This does not mean that man is expendable. Every child should have a parental male figure.

Yes. Here in America it is commonplace. Not good, but mostly the case.

No As unpopular as my opinion maybe I stand by it.A child raised never knowing the healthy interaction between 2 loving care parents is lacking in absolutely essential life skills

I pay child support and I know that my ex has trouble without my help.I know that her new husband makes good money as a farmer but that all goes to his crop.

Sure........but there's a difference between raising a child and raising a child with balance. Fem's will shriek of course when I boldly proclaim that children need a mother AND a father, but they can lick my ass sap. I fully believe I'm spot on and I couldn't give a rat's ass that detractors feel strenuously otherwise. They can bite me.

Of course, not the best, but has been done well by many a strong mother.

Done? yes Done well ?Never.The amount of life skills they are lacking from never experiencing healthy interaction between 2 committed parents is overwhelming.

I did and she is great. Apparently, he was too busy with his own life after the divorce. Ran away to the great state of California to find himself some happiness. Meanwhile, it was HARD. Real hard. Hard on me and hard on her. We went without while he dated and basked in the sun.

I've known many women who through being single, widowed or divorced have raised children successfully.

I raised two boys. With no help from their father. No financial help. He had visitation every other weekend, but he just dropped them off at his Mothers. So he was no help there either. It just got so I just dropped them off at his Moms. She and I got along great.
But I raised them myself and did it with no help from his father or from Welfare. I always had a job. And he had visitation all summer, so I would take an extra job for the summer. And save the money for things the boys needed through the school yrs. His Mom would have them all summer too.

Of course. However, statistically, your chances are better when both parents are present.

Can they...they do it all the time. Should they? The father should be involved for the growth of the child and for financial support.

My wife and her brother were raised only by their mom. My wife is a very hard working and a wonderful person.

Her brother is a girly man.
