Man. I'm a single mom. It be like that sometimes.

Not the whole "you need a man around"-thing. It's a single-parent thing. It's hard as fuck to do all the work yourself and not have someone to help out when you may be at your limit.

Not to mention single-parent households deal more with poverty, housing insecurity, poor mental health, overworking, etc.

I watched it happen to a lot of my friends growing up. It's fucking rough.

It's not every case, but it can be a lot.

Are you being intentionally dense?

My father has worked in a different country than the one i live in for longer than i was alive.

I have seen people cry when talking about their divorced parents

Which parent is missing doesnt matter

Are you saying that my experience and the experience of people with a single parent are wrong?

I won't deny that there are elements of a mildly conservative worldview in the post (mentioning the necessity of a "stable male figure"), but you go way overboard with your interpretation. If the post really was in line with such ideas, I wouldn't have posted it here.

And which orifice did you pass this take from, exactly?

Hey look, another person who's bitter with everything around them and feels the need to attempt to shame everyone they see.
