Listen to this wise person cos it's true. My brother married one and the marriage has collapsed. I also married one and I'm so fed up with her. I grew up in a complete happy home so nothing prepared me for the stuffs she's throwing at me, not to forget her mum that wants to turn me to ATM machine. Run if you can, if not, do what I do - take solace in your career if you have one.

I don't agree, that a chicken laid a bad egg today doesn't mean she will everyday. The mind of a lady/woman is quite strong so her been good or bad isn't always as a result of the union that births her.


Its highly important that we look beyond the faucets of whatever origin that seem to prevail in the society. Its no news that the divorce rate in the country is on the high side but still a book shouldn't be judged by its cover.

Hmmm... looking at the the comments from too many of these ladies I have no doubt if they are single parents then this same kind of disrespecting and downgrading men would likely be indirectly passed on to their daughters. ...and this is what this thread is talking about. Guys brought up by mom's only.... high risk of being mummy's boy!

I wonder why anyone would sit in his house and tell me not to get emotional_ psychic much?
You can't even answer simple questions, yet you claim to be logical. If you're that logical, you would know those questions are a subliminal way of telling you, it takes a couple for a marriage to work. Majority of the threads here on NL complaining of bad wives (that's me trying to FOCUS), I haven't seen any_ where it was stated that the wife was brought up by a single mum.
Sooo, what went wrong Mr Logic?

Do you know Nigeria's population? I ask once again.
You met just one lady raised by a single mum, out of millions of Nigerians and you run to NL to create thread...as statistician you be ba?

There are few single dads you say?
Jointly made, jointly owned.
'but somehow the woman gets to be stuck with the kids, most times doesn't get married again, raises them to be strong independent people and you think you can rule them out without giving them a chance? Who exactly are you, Uncle?

I am not 'empathising' with anyone but I know what it takes to train a child. Anyone who does that (independently) gets my support.
Now, go back and answer my questions, stop looking for supporters grin.

See young lady, either you like it or not, the Op is accurately and logically right....

Unfortunately, this assertion is very true. Even my brother's wife who is a chosen mopol, I mean a member of the Lord's chosen church owned by Pastor Lazarus Nmoka deserted her husband because that's exactly how her mother behaved. Their mother ran away from the husband and trained them (five girls) alone and today, none of them is living with the husband. Even with all entreaties and begging from my brother, she remained adamant and incorrigible. What baffles me is that they made her "a worker" and ursher even with her immoral lifestyle perhaps because she pays "big tithe" it's so unfortunate. But this assertion cannot be generalized. There are the few whom God himself touched their hearts to be different from their mother. Note:My brother is young!!!

I am not saying ladies raised by single parents are all bad, you may get lucky finding some exceptional ladies raised by single mums. Evidently you seldom find single men raising a child but it's quite prevalent with the opposite sex.

A relation of mine was dating this lady and when the time came for the union to be made official, his parents advised him to discontinue becos after they had made enquiries and investigation they discovered the lady's mother left her husband many years ago over some frivolous reasons. Then I asked my uncle why did he side with family and not allow his son take the bold step then he said:

1. Women raised by single parent (mother) are usually strong willed hence may end up like their mother.

2. A lady who has seen no need for a father will be swift to end a union because she will have the courage to train her children alone afterall she was raised by a mum.

3. How will she get marital advice from her mum when things are tough and you know ladies often run to their mum when they need advice (remember the mother took the easy way out)

4. Sooner or later my son may become a bachelor again...the odd is high and is glaring..

5. A lady who have spent 21 years of her life without a father cannot be psychologically stable even if she appears to be.

6. Ladies raised by single parents did not experience the beautiful and ugly part of the union called marriage from her parents hence they don't have their parents as their role model.

7. Amin (as he fondly calls me) when the baton gets to you, look at the mother of your fiancèe closely because with time she will display those traits you observed in the mother......

Then I asked him what if the lady's father is dead and the mum decided to train her alone?...my uncle said we may also enquire about the untimely death of the father but "Amin that is a topic for another day"......
This write-up is an absolute nonsense created from a shallow and parochial observation. To declare a bleak future outlook and rubbish the marital aspiration of any lady due to her challenging background reeks of a repugnant thought process. It is thesame reprehensible, uncanny reasoning that has held back the development and consolidation of our national potentials across different ethinic lines.
At best, your deductions and conclusion are very stereotyped

@CuteMorriz, I can relate to all you listed out. Its as though you took it all from what I'm experiencing with my madam. You didn't add that they like been the boss in any relationship.

You're right. And they are kind of proved uncontrollable as well. They will never yield to any form of correction as well, they seems to know it all as well. People people like them always find it difficult to apologize even when they are 100% wrong and obviously at fault as well.

@Poster, this strikes me as a warning to children of ''regular parenting'' who intend to ensure that they oppress, maltreat, degrade and abuse their spouses in marriage. You are alerting them that if they marry children of single mothers, they are likely to get as much punches, verbal abuse, slaps, venom and possibly declarations of independence as the child of ''regular parenting'' is dishing out.

I totally agree that bullies should be careful of this breed of children. Experience has taught them that they are PEOPLE and they have a right to say NO to any situation that is detrimental.

No sane woman, gets up and leaves her marriage, if you check the spate of single mothers there is a dark history and for your so-called elders to myopically tell you that a woman who finally got up to say NO to abuse and tyranny is anything other than brave means you have to check the psychological standing of that elder.

Nevertheless, since single parenting is greatly on the increase... no worries, children of single parents will marry themselves and with the self respect and other interesting qualities a battered woman will teach them to have/not to have, they will have amazing marriages, while the crazy and psychologically damaged children that regular parents are breeding these days will continue to wallow in misery accepting abuse and tyranny as the norm just so they do not become a topic on nairaland.

Thank you for the warning indeed.

@ the op
You wouldn't understand the trauma of those children. Though some of you point are accurate but believe me it takes a strong individual in that circumstance to value parental care or love.
Take mine as an emphasis, I'm scared of getting married not because of the monetary aspects but because I don't know what a parental love is and I don't know how to show such.
My spouse is trying really hard to let me see the bright side of it but hell! How do I show love to her talk less of the kids
How do parents relates
What does it take to have a loving family or what does it take to be a better man
We have been single from inception and it will take lots of work to take our feet of the pedal.
But on the other side we are the most caring and loving people you will ever met cos we don't want our kids to experience what we've been through.
