[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand those who say being a SMBC is selfish. I have not slept in since becoming a single mom. I am on duty all the time when my child is with me. I have taken care of my child even when I had food poisoning, etc. I have not applied for jobs that would advance my career because they involve travel, long hours, etc. Being a single mom, whether by choice or not, is really hard. That being said, my son is a great kid who has so many friends and people who care about him.  [/quote]

They say this because statistics show kids raised by a single mother are at a clear disadvantage. They are 5x more likely to use drugs or alcohol, drop out of school, commit suicide, be incarcerated, become homeless, etc.

I don’t know why anyone would want to set their child up to be so disadvantaged. Plus, women can’t raise a boy into a man. Only man can. [/quote]

If you disaggregate this by age and socio-economic status you will see that it's only the case for this is mostly true for poor teenage girls who get pregnant in HS and end up dropping out.  OP seems to be none of these things. [/quote]
