@OPTiMO I understand what you're getting at here. It takes a lot more for a man/woman to come up under a single mother house hold. It's far more difficult regardless of the socio-economic status, just ask the President.
I think the problem is peoplel are thinking that you mean it's preferable to grow up in a single parent household, which is not what I think you're saying. It requires you to be stronger and those who come out of that situation are invariably stronger because it's a more difficult situation. It's like saying growing up in poverty makes you stronger. If you can survive it without going to jail or dying or getting caught up, then yes it required you individually to be stronger than the average person.
Good thread tho

Boys and Girls from single mothers are too emotional, irrationally so.
The best dynamic is having both parents present. It is a proven fact.

tons of outstanding individuals come from single mother households.
Nobody is saying you can't be outstanding breh. However, to jump to the conclusion that you're somehow special or have an advantage because you have no father, is pathetic and delusional. The mere fact you try to take away from those who have a dad shows that you probably have some insecurities in that regard and you're trying to compensate for it.
his point is just arbitrary... if he said, dudes who made it with just a single mother are more exceptional individuals he'd have a point that no one can disagree with... but it's irresponsible and naive to use his own experiences as fact...
OP how do you know that you actually wouldn't have been BETTER off than you are now had your father been around?

THIS... THIS is how i would've conveyed it if I could, because this is exactly what i'm saying.@OPTiMO I understand what you're getting at here.

fukk Brandon and whoever he is.
If you can be a man who is raised solely by a women, and be incredible, you strong.
nahh...he broke down. your automatically mad at everyone whos had something you can never have. a father. you can be 'tough' or 'strong' have money, good looks, play basketball, but you can never have a pops....its fukked up. the best thing you can do is not do the same to your own seed.
where does this strength help you in your life? are you gonna be able to lift more weight, or persevere through lifes tough obstacles better than a two parent family product or an orphan?

that makes sense. I dont think it matters if you have just a mom, just a pops, mom and pops or no mom and pops at all. Its all about your support system.
As a social species we need key relationships and interactions at particular times in our lives. As a child, if we are hurt and scared, we dont need a person to tell us to not cry or to not be scared, but that everything is or will be ok. We need peers who experience the same things we do at the same time, like your best homie growin up.
The parent to child relationship is important particularly around the time a child starts to inquire, who am i? roughly age 13 and older its what Erik Erikson calls 'identity vs role confusion' or 'fidelity'. In the thread about the kid whose parents beat him to death and they whooped him and talked about religion I talked about how the children explores their-self, where they fit in the world, how the interact with the world and start to push boundaries. In that thread I stated how if a kid doesnt rebel then there is a problem.
During these years kids are entering middle school, and thats where a lot start to get all emotional and start to get those thoughts about suicide and popularity and such.
If a child feels that the world will exist just find without them or that they have little impact its going to affect them in a negative way. If they have a strong support system, with peers (friends) and guardians (not even parents but just someone who looks over them and provides the care and support) they will get along just fine.
damn this turned out longer than I thought.
