I am a single mother, not a single parent. But there are many women out in the world of all nationalities that do not have the option to say that. Is it right to raise children voluntarily alone? I do not think so. But if your children do not have the support of both parents, then the families on both sides are supposed to help. This is a problem in America. All too often women are having children for the wrong reasons. They think it will keep a man, or they just want something to love, or they even want to become citizens or get free public assistance. 

Providing material things is not the only thing fathers should be utilized for.  Fathers spend time with children, share experiences, help with homework, teach boys how to be men and girls how to respect themselves and know what to expect from a boyfriend or husband. Fathers go on trips with their kids, protect them during helpless moments. They teach spiritual guidance and they also help with providing the necessary material support a parent should. All too often women and men break up before a child is born and an unselfish mother will continue the birth of the child because she is a loving and faithful mom. The families should always assist in helping raise the child. No one is judging but when women are told to set standards before pregnancy and then their expectations are ignored due to love of the child it is doing their futures a disservice. I salute women like us that are able to provide for our children but I believe that the men should also play a great part in the child's life if he has the physical and mental ability to do so. This country has taken the duties of parents away and have put them in the hands of the courts. That has been the most disrespectful human violation ever. Parents should discipline and raise their children and their kids should have respect and fear them. No one parent should be burdened to handle single parenthood. It takes two to make a child, and unless a man has died or became mentally or physically disabled he should be there for the child in any shape form or fashion.

There are a lot of deadbeat moms out there who have gone under the radar. Millions of men are raising children alone and they never get the praise for handling being a single parent. Moms and dads must work it out and be responsible adults and put their bickering aside. The child suffers in the end from a lot of frustrated parental pressures. Families have to stick together and it is imperative that families learn the importance of a healthy mental and emotional environment. Look at the state of many of our youth in the urban areas. They are running loose, parents have turned the other cheek and the streets are raising the children. There are foster care agencies that are raising children because parents were either too young to to handle the responsibility or their children were hard to manage and the parents took the easy way out and gave up their parental rights. No matter how many of our youth ended up in foster care this type of corralling children must end. It is modern day slavery. Most of the kids that do not end up in decent homes or with their families end up in gangs, in homeless shelters, on drugs, doing crimes which results in incarceration. Too many young people are living risky lives, having unprotected sex and becoming teen moms because parents are not putting the fear in their children and are trying to be their friend. Purchasing materialistic items to compensate for a lack of parenting skills has resulted in a mindset of unrealistic values and morals. When will the vicious cycle end? Time will tell.
