I’ve had a few conversations with women who of had this opinion. I asked why women I worked with “why would you have a child with this man when he has multiple other kids that he doesn’t take care of?” Her response was “ I just wanted a child and I knew I could do it alone” I find it so infuriating how many women think just cause they can have a baby they should. It also plays into the gender role that men are only good for money in a family. So many men in my life were role models and did not give me a dime ! The studies show how important having a father or a two parent house hold is but they don’t care for that. Now when this child grows up there’s an escape route for excuses. If they do well then the mother will take full credit, if they don’t they will blame a man who they clearly chose knowing he was not a good man or potential father. This DOESN’T excuse the man who are like that but this definitely doesn’t mean that women can make this lame excuse out of being poor parents. I just find it funny how often these type of choices that are objectively harmful to children are over looked if a woman is doing this. I just find that to be irresponsible.
