We have seen how children get out of control if they don't have both parents together to help raise them. Children can become aggressive, scream at their parents and reduce their excitement of becoming a professional in their life. Most children with a single parent are more likely to have a negative attitude. According to the website, (unmarriedamerica.org) there was
26.7 percent of kids living in a single parent household. Having both parents working together to raise their children increases the possibility of having a positive life towards the child, the parents and society. They should equally share their responsibility for raising their child.
The child would achieve more in school and respect one another, especially his elders. He would understand the different sexes better because he is able to have a relationship with both a male and female role model.

Meaning that other single parent have a greater chance of getting the welfare because parents are sticking together. Also, children's won't need to go to a foster home and be unhappy because they are with a family member.

However, they are single parents who say they could raise a child by their self. That they could talk and make a deal of who and when the child is staying with the mom or dad. They don't really see that it hurts the child seeing both parents separate. Single parents also think that the child could get only his/her advice but it’s really not the same hearing from both parents opinion.
Also, they say that they could work, pay the bills, give the child whatever they want but it's really not true. Every time they are not always going to do what they say and sometimes the child may get control by one parent but he need the sermon of both
