Depends on why they are "single moms".

Possible, yes.

But in certain communities and situations is not probable at all

I really believe that boys generally learn “how to treat a woman” from their fathers. They generally learn how to “be treated by a woman” from their mothers. Men learn better from other men in other words.


Strong women demonstrate how it is supposed to be done. Their men respect them and, therefore, emulate to their children how it is supposed to be done. Fathers have a critical role. But it does not start with them.

That then begs the question…why is she single and raising their son? Where did the marriage fail? That’s what the children need to learn how to avoid.

Divorce is so “normalized”. I sense many are a huge lifetime burden (at very least emotionally) for all involved. Sad.

That's absolutely a factor but there is an entire generation of girls being raised by married women who spent their formulative years wanting to be one of the vapid run-through women on "Sex in the City". If a boy isn't prepared to deal with those women with clear boundaries, self respect and a firm understanding of how these girls are wired the boy is going to get run over, become angry and end up miserable when the values they were raised to embrace don't translate into relationships that build towards happy and sustainable lives. No woman I've ever met is willing to be honest or introspective enough about female needs and desires to convey them to a boy in a way that will allow them to be prepared for modern dating.


You’re not wrong…

The solution is to raise our children in church. Teach them to date within the church, and date to pursue marriage, not to put notches on our bedpost.

I’m not talking about the non-denominational… “I’m a Christian, I believe in Jesus, but I don’t go to church”. I’m talking about a woman who is faithful to Christ, and ready and willing to live marriage as a vocation.

The Bible over and over, presents Jesus as the bridegroom and the church as his bride.
This was not accidental.
This was the model for our relationship and marriage as a vocation.
Jesus died for his bride….

Ephesians 5, beginning at verse 21, quite succinctly describes marriage.


Yes, modern women suck. But modern men, in general suck too.

I’m guilty. I’m a cradle Catholic. I spent my 20s chasing all the wrong women, and it’s my fault… I wasn’t being the kind of man I should have been. That’s my fault.

Fortunately, I completely accidentally, by the grace of God found a good Catholic woman… and life is now more than I ever dreamed it could be.

If your mom is an average whore banging every dude in sight, how actually is the son supposed to respect women?

Obviously, their fathers don’t respect women or their kids if their Moms are raising them alone.

Most guys I knew growing up who were raised by their mom were either gay or very sissylike, or they were troublemakers and womanizers

Yes it does for young boys. The father’s role is not predicated on how mom acts.

The father’s job is to treat his wife and children right and show the kids how to act. It’s a primary thing, not a secondary thing predicated on whether or not mom holds dad accountable for it.

A father who doesn’t do his job unless a strong woman holds him accountable is quite pathetic, honestly

Wife has a friend of a friend who posts some of the thirstiest damn pics on Instagram without being nude I have seen. She has two boys on JH and they are very active on sports. Man the shite she wears to some of their games is shite she should be wearing to the club.

Those boys are never going to know how to treat a real woman. But they will know how to treat a ho. Just like their momma.

Can you imagine being raised by a single mom and respecting women after that?
I guess it depends on why she is a single Mom.
