It can be tough raising a little one all on your own. Even if the other parent is involved in the child’s life, you are still handling your end completely by your lonesome. Now, this is certainly a common feat that’s tackled daily in our modern day world. The whole single parent raising a child has been done and done over again. However, what about dating for single parents? This is an issue that often goes unaddressed. Are you a single parent who dates? Or are you one that completely avoids the dating game, and always has since you and your spouse split? One thing is for certain; dating for single parents is nothing like it was back when I was a kid. So much has changed regarding the notion of communication.
Back when i was around five years of age, my parents split up. It’s the same old story we’ve all heard time and time again. It’s so cliche in fact, that it almost makes me shake my head and snicker. Basically my father was unhappy, and decided to pursue another woman who shared his marital dissatisfaction. In no time at all, my father was telling my mother that he was leaving her for another woman. Does this sound cliche yet? Why didn’t the dude just buy a sports car like many men do when they hit the age of 40? Anyway, my mother did the thing that many disgruntled mothers do; she took us three kids and ran.
There was no way in hell that she was going to let my father have us. The funny thing was that this was back in the 80s; therefore the courts agreed with her having custody. Many years later my mother had still not dated a single man. The world of dating for single parents was unknown to her. She told me once when I was in college that it was difficult to find a man when you already have three children. This made me sad to say the least. On some level my father ruined her life. Regardless, not every single parent has to endure a life of solitude. There is such a thing as dating for single parents. You just have to get out there and take a gander at what’s available. Actually you don’t have to go anywhere at first. You see, it all begins online.
Isn’t it time you explored the world of dating for Single parents? Hop on your laptop and check out the many sites that offer online dating. In no time at all you could be chatting it up with other singles just like yourself. Dating for single parents does exist, and all you need is a computer to get started..

She says 70% of inmates in US come from single parents and that a simple change in marital laws could solve many of the crime problems.
It sounds like most people agree that her claims are pretty far fetched. At the end of the day, it sells books. As bad as it sounds, I hope she says the things she does to make money and not actually believe what comes out of her mouth.
EDIT: I agree with the answer that said it’s all in how the kids are raised whether by 2 parents or one. My mom did a damned good job for being on her own. And I know more than just the person I mentioned who was raised by 2 parents that got in trouble with the law.
hm mm…
Well I can see her point, but I don’t completely agree. I was raised by a single mother who had to work either 2 jobs or long hours (if she could get them) at one job. There was me, my sister, and my brother. And without a father around we got into a lot more trouble than if we would have with 2 parents and the supervision of a 2 parent household.
My sister and I never got in trouble with the law, other than underage drinking, so no jail time. But my brother has been in jail. He’s not now, and has been on a good path in his life for a long time. But he didn’t start getting in trouble until my mom was remarried, when he was like 13 or 14. So even with 2 parents he still managed to sneak out of the house at night and (with the help of an older accomplice) he was breaking into people’s cars. But of course he may have been acting out because of having a new stepfather. It’s hard to adjust to having a father when you never had one before. And by the way the accomplice was raised in a 2 parent household.

Tired and frustrated of hearing all my single parent friends brag about their huge refund checks they get every year. Refunds should be based simply on earnings and how much you paid in throughout the year. Single adults should not have to pay more just because they have not yet chosen to have children or get married….life is expensive for EVERYONE!
your children = your responsibility
You are wrong to focus on "refunds" instead of total tax due.
