in 1975 there were 3000 single parents,
now there are over 100,000.

a neighbour of mine, a single mum, screams at her
boy constantly and he just laughs and does as he likes.

the other day he was playing near the road and i told him to go
in and tell his mum what he was doing. he smiled at me, thinking
i was another push over. but the tone i spoke to him in and my serious
facial expression he said "k" and ran in.

do people need to be taught how to raise kids?
