I often wondered what would happen if men could cope with single-parenthood like women try to do. I know some will come at me for picking on men again for the areas where women are stronger. It is all about topics I find interesting. No guys. . . I am only trying to point out areas we can improve in our family lives. I had mentioned on the previous longevity thread. . . that men could NEVER put up with half the stress caused by single parenting on women. In fact. . . single parenthood is a challenge. . . and women are more at the receiving end. Women are often looked down on for being single parents. What if men were mostly the single parents. . . .how well would they cope? I found some interesting finds. Let's dive in. . . . THE RISE OF SINGLE-FATHERS. . . . https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2013/07/02/the-rise-of-single-fathers/#:~:text=As%20a%20result%2C%20men%20make,single%20mothers%20and%20single%20fathers.

Where there are resources to help single mothers. . . very few are available for single fathers if at all. We are all familiar with the single mother experience. I WAS RAISED BY A SINGLE DAD IN NIGERIA. . . .proudly so. (My mom lived down the street. . . but refused to live with my dad . . . for many gooooood reasons. . . . They were sooooooooooo incompartible. Na only pregnancy bring them toghether I swear!). . . .I honestly could say I WOULD NOT HAVE MARRIED EITHER OF THEM WALAHI! My dad. . .thought he could handle single-parenthood. . . and my mom ended up outliving him. Case-closed! I am a living example of what single-parenting can do to a MAN WITHOUT THE HELP OF A WIFE OR PARTNER. . . .HE NEVER REMARRIED! My father refused to allow ANY OTHER WOMAN COME INTO HIS HOUSE TO RAISE HIS 4 CHILDREN. . . AND DIED RAISING THEM HIMSELF or with MY MOM ONLY. Respects darling father. You were not a TYPICAL NIGERIAN WOMAN-WRAPPER OF A MAN. When my parents divorced. . . my mom objected to joint custody. She FLATLY REFUSED to take any of us o. She was wise to know that my father would make a better single parent, and she was right! You see? My dad sacrificed EVERYTHING FOR HIS CHILDREN. . . .The reason I work hard and not carried away by emotional jazz from men or boys. I was raised by a strict disciplinarian. . . so I don't take BS from man, woman, animal, child or spirit! In the process. . . he paid a huge price WITH HIS EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL HEALTH. He was chained to his 4 children. . .till we all graduated from college/university. . . and started working with our own families. Then he died of A STROKE. My mom now lives with her children enjoying her life with her grand children. Such is life. https://www.parents.com/parenting/dynamics/single-parenting/single-moms-vs-single-dads-a-look-at-the-double-standards-of-single-parenthood-how-we-can-do-better/
Yes! There are double standards when dealing with homes involving single mothers vs single fathers. |

It's not easy for both party tho, but I don't see any reason that they won't get acquainted with someone at the long run. |

Is it easy to get accquainted with someone without a child? It is not easy for a woman or man to accept a child in any relationship. My take? RAISE YOUR CHILD or CHILDREN FRIST before you start looking for a relationship. The children never asked to be born or deprived from a home with both parents to raise them. After you have raised your children and they are independent, then YOU CAN GO AND SEARCH FOR YOUR OWN HAPPINESS. The children deserve your undivided attention. Your child does not need a 'replacement mother or father' because you want to be 'happy' and irresponsibly put your selfish needs before those of your child or children. Too many 'MUNGO PARKS' and 'AUNTY PATRICIAS' all over Nigeria/africa who have no business getting married or re-married. Thank God for men like my father who NEVER REMARRIED as a single parent! He just could not see himself givng his children another mother, especially when their own mother was still alive. He had a few girlfriends and 'side' chicks. . . .but he NEVER BROUGHT THEM HOME and we NEVER KNEW THEM. He sacrifiiced all. . . . .and we reaped the benefits 1 Like |

1. You won't take nonsense from any man and your hubby is enduring your nonesense? 2. Your mother does not deserve a good man like your father. I pitty foolish men who think they can use money to make a woman to love them. Such men are just too fooooooolish. Things like this is why I always believe that women have shallow brain.

eDarlling: Don’t get personal. To reply you; 1. I stated I will not take BS from “any man, woman, child, spirit or animal”. Why did you single out the “man” only? My marriage should not be your concern. Face your own life.✅ 2. My darling parents are MINE! Please, face yours!✅ Not all parents are cognitively- impaired with lack of prioritization and self-gratification. If they had problems with each other, they did not involve us and thank God for that! 🙏🏽 I wish more women would leave the children with their responsible fathers LIKE MINE! Nigeria and the world would be a better place! But women can’t even trust their male partners or husbands with their own children FOR GOOOOOD REASONS TOO. 4 Likes |

KanwuliaExtra:Your father did not die before your mum because he was a single dad. Naturally,in marriage,men are always older than their wives. Coupled with the strenous jobs men engage in. So the proberbility of a man whether a single dad or not dying before his wife is very high. So my dear stop writing rubbish here. |

Justbehave: I just got back from an extremely boring night shift. . . .and I am crabby with lack of sleep from indigestion due to the fufu and egusi/vegetable soup I had on my break last night. But I will try to be 'civil'. Thank God for children who have use my eyes to see 'shegey'! I have learned patience the HARD WAY! Don't push ya luck. Here goes: Let me educate you about the finest things in life. . . . this is real. Not all these yeye fake threads you have all over NL. Yes he did die because he was a single dad and NEVER REMARRIED. How many men do YOU personally know around you that will not replace one woman with another or several after separating from their wives? Only to turn their own children into 'househelps' because of their selfish egos and need for primitive and animalistic sexual gratification. . . ? I was only 8 and my last brother was ONLY 3! How he wan do am? CAN YOU DO IT? My dad did not do any streneous job. He retired at 39 because he could not handle the transfers from one corner of Nigeria to another thereby disrupting our academic and psycho-social stability. He did not want a normadic life for his family. He found a business he could deal with so he did not have to leave the house with his young children unattended and at the mercy of 'housemaids' and 'drivers'! We only had TWO CARE-GIVERS that stayed with is for over 20 years. MY FATHER NEVER. . . NEVER . . . NEVER left the house after 7PM If we were going to parties. . . HE WOULD FOLLOW US! Even when playing on the same street with the neighborhood kids.. . . HE NEVER TOOK HIS EYES OFF US FOR ONE MINUTE. Everybody KNEW HIM and boy! They did not dare look in our directions to try any rubbish. . . .most of our friends could never find their fathers. Remember? My mom also live down the street in HER OWN HOUSE AT 28 years old! You are on my thread. . . please behave. I wil not be so kind with my next reply to you. I don't need ANY moderator to deal with you on my thread. You have been warned. Bring it on. . . . 4 Likes |
