[quote=Anonymous]These anecdotes are nice and there are always exceptions, but the statistics are clear: children raised by single mothers go through life at a distinct disadvantage. On average, they have lower grades, get into more trouble, and report lower happiness than kids with two married parents. At every stage of life, their disadvantage is compounded.

If you raised a kid as a single mom and think s/he didn’t suffer a disadvantage, the truth is that you’ll never know. Your kid may be great, but you don’t know how much greater s/he might have been if given the time and resources that come with married parents. But more importantly, for every success story, the stats tell us there are dozens of others that don’t turn out well.

Becoming a single mother at 18 with no college degree is a recipe for disaster. Maybe OP’s daughter will be the exception, but it’s much more likely that OP’s daughter and grandchild will struggle through life and that grandchild will start school behind his/her peers and fall further behind every year.
