Difficult question. Of course you can't decide over the life of the mother, however the children should also be taken into account. A single mother raising children may have a negative impact on the chances of those children. I think every case has to be individually looked at. Some single mothers manage to take care of their children perfectly while others fail miserably. Case by case, that's the way to go. :P

I'm against some media beautifies the life of a single mom. If you want to live the life of a single mom, you should make your social position higher. When a single mom seem not to manage her life and her children properly, some of them tend to blame her more easily. Because she could have chosen the easier life. Some people will never understand why she makes things harder for herself, and some of them would wonder, 'Does she have androphobia?' 'If she can't get along with a man at home, can her daughter does?' Moreover, having no dad could pain children, every dad plays an important role especially in childhood. I don't want my future children to be pained because of that kind of choice. Others could think they can prevent their children from being bothered. I won't jump to conclusions about single moms but It's not reasonable to choose the life just because they become disillusioned with some annoying men. Thank mom, you didn't choose to live that life.

It is definitely a complicated situation, especially in those countries with no good social care service. And it is hard. But I believe if they work hard and they will have a better future, just need to overcome more difficulties and troubles.

in my persepective child born without known father wii have no successful life. He will be depressed in his career. University, employement, traveling or other such events people will ask about his father and when he will reply with that i dont have father most of the people will laught on that or will look strange to him especially if he is asia, gulf etc.But still since a child has no role in such birth may be he will be good if properly educated, treated and cared by parents, teacher, guardians. But this does not mean that we should encourage such births as it has a lot of other problems also which affect society.

Hello, I think that child raising and educating needs both the male and female counterparts ,so whether it is a male or female single parent , they have to face and overload of responsabilities playing 2 roles in 1 ,which is very difficult concerning the natural tendencies of each gender to perform certain tasks in a more efficient way , it is possible ,yet very stressing and overloading to do both jobs. But again some single moms could be better than a mother raising her child alongside with her spouse ,if the second happened to be neglecting her child or bad at parenting in general. I do agree with Mytch that a male rolemodel is very important for a balanced upbringing of children ,but the question remains ,is every male parent a positive rolemodel for his child? Maybe parenting should be taught a seperate subject in school curriculum ;)
