A single mother and daughter is NOT a family

It's a welfare statistic.

I agree with this post. DC

Hey Troll!

My mom managed to raise me alone and never accepted a welfare check!

Single mothers are more likely than just about anyone else to end up on
welfare rolls, true. However, there are single mothers who support
themselves and their children quite well.

The key, though, is to have children after building up some sort of
career, and not before. Women who become single mothers early in live
doom themselves to decades of near poverty.

Some of them actually plan to have kids so they can get more from
welfare.

They are more likely to borrow kids for that purpose than to have them
themselves. The extra money is a lot less useful if you have to pay for
an extra kid with it.

It isn't a matter of being doomed at all, although it can be harder to pull
yourself up out of poverty as a single mother. I know single mothers who
have earned college degrees and started new careers - it can be done.

So what's a single mother and a son??

It can be, but it usually isn't. Most single mothers lack the
motivation, the intelligence, or both. And it is often much easier to
find a man to pay the bills, at least if the woman is still relatively
young and pretty.

Betsy, dear, I do believe we're being trolled. Those big bad trolls are
picking on us poor welfare moms with eighteen kids again. Why... it
makes me so sad and upset that I might just whelp another dozen tax
supported dependents right now.

LOL! I know it's a troll. I just wanted to know why it's only a single
mother and daughter, nothing about son's. Anyway I proved them wrong, but
they won't hear it so why bother telling my story. I'm just glad to be able
to post again.
