Fathers are important

Pesce12 · 2019-12-30T07:29:17+00:00

I might get some back lash but genuinely is this correlation or causation? When I think about my community (Im black) theres a lot of reasons people turn to crime (poverty, low education standards, etc.) but at the same time single mother hood is high. So its not the lack of father making them live in poverty, they most likely already live in poverty especially with one household income. Do I make sense? I understand the importance of a father in a childs life. This just seems a bit disingenuous.

Lisa is really such a steady consistent person. Her messages are so moderate and true. I really like her and respect her a lot. She gives me a bit of hope with her consistency of message.

Some of the comments on that thread are really discouraging.

What would be interesting to know are the differences between growing up without a father and growing up without a mother. We all know that one parent missing is detrimental on its own, but we could learn a lot from knowing what the differences are

My dad died of cancer when I was age 10. My mum didn't start work again until multiple years after his death and racked up £18k in debt, after spending any and all inheritance, insurance etc.

I am now 20 and she has had no interest in me or my younger brothers well being for 10 years, I dropped out of College (UK) aged 17 and threw away the idea of going to university because I needed to be earning money since 90% of days my mum wouldn't even buy food, let alone cook for my younger brother.

I earn just shy of £1k a month, working 40 hours a week. I give £200 to my mum because if I don't she will kick me out with no regard for the fact I would be living on the street and would most likely lose my job. I spend £100-200 on food and other items for my younger brother. If I were to move out and rent somewhere, I would not have enough money spare to provide things for my younger brother.

My mum earns just less than me and works about 20 hours a week and has done since she went back to work. She constantly complains about how long she has to work for and how little it pays her and how much she hates where she works. Any comment suggesting that she find somewhere else to work and/or work more hours is met with fury.

Fathers. Are. Important.

I already know that as soon as I can get out that she will never have a place in my life ever again. My brother plans to do the same. Most of the rest of my family already dislikes her, including her own sister and parents who she has borrowed lots of money from over the years and never paid back.

Lisa Britton is one of the very few things I miss about twitter.

Does anyone know the stats for motherless households? Genuinely curious

Feminism hurts children.

dcsievert · 2019-12-30T08:38:08+00:00

Can also be stated as "Male children are at risk if parented by a single mom." Get folks to agree to that, and it maybe gains a bit of traction.

NordicHorde · 2019-12-30T12:27:57+00:00

A lot of this probably has to do with the fact that people already living in poverty are much more likely to grow up without a father. Like I'm sure a wealthy single mother's kids are probably gonna turn out fine

ZigZagProton · 2019-12-30T13:13:39+00:00

Men promote and encourage peace until they really can’t. Best example is even under so many hate coming from crazy feminists and endless cases of fake sexual accusations, the most men do is to go their own way.

The-Pokester · 2019-12-30T15:19:16+00:00

I grew up without a father, hope I won’t end up as one of those statistics.

OneSilverDollar · 2019-12-30T15:24:39+00:00

Is this true for children growing up without a mother as well? I'm interested in seeing which produces more successful children, single mothers or single fathers.

KrogerPornStar · 2019-12-30T16:06:11+00:00

Is this also an endorsement of opposing gay marriage and gay adoption?

mrkeifer86 · 2019-12-30T16:16:37+00:00

Im a alienated father. Havent seen my kid in over 11 years. (Shes 13 now). I pay my cs week in and week out. Harsh reality is i cant afford family court. Shit needs to change because men are paying thousands to "establish rights" the mother never had to pay for.

Coloring_Fractals · 2019-12-30T16:48:02+00:00

LPS wouldn’t help in this area at all.

BlackVendaeta · 2019-12-30T19:49:41+00:00

The amount of people in that comment section who are just outright refusing to do research on this, and then get mad when other people show them the statistics is just sad.

There is also a lot of "what about single mothers" comments, as well as "what MRA bullshit is this?!" comments.

The other day my dad told me something pretty sad He was telling me that I don’t need to care about Father’s Day or his birthday all down to the fact that he’s my dad and is pushed to the mindset that those days are irrelevant to everyone else which makes me feel sad

alienalgen94 · 2019-12-30T09:10:47+00:00

Does it count if he worked two jobs and I never saw him?

I had a 3.8 GPA in high school but dropped out of college and got a dui this year and I'm 25 now.

Trying to turn my life around after hitting rock bottom and maybe give back to the state and communities and work with students or young ppl as an educator or the state and help clean it up.

Big heart just pretty hyper and doesnt help after the DUI I found out what circumcision really is and i fell into a major depression in 2019 because i was cut as a 2 day old and robbed of my own body.

I feel violated and cheated of my sexuality and abused psychologically.
