The sad thing is that her fellow gender will not agree with her.

Another post demonising single mothers . Just look at that nonsense man shouting “100% true” repeatedly!! Mtcheww!

Biko, Let her speak for the single mothers in America

Most single mothers here in Africa, Nigeria to be precise are doing great job raising their child(ren).

Single mothers in Nigeria are gradually taking over. The foolish one's thinks denying the father access to the children is a punishment to him not knowing they are damaging the children psychologically.

Let’s understand there are many situations that make one a single mother, situations like.. widow, irresponsible father, rape, deceptive boyfriend etc

The question we should be asking ourselves is Who is the better parent?? Is it the woman that actually stepped up and took responsibility OR the foolish, deceptive and good for nothing man who abandoned his child and his responsibility??

True talk.

Single mothers and those girls that grew up with their grandmothers, in all you do, avoid them like plague. They're all oloshos and prostitutes. They can fcck anything they see

Boondocxs:
Shut up your mouth is it her fault that she’s a single mother
Why are we not blaming the fathers for being non existent in their kids lives
The pick me attitude is shocking

Jonathan:
Apart from being a terrible parent, IT'S ALSO VERY VERY DETRIMENTAL AND RISKY TO MARRY A SINGLE MOTHER.

These set of women are extremely dangerous and desperate, THEY CAN PRETEND TO BE THE SWEETEST ANGELS ALIVE WHEN YOU'RE DATING THEM, THE MOMENT YOU MAKE A MISTAKE TO MARRY THEM, THEY'LL TURN TO YOUR WORSE NIGHTMARE.

Gbam

- MOST OF THEM FORNICATE AND WILL CONTINUE TO SLEEP AROUND AFTER YOU'VE WIFED THEM.

- YOU CAN NEVER BE A PRIORITY IN THEIR LIFE, THEIR CHILD COMES FIRST, BUT THEY WANT YOU TO MAKE THEM YOUR OWN PRIORITY

- YOU CAN NEVER SATISFY THEM. GIVE THEM THE WHOLE WORLD AND IT WON'T STILL BE ENOUGH.

- AS A GUY, EVEN IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING A SECOND OR THIRD WIFE, NEVER GO FOR A SINGLE MOTHER.

THE ONLY FEW EXCEPTION ARE THE WIDOWS...
FEW OF THEM.

tommy589:
Raised by a single mother and we turned out well.

But I never wish single parenting for any kid. By his grace we did not walk alone

pretydiva:
Not in all cases. Some single mothers are doing a fantastic job in raising their kids

dominique:
Why can't the fathers step in and be the better parent?

Exceed15:


Marry first . That's when you begin to exhibit those traits.

ceede2:
The worst mistake a man can make in his life time is to marry a daughter raise alone by her mother. (Venom)

Expectially if you are not born with a silver spoon, if you r eventually born in a rich fam, she will act nice until she give you a child, boom truth color will surface.

Juoflife1:
I am raising my child alone and I challenge anyone with a child the same age to a character test lol. A bad parent/s is bad irrespective of weather both parents are around or not. Stop with the single mother noise already.

Dennisochampa:
This is subjective and not entirely true...
Alot of great men and women today were raised by single parents....
It all depends on the circumstances surrounding raising a kid as a single parent...
A kid raised in an abusive or toxic environment by both parents will most likely turn out even worse than kids raised by single parents...
While a kid raised by a single mother for example, knows that he or she needs to make the momma proud and will often do their best to grow well....

Gerrard59:


Research studies generated historically to date prove you wrong. Why should a random a Dennisochampa be believed when there are research studies on the same topic dating as far as 100 years ago?

Gajagojo:

But let us analyse that a bit

What is a single mother? A woman who never married and started having children?
A woman who married and got divorced? A woman who got married whose husband died
Definition is very important
Are those three scenarios the same or are they different? If different,how?

Let us assume they are different e.g . The father died ? Does it matter if he died when the mother is pregnant,the child is aged 2, 6 10 or 14

Again even when married we see situations where the men are never at home because of work e.g soldiers,uniformed men ,oil workers get. We see situations where people are married and the father is deadbeat, alcoholic,violent gambling etc

It is intellectually lazy to make such sweeping generalisations.
Babangida is an orphan.
Andrew Jackson US president was an orphan
Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey were raised by single mothers
There are So many things that make a difference to affect outcome e.g in my view one of the most important today in Nigeria is growing up in poverty in an urban area.
It is similar in America
If you grow up with the following things in your neighbourhood you are at risk

Betting shop
Liquor shop
Drugs on the street
Prostitution on the streets
Gangs on the streets

All those girls doing hook up today ,the guys doing rituals were they all raised by single mothers?
People always look for evidence to confirm their prejudices
When the evidence is contradictory,they play ostrich..
Many women,a generation ago survived the civil war and raised kids as widows they deserve respect .

If you are born in Ajegunle you are already disadvantaged compared to someone born in Ikoyi

Dennisochampa:
.... Who force u believe anything?? Believe what you want to.. It's a free world..

Gerrard59:


The prevailing notion is a woman who got divorced, intentionally or out of marital circumstances. A single mother could be defined as one whose father of her children is alive but is not involved in the raising of the children, either emotionally, behaviorally and financially.



The first bold, while the woman can be described as a widow, she effectively becomes a single mother due to the situation.

Second bold, some of those male professionals still play a role when they are physically available. In the topic of discussion, the men DON'T play a role. It is perfectly standard to expect irresponsible children from a family where the father is a deadbeat, alcoholic or a chronic gambler. I categorise children from such families as raised by single fathers. The man's presence is minimally felt.



You are the one intellectually lazy because you are using exceptions to judge the situation. Statistics across the globe - cultures, religions, country-specific laws - show that children raised by single mothers are the most disadvantaged. Why should that be disregarded because IBB or Obama became presidents of their respective countries?



In the US, most porn stars were raised by single mothers. The hookup situation in Nigeria is majorly tied to poverty, and even at that, the probability of being in poverty is higher in a single-parent setting, especially single mother, than in a two-parent household.



While that is true, in the US where the OP is based, children raised by single mothers are more disadvantaged than those raised by two parents in the same environment. And if you know your environment is worse, why exacerbate the situation by raising children as a single parent?

The positive outcomes you see from single-mother families in Nigeria can be attributed to religion, the culture of shame and communal living. However, as southern Nigeria gets more westernised, we will begin to mirror the African American community. There is an antecedent.

That's a lie...if a single mother allow her pikin to spoil.... But if she train am with iron hand...
Even the kids will want to live a live of perfection n avoid the pains their mother went thru and avoid becoming single mothers too.
