff that is out there on children who do not have a father figure in their lifes.
I am thinkful I did not have my father in my life through out my entire childhood but I am glad he came around and started really wanting to be in it because he now knows what a wonderful job my mom did by herself. I hope and pray that I can at least be half the mother my mom was for me if I have to become a single mom. I will be proud of it and I will work it the best I know how too.

Did you know daughters with an abusive father are also more likely to drop out of school, do drugs, be in an abusive relationship, get pregnant as a teen, not go to college, etc.
**edit**
Oh, and since you arent a mother, I don't think you have the right to comment on others relationships. Walk a mile in a battered wifes shoes, and tell me if she should stay in it "for the kids"

That may be the statistics - but you shouldnt worry so much about it. My mother was a single parent and then met a wonderful, caring man that i now consider to be my Dad. Him and my Mom had been together since I was 6 years old and he was more of a Dad than my real father ever was. My mom passed away when i was 16 and my step-dad was there for me always - he has been like a mother and father to me. I thank God for him everyday...

Definitly touch police and courts. they might desire to get rid of visitation rights and easily enable supervised visits. it is perplexing once you recognize you prefer your daughter to have the possibility to spend time with him, yet you prefer her saftey extra. do no longer enable her to circulate anymore and in case you do, be sure you communicate over together with her approximately something that would have happended that she feels uncomfortable approximately. Remind you daughter which you're there for her and definintly ask her enter. She is your daughter and is probable virtually sufficiently old to understand. good success, i'm hoping each thing seems the ideal.

No, I am a single mother of two daughters and they are both very good girls. My oldest is 22, she works and goes to school and is not in a serious relationship. My youngest is 14, and she is the best....no problems and no teenage stuff...they know how hard it is for me to support them and keep everything nice for them. I don't believe in that old stereotype you mentioned above. I am a strong independent woman, and that is how I am raising my daughters.

I wouldn't be - &I don't think that's true either. I have a couple of close girlfriend's who grew up actually having a life. They finished school, got a degree and is still going strong. :) I guess it just depends on what lifestyle your living.
