    You know that's a real tuff one to answer... My father was killed in a truck crash when I was young, so my mother raised me pretty much alone... Now I know it must have been hard for her, but she was a caring loving mother. Up until a year ago my wife and I raised our two girls, and she had always been a loving caring mom. She was killed in a car accident last year and at that point I became a single parent to the girls... So I can tell you this, my role as a parent has become far more complex... Does that mean I've become more responsible as a parent to the girls... IDK, I do know this I am far more involved with their wants and needs now...

    It varies. I've no doubt there are some single mothers who do a better job than a mother who has a husband/significant male figure for their child. Same thing goes for the other way around.

    If they are doing a pretty good job then they are working twice as hard.

    It depends on age and income but then a there are other variables too. You cannot paint all with one brush.

    They are no more or no less responsible.

    Some are, some aren't. I know single moms who do it all. They make the money, they lead scout troops, they are INVOLVED in their kids lives. And I know single parents who put their kids in the middle to wrangle more money, or who let their lame brained boyfriends mistreat the kids they are supposed to nurture. I know that most loving Moms will do anything for their kids, regardless of whether they are married or not.

    I think it is wrong to make generalizations about any group of people. Who's standards are we using for "responsible"? But I do know it is a lot harder being a single parent.

    Being a good Mother does not have anything to do with being single or married. I've known single and married Mothers and there are good and bad in both.
    I believe it depends on the individual.

    Single mothers have more responsiblity than ones with partners. How they handle it is another thing altogether. I was basically a single parent for the 17 years I was married to my first husband because he was never dependable. It was like me having another child.

    generalities of this nature are always wrong. Single mothers as a group are not more or less responsible than the population of mothers

    They may have more on their plate but that does not equate to being more responsible.

    Speaking for my self no one is perfect and should learn from their mistakes. When i was married i was great mom, when my husband died i tried but i was very depressed then i went out to distract my self it helped, as i realized a couple hours of sleep with hungover was affecting multitasking (my kids were still in good hands) and got tired of it now i go out occasionally.My children have been most of my strenght and motivation! ... 5 years later my feet are finally touching the ground realizing i can't dwell on the pass life goes on and Im the ones providing and setting and example for my kids future! Its not easy and thats when you have to try harder and hit with the left too!

    I think they can all be the same. My mom was a single mother. She raised us just fine

    Hey Idiot......what's your problem. MY mom didn't COMMAND THAT HE DIE or anything like that. She knows she made some mistakes. But she put her kids first over anything else. Even over her own goals she wanted to do. I don't need you commenting on my comment. I wish I knew wear you live. I would come punch your teeth in. Act like a grown up. Just because a woman did you like that doesn't mean every mother is bad. Hell, you probably deserve what you got anyway.

    It is NOT responsible to become pregnant outside of marriage. A child does best with a loving mother and father raising him/her together.

    I'm going to disagree with you and agree. Before I was married we planned to have a baby and we did after we got married while on birth control i still ended up with unplanned pregnancies, I've changed my method of birth control.About father and mother is better its only true on some cases my parents have a good marriage while i know others had both parents dad was abusive to the mom great with the kids mom was abusive with kids amass love add hater with her husband which had a bad impact towards the kids.

    unfortunately abusive relationships happen and they are there until you leave allot of woman are unaware of all the help that is out there , or are afraid of socity critism . Its not as easy at it sounds now I'm strong enough to not deal with shhhh like that and encourage other woman our man to never put up with that you'll hate your self for not leaving sooner!

    No, I know mothers who are single who are responsible and mothers who are married who are responsible. On the flip side, I know mothers, both married and single, who are completely irresponsible.
