CNN touts the "benefits of being raised by a single mother"

quote:

---

kids might ever do better with single mom

---

True. Byron Donald's is a great example


However, the odds are WAY worse for single mom houses

Pray tell what are those benefits

Ben Carson, was raised by a single mom but had a strong church too.

No legitimate scientific study can EVER conclude that being raised by a single parent is beneficia

they just did i read it on the internet

You cannot ignore all the overwhelming evidence that powerful entities want nothing more than the complete destruction of the family and what creates family formation.


Sex organ castration
Promotion of LGBTQ exclusively
Anti-nuclear families
Glorifying single motherhood
Glorifying sexual lifestyles that are not conducive for healthy child rearing/family formation

From the article:

A 2017 study, however, looked at the long-term effects of single parenthood on kids and found that it had nearly no impact on their general life satisfaction

---

A 6 year study is not a long term study, and "life satisfaction" is a relative measurement. They should look at measurable success elements.

A separate 10-year study on single parenting that collected data from 40,000 households in the UK came to a similar conclusion last year. “There is no evidence of a negative impact of living in a single parent household on children’s wellbeing, with regard to self-reported life satisfaction, quality of peer relationships, or positivity about family life,” the report states.

There is that "satisfaction" again.

Speaking for myself, I’d go further and say there were benefits to being raised by a single mother, that it was foundational to becoming the adult I am now.

It's all fun and games

Being raised by a single parent required an Emersonian amount of self-reliance. I got myself to school in the morning, figured out how to apply to college, paid my way through that education and embarked on a career with no shortcuts or introductions

There it is. This author was "self motivated" so he didn't need a father. Never mind that 90% of children are not and that there is a clear deficit in not having that kind of grounding from a good, or even just not bad, father figure.

To be fair they do mention in passing that two parent households are more resource and emotionally accommodating but...

We all know why they wrote this article.

If you scroll to the end of the article it states the article was published in 2019. They’re just rehashing shitty articles.

I heard Mark Jackson on an interview at least 20 years ago. He was asked about his father and he said, the best thing my father did was love my mother. He said he was there, working, setting an example
He said he had plenty of friends without fathers and many of them ended up dead or in prison.

What's sad is even if you live in a 2 parent household you can be dragged down by the single parent household kids who receive absolutely no discipline or wisdom.

No matter what they say, they are attempting to overturn God’s created order, including the natural two-parent organization of the household.

Everything this culture produces is a rejection of the godly standards in favor of a rule based on man’s sin.
