They don't deliniate in these statistics as to how many of these children are a result of one night stands and the mother doesn't even know which man she's been with is the father. A mother who is careless about her reproductive abilities is going to be just as careless about her children. If father's could have children then I have a feeling that the statistics would show that this is a problem for single parent homes not just fatherless homes.
Divorce is never pretty and the children that end up caught in it often have emotional problems - so what is the cause of the statistics really?
My brother is just now trying to go through divorce. His son may very well end up in trouble. SIL has lost custody of her first child to her first boyfriend. My brother is trying to avoid going to a lawyer. My SIL is trying to convince me to babysit for her but hide the fact from my brother and refuse to let him visit his child. I'm NOT gonna get caught in that. The subject of single parents homes/divorce and such is a little sensitive subject for me right now. I wish more parents would suck it up and take responsibility for their kids... I'm gonna shut up now.
