is the parent single or the child single?

single parenting- is it an outcome of fashion worship?

if you feel that you are liberated or feministic or fashion statement proclaimer then you wish you opt for single parenting.this is the notion in India- I AM UNAWARE ABOUT THE WEST.

on the contrary single parenting shows that the parent is paranoid, antisocial. pessimistic and overpossessive and dominant . IN MEDICAL CIRCLES WE HAVE COME ACROSS CASE STUDIES WHICH INDICATE THE DESIRE for a submissive slave whom he or she will rear under bondage.

a surrogate parent is a noble, broadminded ,thinking person who wants to have a child but inorder to fulfill thier weakenss of unable to rear the child in the best environs.They wishfully donate to someone who will take care. so her offspring gros in the right setup without knowing she is the mother. but the mother knows that all is well with her child.

is it the same with a single parent or is it  totally opposite to a surrogate mother?

now lets take a look at the pros.

  • better than adopting a child
  • broad choice of father
  • excellent choice for a divorcee
  • excellent choice for a widow
  •  medical causes and conditions -yes
  • goes through motherhood/fatherhood
  • better parental bondage than adoption
  • free from clutches of narrowminded spouse
  • no need to be pressurised about imminent threat of divorce
  • absolutely devoid of a spouse in relationship 
  • camouflage  infertily issues
  • economical family
  • totally devote love an affection to the child than the family
  • child can be brought up totally as per your wish and ideals
  • you are solely responsible for decision making with regard to child
  • child is bound to to you emotionally , physically, financially and morally

cons

  • single parenting is falsely thought as feminism personified in India,
  •   the absolute man - the alternative?
  • child doesn not know  pattern of parenting
  • often single child so lonely claustrophobic and craving for friends
  • the child's next generation is devoid of cousin, aunt, uncle etc which makes the child only materialistic
  • child can never buy a father/mother
  • single parenting declares your inabilityl to have a longstanding/lasting relationship or strike a rapport with a spouse
  • single parenting shows that you console the world that you are capable of reproduction but incapable of leading a family life
  • social stigma
  • child has to cope up with mood swings and emotional demands
  • child doesn not have a normal childhood and hence may become- there is a chance- antisocial
  • single parenthood and single moms  still to be accepted by society
  • the majority of children are not single parents so child often suffers from identity crisis.
  • single parenting is a sign of fertile womb but not a fertile mind or loving heart.
  • the child depends on you and you only and is at a loss to communicate or establish relationship with others or the whole world.
  • the child may hate you for your decision in future
  • both the parent and the child are insecure in any relationship
  • can a mom replace a dad or a dad role play a mom-
  • it is a pretence relationship of roleplay for life
  • if you really care for your child's happiness and normalcy and insecurity and health then you may heart of hearts refrain from this or atleast feel guilty.
  • is it exploiting a child's life for  selfish emotional needs of the adult mind?

I think there are many other reasons for being a single parent besides feminism. As a single parent, I find this hub offensive and inaccurate. I can't believe you would actually ask if a child is a substitute for a pet. I think you need to do some further research on this topic.

I agree with MOmmagus that single parenting is a wide topic and should be researched in a proper manner before writing out anything.

Speaking as a Westerner, you seem to consider single parenthood the choice of only the mother with all her inherent flaws. Would you say the same if you were aware of different circumstances? For example, if a woman was pregnant and the "father" beat her up in an attempt to eliminate the child - would you suggest she stay with that abusive man who wanted nothing to do with the child? Or would you suggest she leave him and grab a man, any other man to provide that child with a male figure? Should she hide her head in shame because she was incapable of holding the abusive relationship but then was doing quite well raising the child by herself?

Tough for me to imagine it is all that different in any part of the world and I have lived in many countries. I agree with the above comments that you need to open your mind or do further research to what is really happening in the world when a woman is being forced, out of laziness, ignorance or pure disregard on the male's part to take care of his own offspring.

I'm also quite sure that in the countries where women have been mutilated in their private parts, aren't allowed to hold a job, and left by greedy uncaring men thus forced into prostitution to feed their children - that you simply consider them whores unworthy of consideration.

Sorry to leave less than a positive comment but you struck a chord from someone who spends much time helping women in abuse shelters. I have stopped being shocked when they compare gunshot wounds but hope I never stop being shocked when they are shunned by ignorance.

i am stating it purely from the value point of view
