  • Could this have something to do with the circumstances that lead to a single-parent household?

    Theres lots of ways for a father figure to not be associated with a child, to have much less expectation from society to step in. Giving birth to a child, its not really ambiguous that you are indeed the mother. I think its harder to create a single parent household where theres only a father figure, fathers can disappear or never be known (Mothers can too, I know). Did the study account for single-parent households with a father figure being more likely to exist because a father figure more often has a “choice” in continuing to raise the child, and that decision is indicative of their felt responsibility and might be made with respect to their financial ability?

    I guess what I’m asking is, was this study controlled for income, familial support, etc?

    I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just curious as to the details and if the correlation is really just whether it’s a male father figure?
