Growing up to a single mother

[audemarzz]

Lmao I had a pop-in-pop-out father(I use the term father loosely) as well I remember he show'd up on my 6-7th bday with video games, I'm all excited I play the games a bit and fall asleep and wake up all the games is gone I'm running around the house like I'm thinking like did I dream that he came cause it was late when he showed up I was already tired but I forced myself to stay away to play mortal kombat on the sega genesis . . . I go to my moms cause at this point I'm confused as hell, I ask her "did xyz come and leave me some games,what happened to them" come to find out this nig rented some games on my birthday but he didn't bring the actual rental cases so I didn't know.

The fukk'd part about it is he got the cheapest rental option possible which is 1 day rental,hardly be apart of your sons life and when you do make sure to be as cheap as possible brehs.

i strongly doubt that there are more pros than cons to growing up with both parents in your life.

sure, your mom may have done a great job, and you may have turned out alright, but there's a lot of intangibles that you missed out on.

So you're agreeing with me?

There's intangibles that everyone misses out on, whether they have a father or not, the generalization of all dads being good dads or all dads being in your life for the sake of having a dad will make you a better man, is an enigmatic imaginary idea on here. But ultimately if you're satisfied with yourself why would you think about intangibles?

I raised myself, both my parents got into new relationships/marriages and left me in limbo. Thank the lord for my grandparents though

I was raised in a whorehouse by my step mother and this guy we called uncle mac.

Anybody here grew up in the household of a single mother?

What do you think are your pros and cons, as a person, due to your upbringing.

Crazy, I was going to make a thread on the same topic

I never understood why the Coli or Americans, period, are so obsessed with the topic.

I mean, many mothers all across the world have been accustomed to raising their children alone. Happens in the UK, France, South Africa, anywhere you go but especially in poor countries. MEN don't always marry the women they empregnante. That's a fact. For example I was in Costa Rica and was friends with a chick there who was a single mom. In their society it's no big deal.

But comparing conversations with other foreign friends and message boards and the ones among americans and US message boards it seems like you clones just love that topic

Maybe the fact that i grew up in a 2 parent home makes me not appreciate it or understand the problem but just saying i never understood the obsession with this issue

I technically had the male figure in my life cause I saw my uncle everyday, but still was raised by a single parent.

Pros is that being a mama's boy definitely has it's benefits. I can't lie, my mama spoiled the fukk outta me and my lil bro. Big birthdays every year, trying her hardest to make sure Christmas every year was dope, and people ain't lying when they say single mothers are THE BIGGEST #HOH card holders. They can fukking sniff the shame and foulness of trifflin hoes years before their son can. Also nothing better than the love of a good mother. I remember that thread where it was asked would you knock a chick out for touching your mom. I don't condone hitting women at all, but if you hit my mom, run cause I'm warning you now I will lose all rationale and go ape shyt, regardless of gender.

The Cons appeared around the teen and young adult years. Its clear when its time to get your own cause you want to do stuff your way while she wants it another way. You like cleaning your space up then and she wants it done now. Just little stuff that makes people incompatible living under the same roof, the only thing saving my ass from being kicked out was that I was her child.

The black community is proof not imaginary. Those kids raised by single moms who turned out all right are not the norm and that depends on what you consider all right and a healthy environment for a child

I don't think women should get pregnant until there married/long term and has agreed with the man that they want kids especially black women, this would help the economy and the single mother problem

Other than poverty, I had no real issues.

I did and my mom wanted me to respect my father but i just dont fukk with that dude, he is a major piece of shyt.

 

[Chris Cool]

was basically raised by my mom and her side of the family, the male father figure role was played by other family. not because my dad skipped town or anything, dude was just sorry as fukk as a dad. anywhere from 7-12 kids from at least 7 different women and the nikka never helped raise not one kid. breh wanna hang out now because everybody grown, he just come around and smoke, shyt be having me in my mind. I cut him off a few years back, but my mom kept pressuring me to build a relationship with him. i have no complaints about him not being around, he got locked up when i was in high school and i was lowkeybecause my mom used to force me to go to his house. shyt used to be awkward because we had no father/son relationship and i never acknowledged him as such. my mom did good though, I'm doing way better compared to some of my half siblings whose mom's weren't shyt.
