content: The one thing for me is that they all stood up to claim their own accomplishments. I work full time, I'm in school, I give my child everything. But if you work 40+ hours a week, and go to school at night (presumably to further your career) what time do you have for your child? As a single parent if you're committing 60+ hours a week to something else every week and you have a small child that needs to be in bed to go to school themselves. You raise your child, but they're completely alone. I find that this is what causes the problems with children. The parents try so hard just to give the child what they would have normally with a 2 parent family but that comes with sacrifices and often the sacrifices are actually parenting the child. edit: I don't have a child, I just wrote that sentence in first person as one of them.
