broken families are more dangerous, on average, than intact families.

i MAY be a rubbish father but that doesn’t change the message.

He probably has several children to different partners and pays nothing to any of them!

You cannot compare all single parents to the case you are referring to. That shows the mentality of you. There are many single parents with professional jobs and well looked after children who want for nothing. I have several in my school.

Mmmmmm let’s see are you one of these so called ‘monsters’ who’s a weekend, McDonald’s dad by any chance?

“How dare you make remarks and judgements like that!”
———————————-

I ‘dare’ because ’tis true. Single motherhood is more dangerous for children than intact families - increase in poverty, drug abuse, life expectancy, mental illness, crime… not always (I pray!) but enough to make it the curse of modern life.

Shannon was exposed to danger by her own mother, Karen. Her mother may have thought she was doing right (she probably thought of Shannon’s dad as a monster!) but she made Shannon feel unsafe in her own home.

“My child with a single parent is the happiest, most well-cared for child that you could come across … and all because I took the step to make him a child of a single parent, without an abusive monster of a father! ”

——————————
Shannon’s mom had at least six men in her life since she gave birth to her first child and I bet she thought they were all ‘abusive monsters’ and that Shannon was safer because Karen was on her own.

And I can imagine the home of “the happiest, most well-cared for child that you could come across”! “Yes Mummy, I love you. Daddy is a monster!”

You have a personal beef with Karen Matthews, and it’s clouding your pathetic judgement. - wouldn’t at all surprise me if you’re the father of one of her children!

Utter nonsense!!

I work with children and often sit in on social work meetings. I know of many happy, healthy and confident children brought up by one parent. Likewise I have witnessed the effect on children brought up in a hostile environment witnessing arguments and violence when parents don’t get on. How dare you make remarks and judgements like that!

.. the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides….

Not a clue what it means but had to learn it many many many years ago.
Never did get to grips with any maths.

I’d forgotten about you and that agency…. good luck with it. They’re intransigent bastards…. hasn’t it been dismantled yet?

So what you are promoting is a child being raised by 2 parents regardless of whether the child is being abused by one parent, sees one parent being regularly abused by the other parent, in the process being taught that violence, especially between couples is normal? Is this your idea of how a child should be raised as opposed to being the child of a single parent?
What of the children who have lost one parent through death? Does the widow/widower then go out and find another partner as soon as possible so the child isn’t raised by a single parent?

I just wanted to reiterate (say again) that single parenthood is not good for children and it should not be promoted.

Not even going down that road with you and your pathetic beliefs again! My child with a single parent is the happiest, most well-cared for child that you could come across … and all because I took the step to make him a child of a single parent, without an abusive monster of a father! So do me and all the other single mothers that post here a favour and go preach your beliefs to some idiot who will listen.
