I guess its akin to a yin yang outlook of balance , but in terms of human beings , do you feel there is a male/female balance that makes all of us more 'complete' and healthy,,,?

what I mean is, being that we are the combination of a male and female from conception, is it possible or probable that our healthiest state will be one with a balance of the male/female ego,,where our gender dictates which may dominate?


As a single parent, raised by a mother and father, I do believe chidlren benefit most from having that male and female ego nurtured by having a male constant and a female constant in their life. As the mother of both a boy and a girl, I believe I can raise both of them to be good people, but where I can teach my daughter about becoming a WOMAN, I can never teach my son about becoming a MAN the way a MAN could.

Do single parents with a child of the opposite gender feel your child benefits/would benefit from having that gender as an equal influence in their life? Should single moms, for instance, make room for a man to HELP them raise a boy into a man and do we sell our young men short if we dont give them that advantage?

I believe we do sell our young men short by not having a man involved. I felt I sold my daughter short by not having a woman involved to teach her about make-up and stuff. Thank goodness for pre-teen girlfriends and their moms!!!

haaa,, the adopted moms and dads,, indeed a Godsend
