Irrational to see the children who are being raised with only one parent since it has become more frequent. On this day, whether the children had one or two parents to show them the obstacle in their life but they can grown up with emotionally stable and successful. The main problem comes when there is an issue between children raised by single parents and both a mother and a

In a world that is full of chaos a challenges that are from many degrees and angles, there is population that has greater challenges, more than most. There are many African American families that are suffering from the lack of economical stability, children are being raised in single parents homes with no father figure, and because of the pressure, single parents as well as two parent households are suffering from stress, depression, and emotional instability. All of these negative feelings of mental challenges and emotional distress are triggered by the lack of financial support and social support.

Did you know 30% of children in the United States live in a single-parent household as of 2012? ( )Every year this number is on the rise and it is causing children everywhere to suffer. When children are raised in an environment with only one parent they can have less opportunities and less supervision than a child with two parents.

Exceptional hardships, challenges, or opportunities make me think of about a million things that have happened throughout my short twenty-one years of life. In today’s society, it is very common for a child to grow up in a home where one of the parents is absent. In most cases, it is usually the father that is not present, particularly in African American homes. “In the United States today, 16,334,000 children under age 18 live in single mother homes,” (Fluty 4). Single parent homes affect children psychology producing negative effects on the child’s esteem, behavior, as well as education. Fatherless homes also take a greater toile particularly on boys, rather than girls.

When picturing what an ideal family on television is shown as, we would picture the family that we see on television shows often, the functional and ecstatic family composed with the typical members: mom, dad, and two to six children. What happens if the family is separated by death or divorce? Will being raised by a single parent affect how the child is raised? These single parent families are a stereotype that is now trending in television. The parent of this family is usually shown facing the challenges of single parenthood, working full-time jobs, while also raising two to six children in their household that they also have to maintain. Humor as well as stereotypes for single parent families has changed during the years. Comedy can change the way that a single parent is viewed in the world and television shows such as The Andy Griffith Show (1960-1968), Full House (1987-1995), Gilmore Girls (2000-2007), and The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017), as well as many other shows. The depiction of single parent families has changed in a more open-minded way for people through the years.

As a society we pretend to know what's best for other people and how other people should behave or live. In all reality we can’t even control or dictate our own lives but we try to with the lives of others. What one person sees as normal is not normal to the person side beside them. There is no book in the world that tells us exactly how we should live and what is the “normal” way and what is not. No one is perfect and we should stop judging them specially on the ways they choose to raise their kids. Not all kids are privileged to be raised with both of their parents, that is not the kids fault. Although people see single mothers as “a bad thing for society” my norms for single mothers are not the same, some of the experiences I have witnessed shaped the way I see single motherhood and as a society we shouldn’t always find something to judge a person by.

Children raised in single mother families may be at increased risk for depression and anxiety. Single parenting has lost much of its stigma because it has become commonplace; however, there are still concerns about its impact on children. “Approximately one in three children live in a single-parent family in the United States, with the majority of families (83%) headed by a mother” (Daryanani et al. 2016, p. 1411). This is an important topic in today’s society because some single mothers may feel isolated, emotionally overwhelmed, and struggling financially. When an adult is constantly stressed, the child absorbs and mirrors these feeling as well. The researcher will specifically compare depression and anxiety of adolescents raised in single

The Single-parent Father diverges from the Simulacrum as such fathers exist as referents; however, this type signifies another American ideal of the virtuous parent. The model for this type is Bob Saget’s Danny Tanner of Full House, who strove to provide his three daughters the experience of two parents through dedication, over-compensation, and unhealthy doses of didactic conversations. Two shows descended from Full House illustrate both the simulacrum (through their cast connections to Full House) and attributes of the single-parent father: Raising Dad, featuring Bob Saget, “A sitcom about a widowed father struggling to separate his professional & personal lives and keeping his sanity while raising two daughters,” (imdb.com) and “Two of a Kind,” “A show about a single father who has his hands full raising twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley [Olsen, of Full House]” (imdb.com). The description of these shows alludes to single-parenting as the modern struggle; unlike other ideals, this television image represents reality at least in as much as the high divorce rates of the 1990s, though

Although not commonly heard of, there is also single parent families lead by LGBT single parents. There are a few reasons as to why a LGBT may be parenting on their own. Some may not want a partner but do wish to have kids and start a family, in that case they choose to adopt and raise children on their own. Others may have been forced to become single parents after separating from their partner or spouse. Another reason for which LGBT’s may be parenting on their own is that they may have had children from a previous heterosexual relationship before identifying themselves as LGBT. In the past it wasn’t common for children to be adopted and raised by a single LGBT parent because society wanted a “stable and normal two-parent family” for the child. Now, single LGBT parents who wish to raise children on their own are able to do so. Being a single LGBT parent can have its effects on the children. “All of these situations carry different emotional issues, which become different again depending on other variable factors, like age, number of children and what other family support the parent has.” (Single Parent Action Network) Depending on the age of the child and when the parent “came out” children may be affected differently. Children whose parents “came out” earlier in life will grow up understanding the sexual orientation of the parent and will have a better understanding of the situation. “Many studies have demonstrated that children’s well-being is affected much more by their
