In my opinion, a single mother can’t raise a young man to become a man. She can merely show him.how to conduct himself , guide him, and teach him the do 's and don’ts in life from only her opinion of what a man should be. She has no experience in being a man in order to show her young son how he should be. She can only try to over stand where a man comes from, how the world sees him, his advantages and/or disadvantages that he may face on a daily basis. Author Tara T. Green wrote a fatherless Child and it entails the disadvantages of children growing up without their Father’s. African American guys being raised by single mother household’s, as far as statistics goes are living in poverty stricken areas, in gang’s, the police are killing them as if they were wild animal’s in the jungle. From the outside looking in, it looks as if there is no control over these children.

She also believes in single parent households, the children suffer psychosocially and as they grow up they feel as though how they were raised wasn’t sufficient enough. The mother’s hurt because they feel as though they’ve cheated their children as well by not giving them the traditional “family” with both the mother and a father that it took to create them. By the single mother working full-time , sometimes more than one job, there is usually an eldest child that takes on more responsibility to assist the single mother, depending on the ages of the children. If they are smaller, there is usually a daycare involved if there is no support system. If the child is of an older age, and the parent works from 9am to 5 pm, it is usually their responsibility to wall everyone home from school, check their homework and make a snack until the parent is off. It takes a very strong single parent who was raised by preferably an elder to raise successful children in today’s society, along with the help of her support
