Gobsmacked by the venemous comments made by certain men. You really have no idea what you are talking about.
Try walking a day in a single mother's shoes. You might learn a valuable lesson.
Walking a day in a single mother's shoes isn't going to change the fact that children from single mother homes do the worst on EVERY single metric you can think of, enough to say it's more closer to causation than correlation. Children have a higher likelihood of being poor, committing crimes, using drugs lower grades, suicide rates, health problems, cognitive problems and their dropout rate is higher than their counterparts from two-parent families. Boys tend to be idle and teenage girls had a greater risk of pregnancy.
Harsh reality, but true none the less. So, yes - if you don't care about your kids, choose shltty fathers and become a single mother.... Or just be a shltty selfish mother. Barring a widow, it's usually for selfish reasons anyway, guys already know this. The writing is on the wall.
Being a single mother is incentivized by the government with archaic family laws and spousal and child support payments. If it weren't as incentivized, I would probably see less children at risk - so ya, we do know what we're talking about and the only lesson that needs to be learned is the societal benefits with less single mothers - which you find "mean"
