I get the rich people like Charlize Theron and Sandra bullock who have tons of money and can pay for help WANT to be single moms; but single moms of multiple kids who often have different fathers I assume also wanted to or knew they would be raising the kids on their own. So is it a problem?
For the rest of us yes; as often those are the types of kids who struggle in life - but the moms made the choice for them. I thought most of this forum was pro-choice, it does not only mean on abortion.

Yes, it is a problem when 42% of births in 2020 were financed by Medicaid; 63% of youth suicides were from fatherless homes; and 75% of the long-term correctional facility inmates are from father-absent households.

Misogyny is calling it single motherhood instead of absent fatherhood. Like, wtf. Yes, you are using fatherless but the title is single motherhood and the conversation is always centered around the mother.

That percentage is not sustainable. Father figures are important.

You see the effects on society today.

Don't reward single patenting. Staying together is sometimes difficult, but single parenting of close to 50% is not acceptable either. An abusive relationship is a different subject altogether.

But the outcomes are not as good as two parent families in the aggregate.

So I wouldn't cut out subsidies, but I would cut them back and make it less attractive.

How many absent father households are the choice of the mother raising the child(ren)? He is absent because of the father- whether that be choice, jail, disinterest, another family, etc. You are punishing women and children for the choices of the male. Super on brand for our culture but nonetheless deplorable. And two parents don't have to be married or live together to raise a child. Data must separate between single parent households with an involved and financially supportive co-parent (regardless of sex) and those that are single parent household by choice and those that are single parent households without an involved and supportive co-parent. These are three different types of issues and more than likely have different outcomes.

They should marry another single mom so they are dual income plus dual child support. Might even have that 50/50 household chore split couples long for.

This does not mean that all 42% of births are from single-parent households.

There is an app for single mothers to find other single mothers to be housemates with.

Make her wear a scarlet A.

Anyone who becomes impregnanted or impregnantes someone outside of wedlock should face severe consequences.

Men - forced vasectomy if not castration
Women - can't do anything to her until after the birth. But I guess we don't want to kill her or make her infertile because we need more workers in the workforce. Maybe sell govt bridal contracts? Auction them off to the highest bidder, proceeds go to support the b@stard children. Who were placed with good "middle class" parents, wink wink.

As a single mother this is the most attractive to me. Men are a mess in this country.

Unfortunately, the county restricts how many can live in a house. Unless you are from another country of course and then the sky is the limit.

Why are women choosing to get pregnant with such irresponsible men? Perhaps our values are all wrong. Why not question our priorities?

That isn’t a policy answer.

Idc what choices the parents made/make it is not on children to absorb them. Our values? jFC.
