    Why do single mothers think there . . .   There, WHERE?

    Not sure, but I know a few single mothers that know the difference between "there" and "their".  And which category to post a question.

    Yes, boys need a strong male role model.  But there are so few of them around.

    Because most of the time they are perfectly capable of doing it. There are plenty of strong male role models around, it does not have to be a father.

    So do you think widows should have their children taken from them?  Unmarried women should be forced to either marry or have an abortion?  Children automatically go to the father in the case of divorce?  How do you want this to work out?

    What then, give them up for adoption? Abandon them? Like you think that's better?

    Do you really think women are entirely isolated from the world and have zero male family members and friends?

    Many women have raised good young men, and it doesn't mean they didn't have any men in their lives to look up to even if their own father wasn't in the picture.

    All you did with this question was sound insecure, as if you think female presence and influence in your life would somehow poison you.

    most single mothers did not choose to be single mothers. 

    most single mothers raise their sons alone because in  many cases,  their sons were abandoned by their father 

    so logically speaking, since having a child means its your responsibility, the only thing you can do is to try and raise your child the best way possible 

    if people want to send the message that single mothers are incapable of raising children, then the only thing it does is discourage single mothers from raising their children
