The title implies one thing, but what I found was that the article was largely another opportunity to bash single parent families which are most often headed by mothers. I am tired of the media perpetuating the myth that single mothers are the demise of the American way of life. Most parents, if given the choice, would chose to have their children raised in a two-parent family. However, there always has been and always will be single parent households.
Parents die and get divorced for very good reasons.
This is a fact of life. While I will agree that raising a child alone is more difficult, contrary to what your article implies, it is possible to raise a well-adjusted and successful child as a single parent. It is easy to blame single mothers for societal ills. Bad parenting is bad parenting. It doesn't matter if the child comes from a two-parent family, or is raised by grandparents or a single parent.
