[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Society already  ioverwhelmingly favors two-parent families in literally everything. That’s why it’s so hard to be a single parent, duh.[/quote]

If its so hard, why is there a rise in single parenthood? Seems like you agree with tge author that this isn’t a good thing.[/quote]

NP. There's not really a rise in single parenting. The percentage of kids in single parent households has been stable since the '90s.[/quote]

But much higher than the 70s. Is this good or bad?[/quote]

Kids born in the 70s were so neglected they were practically feral. [/quote]

Do you always try to argue without facts? [/quote]

NP. I don't know about "facts" but I know what I lived and saw and the PP is not wrong for everyone I knew who grew up with me at that time. I would maybe take issue with "neglected" as the characterization but it probably appears that way compared to today's hyper fixation on controlling and knowing everything. [/quote]

I was there too. Nobody I knew was neglected or feral. My kids think I had it the best and wish we could go back to those days. They don't think they are winning now with cut throat academics where kids can barely be kids anymore.[/quote]
