# of Thumbs Up Received (1)		 I'm a single parent and I take complete offense of Alaina's response. Raising a child is a choice, some families have one parent, some have two, and some even have same sex parents.

Neither family style is better than the other, they are what they are. There are many reasons why a person either make the choice to be a single parent or are forced into I by circumstances. Alaina, I’m afraid you live in a myopic view of the world. “A village” can be friends and family, it doesn’t have to be a married partner, and a marriage doesn’t necessarily equate to permanence, stability, or “turning out better.”

Single parents can provide a stable and fulfilling life foe their child or children. They have the potential to earn enough money to provide opportunities, and some would argue that too much one-on-one parent time makes kids needy. Parents of single kids could potentially be better adjusted to real life.

As for the initial question from Montillis, there is no right and wrong, it depends on the person’s situation. And one parent is just as effective as two.

Top 5 in: Discipline, Families and Relationships, Family Activities, Financial Aid for College, Growth and Development, Health and Wellness, Parenting Support, Parents and Schools, School Policy and Education Issues, Study Skills and Academics, Transitions and Readiness, Study Skills and Academic StrategiesTop 5 in 12 Topics		 Well, I can only speak for myself, but when I met my future husband he was the single father of a four-year-old girl. I knew that if he was to be in my life, so was she. So, instead of meeting and falling in love with just him, I made it a point to get just as involved with his daughter.

I remember him once saying that I would have to compete with her for his affection and I told him that no I would not. I expected that he would put her first. Children do not ask to receive all the stress and grief we heap upon them with all the selfish things we do.

I would say that love is the only reason you need to raise someone else's child. Not just love for your prospective mate, but love for someone who is about to become your child too. Just remember that children put their heart and soul into everything they do, so if you can't commit to them, don't commit to their mom or dad.

# of Thumbs Up Received (1)		 This is a FANTASTIC topic - how relevant in a society FULL of single parents! I am so happy someone is asking...
First, my husband and I (who married while pregnant) have a 15 month old daughter - there's your background on us.
Logical reasons: The kid will turn out better! Two people raising a kid have potential for more work (= more money = more opportunities) and potential for more time w/ the kid (one parent stays home = save $ on childcare/ more stability/consistency w/ child) and potential to make a more well-rounded individual out of them (two parents have two P.O.V.s and the child will learn both - styles of communication/conflict resolution/reasoning skills/stress management... all the things you teach a child). PLUS, we all know how stressful handing your life and reason for living over to a baby can be, and for the parent's sake, it is SO MUCH better to have two people. You can go on forever. To sum this point, though, "it takes a village to raise a child" - the more loving, PERMANENT people in the child's life, the more stable and fulfilling that child's life can be.
I have to say that I do not have any authority to comment on the "right" or "wrong" of the issue because I believe "right" and "wrong" are very subjective and personal concepts. I do, however, suggest that a person does what they believe to be right instead of what they believe to be wrong. I have observed this to be much more effective route to happiness and peace than the other.
So, in effect, do what you think is right - but there are many (logical) reasons to raise another person's child - even if you don't think it's right - which may in fact make it the right thing to do!
