I am SURE that your child will be far superior to the child of any WM just by virtue of your apparent proximity.
Take care.
In all fairness more parenting time does not ensure better success but to me the odds are simply higher. I know great single parents that spend less time than couples and have much better kids. I simply say that the odds seem to be better. Take care.

Then why even make such a divisive, hurtful statement??
Too many mothers these days are dumping their kids off at daycare first chance they get (6 weeks).
And they wonder why the same kids are in therapy dealing with abandonment issues.
I take offense to statements like this. I suppose you think our kids would be better off spending quality time with their mom at the homeless shelter or standing in line at the food pantry. Perhaps you could climb off your high horse and see that mothers don't "dump" their kids off the first chance they get, they have to work and earn a living to feed, house, and clothe their kids. A child who's mother supports them is FAR from "abandoned."
Contrary to your half cocked theory, there seems to be an awful lot of children of helicopter parents in therapy. Ever wonder about that?
I don't feel bad about making light of the ridiculous and asinine assumption a PP made about dumping a child at daycare because a parent "wants" to. I serve my community in many ways. Some of them including helping the disenfranchised people here. I certainly do not think poorly of them nor do I think poverty is a laughing matter.
What IS funny is that going out to work to provide for one's family so they are not in poverty is looked down upon by some people.

There are no words to describe how hurtful this is to read.

Divisive hurtful statement? How so? Explain because I am lost on this one. If I made an observation and it hurts or offends someone, then say it and I clarify my statement. The motive was not to hurt or be divisive. That does not mean that making a statement does not hurt or is divisive. That may be the case for the simple reason that some people may take things personal and take it that way which was not the intent. The intent is to make an abservation. Take care.
