I was raised by my mum. I turned out ok. My best friend was (mostly) raised by her mum alone, and she is now a youth worker.
Society really pisses me off with their 'stereotyping' of the average 'asbo' family. They are all one parent families, who's mother's are sluts and the family have numerous siblings, each with a different dad, and while sometimes it's true, most of my experience's tell me it isn't.
My estate used to be REALLY bad, and the kids causing the bother were from 2 parent families, who were just bored, as they had nothing to do.
And, hello media, some single mum's (and dad's) have no option but to be single parents, due to death's, abusive spouses etc, so how about you not label every single parent as 'trouble' and 'with loose morals', as it's better to raise a child alone, than it is to raise them in an abusive environment.
