exactly

Its not like that has a huge impact on a childs early developement

I love how single moms get triggered on reddit on r/relationshipadvice

You can always tell which ones are too. Every time.

i dOnT nEeD nO mAn

maybe you don't but your kid sure as hell does

So empowered. So stunning and brave.

yeah well unfortunately that's sorta the norm now

Sad.

I grew up with a single mom. Wasnt exactly a walk in the park

not single parenthood (yet) but this idea that the traditional family structure is outdated

oof

I feel like single moms are getting way more praise than a lot of them deserve

They're always so "brave"

one of the greatest blessings I've had in my life is being born into a stable family

mother and father, both of whom deeply cared for me and each other

You're not brave for getting knocked up by a gangbanger who is going to prison and already has 3 baby mamas. That makes you a fucking idiot

fr tho

Yeah, it's getting more frequent that I'm reminded how fortunate I am to have a mom and dad who are still married and love me and my brother.

amen

Yeah Im really bothered by this whole promotion that you dont need to be married or in a stable relationship *before* you decide to have kids

the thing is tho, culturally the position we're all espousing is very much in the minority. My sister, with basically the same upbringing, is of the 'oh you think I can't just do my career and all this stuff?'

Obviously marriage isnt a guarantee (my parents were married when they had me) but its proven to significantly increase the likelyhood of kids succeeding later in life

true

Fucking feminism ruining everything

Smdh

They legit ruined homemaking for everyone

which is insane too

raising children properly is more important to the health of both the family and the republic than 90% of jobs right now

Did they actually ruin it or just turn women away from it? I can only assume you can still be a perfectly successful homemaker

@C1PHER they ruined it in the sense that they turned women away from it, by shaming those who wish to be one

you definitely can, but you're swimming upcurrent of the culture, which is very difficult to do

That's kind of what I figured

both of my sisters view homemaking with disdain, even though my mom was a homemaker and homeschooled

Because now (and Im speaking as a woman myself who grew up in a very liberal culture) its extremely frowned upon and you are seen as a lazy, unambitious leach

^ that

Damn

one of my sisters was genuinely offended when I said if I got married I'd want my wife to be a homemaker

again, this from a theologically conservative household where both my parents were present

And there's this immense pressure that you need to be successful in the workfield and make roughly the same as your male partner/spouse

fighting the cultural winds is a hard thing to do
