[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is stupid I was raised in a Catholic area on Long Island. everyone had like 12 kids no divorces omg Well my single mother of four .( Dad was a complete shit.)Raised four great kids pulled us out of Catholic school because abuse was rampant in ours. Three doctors and a computer scientist. All well adjusted. No one in a cult. Yeah single mothers rock. [/quote] Single mothers don't rock. You were an outlier.[/quote] or not, perhaps the OPINION piece is just confused between correlation and causation. [/quote] Do you really believe that? [/quote] If you read the actual research it says that it all comes down to resources. Women who have an education and resource have the same outcome as 2 parent homes. Also, it says if the woman has resources, but the husband does not bring resources to the marriage, the marriage privilege is erased. [/quote] The vast majority of the women raising kids alone don't have the resources. That's why the opinion holds.[/quote] Then say that, say poor women who are single parents are not a good thing, but if you have resources being a single mother has not affect on your children's outcome. Also say being poor is not a good thing because being married and poor is "not a good thing".[/quote] Are you slow or something? Why does the obvious need to be pointed out to you?[/quote] So you don’t understand the science. Being poor is bad not being a single parent. [/quote] So we should celebrate and encourage poor single parenting because it works out for rich single parents? [/quote] We should do research that is responsible. Being poor is bad for children regardless of their parents marital status. If women have resources then they should not be compelled to marry simply because they want a child. Poor people should also not be compelled to have children they can’t afford. Write an article/book telling poor married people to stop having children because it’s “not good”.[/quote] Sorry you don't like the message. People make bad choices, nobody is compelling them to make bad choices.[/quote]
