I was a single mom and couldn't be prouder of my sons. They are doing well for themselves, and I believe I had something to do with that. Here's to us single moms!

It would help if the men could be men and stick around for their children at least but no let's talk about single mothers that do it all on their own with no help. 🙄

It's about how you raise your kids, I had a single mother of 5 and we're doing good. If success is measured by money than those kids will fail. The things I've been taught keeps everyday sunny.

I learned this lesson the hard way, and in some ways, I'm still unprepared. My father wasn't present, but I will be for my boy, I can tell you that. I only hope I know enough to teach him what he needs to know.

for everybody talking shit in the comments 😂 I was raised by a single mother n she makes 380,000 a year(I'm pretty sure it's 392k a year but idk I just know it more than that) I go to college(bio-medical sciences and I.T) at 21 right now n make 5k tax free every month which I've been doing since I was 19 n been investing in crypto which made me a very large amount of money. long story short just because you chose a weak woman doesn't mean all women are weak my mom with her total networth could buy your fucking bloodline so unless your doing something like that for your kids shut the fuck up about single mom's bc mine could buy your whole fucking family😂

I learned more about life when I was 17 than I ever did raised by my mom jumping guy to guy, I got kicked out and had to juggle 3 part time jobs. now I'm working towards running 2 businesses. It's not just the mother but the environment you grow up in that can change your perspective.

this is not so most single mothers show their sons the strength they need to survive in a world that is cruel fathers do not show their sons how to survive in a world without a woman to guide them. some men teach their son how to treat a woman and some show them how to abuse a woman.

he is 100% completely correct a boy needs his father and I'm talking about a father that wants to be a dad that is there for them because only a father that loves his son will teach him how to be a man

Agreed! Raised by a combat veteran. 2/3s of the people my father went to war with got killed (WW2). He never has to tell his kids to work, he was our role model. He actually had to say be sure to have fun too. Best of both these messages. It’s different for kids of combat veterans. The unspoken is very clear.

yeah not having a father myself, I did start to realize I was at a disadvantage. I remember watching a man deal with a disrespectful person so calmly, wise and intimidating at the same time. I was like, "How the hell did he do that?" maintain the conversation, keep calm, eye contact, and without saying a threatening word, stood his ground and integrity.

see i disagree with everything this guy says yest life is brutal. but my gf for example was raised by a single mom and she is one of the strongest people i know and her mom is strong too. What this guy is saying is going to ruin his childrens child hoods because he wants them to be always competitive and the people i have met thay were always competitive are either dead or in jail because they don't know how to keep their mouths shut and i have had several friends that were that way that are now on drugs,in jail, or dead

Single moms don’t choose to be. It’s men that are weak and leave these women and the cycle continues. Talk to other men not single women.

in reality, you aren't raising little doppelgangers. you are raising individual people, new people with their own personalities, mindsets and values. you can project you onto them. it'll make them grow to resent you.

a father raising a child no matter if it's a boy or girl is way different from a mother raising a child with its boy or girl both kids need both parents the father is the stern one the mother is the love one

That's why women can't raise men. They raise husband/sons who grow up to be over emotional and reactive, impulsive hot heads or mama's boys.

In my opinion there are a large number of single women who have done it and their sons turned out amazing. Don’t put all single mothers in that box. I believe having a mother and father present in the house raising children brings balance, but the world isn’t perfect and it’s not like that for everyone. So you do your best. This guy came off harsh. He could have been more wise, kind and uplifting instead of this shit. What an asshole, and you’re raising assholes.

She'll tell her son to live your life (that equals zero advice, it's so vague, everyone lives their life) and have fun (also a big zero because everyone tries to have fun). Her son will be ill-prepared for life.

It takes two partners that are willing to work together to raise a family. You can't force a man or woman to stay in a relationship if the other partner doesn't want to be a parent. This is why so many women are single they have dealt with abusive guys either mentally of physically. Have you asked them their story. No but you will fix your mouths to tell that woman it was her fault for picking that man even if she stays in that abusive relationship. So no stop blaming women! Should women start just giving the kids to the foster care system since she can't abort any longer because dead beat men are impregnating them and leaving them without financial safety it's STILL her fault! She is still damned if she do any options. 🤔 So when are the real men going to check them!
