my thoughts exactly :)

As a single father of a fairly young daughter, i can honestly say that searching the internet for parenting strategies turned up quite a few great support groups for females, but woefully, only a few disorganized ones for single fathers... whatever the gender of parent, the difficulties are varied by the support systems within your personal circles, be it family members/church/outreach

Moms all rock!

I'm a guy who brought his kid up for 21 years. Fourteen of those without his mum. When I used to meet single women they would be interested in me, but very rarely wanted the thought of my son entering the equation. So that was that. My son was no.1 in everything. Even when I dated single mums, it was as if their kids were the main priority and mine was 2nd best? Not to me he wasn't! Women say this and that, but it's really double standards. I've been there and experienced it at 1st hand. So don't try and tell me any different. Bringing up anyone elses kids, is a massive responsibility for someone, to take on. I knew that from the start when I was bringing up my son, but those years were the happiest of my life, as it was so rewarding watching the wee man grow up and it made me a better person, inside and out. Even now when he's grown up and working a away from home, when he phones and says ' he's alright! ' Then i'm ok, as that makes my day!

Good point, but what if you're a married mother and the father doesn't help?
Married mothers do just as much.
I think "more & less" depends on how much you love your kids and how many you have.

MILF's i love em

Ok wat abought single dads my wife left us i brought my three girls up on my own there great my youngest is disabled she 23 and i still look after her were all very close so come on single dads love to all single parents...

Is best for a woman to remain a single mum,than to have a man who is a liability.Some married women take up the role of a father financially&all round.They are as good as being a single mama..

I can only judge them until i go through what they went through. Till then, i see them as normal,courageous and strong people

been a single mum has nothing to do with it. im a solodad myself of a dorta. its the love and careing for your kid that's matters not if you single. its hard but life is sun times. like at it like this we got sum thing that not every one can have...kids. make the most of every moment

Fancy their chances of sexual favour thats the only truth

Men fancy their chances from single mom for sexual favours

Pretty vague question.
Kind of like "what do you think the sky"?
It all depends upon the individual woman.

This^^^^^^^

Being a single-mom i'm sure is hard, but some I see use it a crutch or as a way of saying "how tough their lives are" I actually had one single-mom(very young) tell me being a single mom was as tough as being in the Navy-Seals, umm...from an outsider perspective...she wasn't really the mom...her parents were, the child was primarily watched over by it's grandparents, while the mom sat around the house, never looking for work(because she was "taking care of the baby", but she would tell everyone how tough it was...for this woman what I think....is nothing positive

However, I've met other single-mothers who have kids, work a job, and go to college, all while maintaining a positive relationship with her kids, for this woman I have respect.....she didn't see her kids as holding her back, instead she seen them as a motivation to improve herself.

So yeah it depends on the single-mother.

Maybe you do? Not everybody thinks that way though! What if the single mother was your sister? How would you feel about some guy using your sister in that way? Well remember that the women you're using are somebodies sister also!

I'm new here n its my 1st day. To me nothing compares to a single mother. I wud know I was raised by 1 n I must say she's the best. I learnt to respect women n protect mother

Possibly the most idiotic reply ever, and then some.

being a single parent myself I do respect a single parent either male or female its a lot of work and dedication to raise a child you try to give them the love and support of both parents teach them to do the right things make the right decisions in life and have good morals so to answer your question I truly respect single female parents and hope and with them the best

Being a single parent over a married parent makes you neither superior or inferior. I don't give a hang about gender either. I have seen good and bad in all the situations above.

Seen some married parents that keep an abusive worthless partner/parent around for nothing more than "decoration" and then pounded their chest how they were morally perfected.

Being a single parent is not and easy road but there are times it is way better than dragging along dead weight of an adult that acts like another kid, or having a partner that is so dependent because of substances,illness, or injury that they make life unbearable.

And it completely over looks the reality that many people lose partners/spouses and co parents to death every day. Everything from childbirth, illness, accidents, murder, war, natural disasters and the list goes on. So all the finger pointing and blame seems pretty lame to me.

Or that some people actually just adopt a child. Maybe it is a sibling, or a grandchild, best friend's kid or just a kid that needs a home and an adult that doesn't see the single parent role that unusual.

Because a lot of it has nothing to do with choice. Truth be told most would, if given a safe out; at least here and there would take it. And many do parking their kids in foster care, with extended family, summer camps, boarding schools, or with live in nannies in parallel lives, or spouses that didn't particularly ask for them.

Sorry Having done the single parent thing I have a hard time seeing it as heroic.
