Throughout the essay, the author uses many creditable sources to appeal to ethos as well as what she has personally experienced as being a single mother. She also included some of the studies that are done on single mothers by experts such as: sociologist, and professors. Being a single mother in society is very different from being a mother. According to “In Defense of Single Motherhood,” “A Pew Research Center poll on family structures reports that nearly 7 in 10 Americans think single mothers are a “bad thing for society.”” (Roiphe 58). Roiphe also uses her own personal experience on what it is like being a single mother with two children. Using her personal experience adds so much to the message, but not only that she also provided us with statistics and expert opinion which makes it much more creditable on the issues that single mothers face.

When I think of a single mother the first thing that comes to mind is a hard working women that has to do all that's in her power to care and provide for her children. I also think of a hard working, independent women. Unlike the way I view single motherhood “7 in 10 Americans think single mothers are a “bad thing for society.”’ Single mothers are not bad for society they are just not as lucky as other females that have had children. Not all of the girls that decide to have children pick “the right” person to have that kid with. Majority or single mothers are not married but that is just a loss that they have to take

For as long as human families have existed, the core family group of a father, mother, and the children has been the ideal composition in what could be considered a balanced and fulfilling functional family. There had been many studies of the effects of having certain members of these groups on the family household present and absent. While there are many hypothesis of the effects of the children in the family in household with a missing parent, most of them are indeed negative and there had been studies that these can vary in many different aspects of a child’s upbringing. These effects will be discussed and functionality of the household family itself will be discussed to look at the issues

By definition, Feminism is the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. This is demonstrated when Margot experienced feminism by the pushing of her boundaries to be happy, independent and to feel equal in society. Like her husband, Francis, whom was a wealthy, successful businessman. Who in some ways is the stereotypical example of masculine or “powerful”. Margot wasn’t the typical woman, she on the other hand was more like Francis. Margot was powerful and knew how to use it. She defied gender roles by defying gender roles by acting in the manner of a man while staying true to womanhood.

Currently in the United States, women compromise half of the country’s workforce. Many single mothers are now the main income producer in the household. According to the US Department of Labor, “more than 75 percent of single mothers are the sole provider for their family.” ( citation) As a single mother of the past seven years, I will address the challenges and a few benefits single mothers encounter in the workforce.

A single parent is one who is living without a spouse and/or partner. This individual takes on all of the daily responsibilities that comes with raising a child(ren). Furthermore, consider the single parent the one who provides solely for the child as they are the ones with them most of the time throughout the stint of their entire life. Even when discussing the separation of parents and/or divorce, children live with one parent who is also known as the custodial parent. While the second parent normally has visitation of their child, too. However, in many cases, the second parent is either only seeing the child sometimes or has disappeared from the child's life completely, altogether. Years back, the death of your

While doing some research, I have learned that maternity leave has become quite an issue. In Virginia, we do not have a state law that specifically requires employers to offer pregnancy leave. Although, we do have the Human Rights Act that must provide some leave for those women who are disabled by pregnancy. Being disabled by pregnancy means that you can no longer do certain activities so that the mother can deliver safely and care for the newborn.

Under the Family Medical Leave Act, maternity and paternity leave, otherwise known as parental leave for new parents, is protected. Passed under the Clinton Administration, this Act provides workers with twelve weeks or less unpaid leave with health benefits. Although, federally, unpaid leave is guaranteed, paid leave is not. This often leads to discrimination in the workplace and many other problems such as health issues for new mothers and financial difficulties especially regarding day care. Some offenses include “firing or demoting a pregnant employee, denying the same or a similar job to a pregnant employee when she returns from a pregnancy-related leave, and failing to grant a male employee health insurance coverage for his wife's pregnancy

In the past, there were heavily enforced gender expectations regarding male and female roles in the household and in the workforce. Women were expected to stay at home, and the men were expected to bring home the income. Since the feminist movement took off in the 1960s and 1970s, more and more women have been working outside the household. In addition, more men have chosen to stay home and be the primary care providers. This has resulted in a shift in the gender expectations that were previously dominant. Nevertheless, even with these changing gender norms, in cases where one parent needs to stay home, it is still women who are stepping up to the plate in order to fulfill the role of “primary caretaker” regardless of their career goals or current work situation. As the movement has intensified, though, it seems as if those who are choosing to stay with the “traditional” gender roles are being criticized, mostly by working mothers, for their choices. Stay-at-home moms in particular are perceived differently and, in some cases, looked down upon and criticized for not taking advantage of all that their gender has done to pave the way for their equality. Although it used to be the expectation for the female to stay at home to keep house and take care of the children, the women who live this lifestyle today are not “anti-feminist” because of this choice; they are not being forced into this

Throughout the United States history, there has been many political debates, one of which was Women’s Rights, which had played an important role in US society. One major debate on this subject was the proper role of women in American society in 1848-1910. Many people had different viewpoints. For example, in “How to be the Perfect Housewive”, an article from Godey’s Lady’s Book and Magazine, the author explains that everything you do should be for your husband. On the other hand, American activists, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, believe women should have equal rights to men, to show the wrongness of men tyranny over women, they decided to write the Declaration of Sentiment. In one of the excerpts, they wrote, “He has compelled her

as different. Being raised by only one parent seems impossible to many yet over the decades it has become more prevalent. In today’s society many children have grown up to become emotionally stable and successful whether they had one or two parents to show them the rocky path that life bestows upon all human beings. The problem lies in the difference of children raised by single parents versus children raised by both a mother and a father. Does a child need both parents? Does a young boy need a father figure around? Does the government provide help for single parents? What role do step-parents and step-siblings play? With much speculation, this topic has become a very intriguing argument. What people must understand is that properly raising a child does not rely on the structure of a family but should be more focused on the process or values that are taught to these children as they learn to mature. Children of single parents can be just as progressive with emotional, social and behavioral skills as those with two parents.

One thing in my life that I had to dive into doing was being a single parent. I no longer had just myself to worry about and to take care of; I was going to have another person to be responsible for. I had a mixture of feelings when I found out I was pregnant. I did not know if his dad was going to be around or not to help me. I was worried, nervous, scared and excited all at the same time.

It takes more than one person to have a child. The mother does carry the baby through a long nine months, but she does need help sometimes. The father has his own special way to care for his newborn. When a baby comes into the world it needs a lot of care and attention. This is a lot of pressure on the mother all alone. This is why fathers need to get paternity leave along with his wife or mother of his child. There are biological, legal, and even moral reasons why a father should have time off to spend with his new baby.

Have I ever been a teenage mom? Yes. Is it hard? Yes, sometimes it can be especially when you are working two jobs, college, and taking care of him on your own. Why does teenage pregnancy keep going up? Because teens see their friends do it then they do it. However, that is not the only reason. Slowing opening the door, the doctor came in telling the test came back positive. Was I scared? How did I react? I was very scared to tell my mom, however I told her and she was a little mad at first then loosen up a little. Did I think about getting on birth control after? Yes I did. Teenage parenting is not easy. Especially, those who struggle to get by or don't even have a job. Although, it can not be that hard if you have a stable life and mind set.
