If this is so good and you want it to be the normal would you tell your kids to be a single parent?
I am sure never during whole time did you feel like wow would a helping partner be nice.
Like all other decisions and events in life looking back we all see a point we cold have changed things and use that to steer clear of same mistake in future, why do you defend being a single parent like it is something good? Yeah you guys did best in tough situation but more people have failures than success. We need to find way to increase. Chance of successfully maintaining a cohesive nuclear family as without it numbers show the kids pay for it… single parenthood as a norm is going to cost society big time because most people won’t or can’t do as @daisy and @crowbar. How many failures do you know compared to good results?
