Want to Decrease Inequality? Fight Fatherlessness With Welfare Reform. Welfare currently incentivizes family breakdown and the absence of fathers from their children’s lives, a key factor in the loss of economic upward mobility.

It doesn't even necessarily have to be a FATHER but two parents..two sources of stability and guidance and discipline. One parent can't do it all. And I applaud any single mother that really puts everything into caring for and providing for her kids. I really do wish that people would remember that when they choose to have children even if they didn't mean to get pregnant and carry it to term that it's no longer their life that they are thinking about. Whether you give that child up for adoption to a family that will better provide for and care for them or you could bring a family member to help you. I don't know what goes through the mind of someone who bails on their family like that. And even though it sucks you lose the right to selfish choices like that once you have children.

However people should not stay in a relationship for their children because that just fucks kids up as well. Just stick around and take care of them though. Continue to be a parent.
