Dearest Omo Oodua Readers: What Are The Shortcomings Of Marrying Somebody Raised By A Single Mother



Unedited:
I have had some friends explained that children (especially) females that are raised by single mothers (impregnated out of wedlock or perhaps divorced) are most likely to have a screwed-up perspective on the importance of family, marriage or respecting men (their husband). I for  one totally hate stereotyping of almost any I was shocked to understand quite a lot of my fellow Nigerian guys also share this opinion, infact a lot of them exclaimed (God Forbid) before I finished asking the question, what is your point of view on this? you think children raised by single mothers will have a tougher time maintaining a family group since their immediate parents failed in this area?  Or its just a bunch of crap?

  1. Well to some extent, it's true. I was raised by a single mother, and I think marriage is overrated. Maybe because I was raised by a single mother, but I have friends raised by both of their parents who think the same. ..Parents have huge influence on their kids.. .But u don't have to be like your parents. ...Choose ur own path.
