Voluntarily wanting to be a single-parent is selfish and irresponsible!

i mean the statistics can only show each parent based on their current circumstances which is a problem in testing social experiments and social problems because of the lack of control factors...
in the idea situation you have have same age parent v same age parents, same upbringing and social economic factors, same family (or no family support systems) etc etc but that's all too hard to standardize...I'm not sure whether the statistics you have have controlled for all factors possible but i guess it's the best ones we've got...

It’s the best ones we’ve got. Several studies by different institutions under different circumstances. Yet they always came to similar conclusions.
With this we can say that one or two factors (circumstances) are at least a very significant trigger for several negative outcomes that can even lead to others social economic factors. For example, you can’t work full-time anymore, means your income decreases while your expenditure is increasing ( because of the child.)

I do agree with you. A child was created with two parents and should be raised by two parents. Even if a woman has the emotional and financial means in which to raise that child, it is selfish and disadvantageous to the child’s welfare especially with some celebrities. My daughter is lucky, she has two parents and has had every she could want and I’ve always put her first, I still kinda do even at 18.

I disagree. Some women want to experience motherhood but because of circumstances, they might not want a man in their life. I don't think it's wrong of them to do it.
If people expected themselves to be in an ideal situation in order to have children, then we would have only the 1/10 of the children that are born now.
A family with both parents will guarantee neither emotional nor financial stability to a child. Both parents might have to work to make ends meet and the child might be neglected in that case too.
And in a lot of cases, men are not that involved in parenting so women are the ones to pull the most work.

As long as you’re well prepared and don’t just do it on a whim I don’t see a problem with it. I also don’t think the statistic op keeps bringing up really applies here. The children from single parent homes with higher odds of becoming delinquents probably has more to do with those homes being generally unstable and financially insecure. These single mothers ended up in a situation they weren’t prepared for and unintentionally forced into. The woman looking for sperm donors are on the opposite end of the scale. They really have a chance to plan, consider and make sure everything is ready for a child.

there are plenty of people who shouldn’t be parents in the world, what’s one more?
it would be better if people would adopt but sometimes the children available have deep seated issues and behavioral complexities that can overwhelm new parents.
it’s a harsh world where the rules are no longer black or white. just bc a parent is a single parent doesn’t mean they will be bad or even guarantee they will be able to be a good parent. sometimes single parents have access to resources traditional nuclear parents don’t have: money, community, physical environment, educational opportunities, etc.
many parents don’t plan to be and it’s not in my nature to try to control someone’s natural desire to foster their own family unit anyway. let people do what they’re going to do as long as it’s not actively malicious.

If only welfare wasn't a thing. Then stupid people would die off. Survival of the fittest
