In the world we live in today people tend to behave differently and i guess thats where the popular saying came from...That one mans food is another mans poison.
Now the question is ..Would you support your child,friends,younger ones or anyone else who only wants children and not marriage.I am talking about single parenthood,should this be encouraged at all?

Not being married doesn't automatically mean they are or will be single. There are plenty of people who choose to never get married and stay happily together longer than many married couples.
As for single parenthood, why wouldn't you support it? Life doesn't work out the same for everyone and raising children alone is NOT easy. There's nothing wrong with that, either.

I never said anything about people being dependent. There are plenty of single parents who raise their children without being dependent on anything or anyone.

that must be the much reason why they can raise kids because if you are not dependent then you must be independent

Cohabiting is different from when someone decides to stay alone and have children.If he and she lives together then they support each other knowing that they have kids together.
Like as you said,raising kids is not easy at all so for someone who is dependent even if its to the government to think of having kids as a single parent is burden

My ideal is to never marry again and find a boyfriend who I can raise a child with. But I don't think I'd do it myself. Depending on the situation, some people have no choice and others may be very determined and know what they're doing. So as long as they're smart about it, I'd support them 100%.

100% support when we all know that the only thing that is permanent is change itself.For example that its the girl who wants to raise kids without dad and she hooks herself up with a boyfriend,i believe that a time will come when the boy will think of having a family,i mean by trying to get married and at this time,how is she going to handle it.More especially if she solely depends on him for livelihood.To me i think that the only way that anyone would want to have kids outside wedlock is when he or she can take care of herself and the kids without having to depend on anyone because anything is possible

Oh, I'm not encouraging but also not condemning it.A child has the right to be born,whether inside marriage or not. Sharing life inside a marriage could be a blessing but having a child is more of a blessing. It's a duty, responsibility.I salute people who could bring up a child alone and raise a child good traits. We should praise them!

is their decision strictly.so yes I would definitely support anyone who decides to be a single parent. it takes alot of courage to do that so I admire people who take this decision. a child means responsability and you're a single parent you have to be a mother and a father too...but it's also the most beautiful gift God could give us

its not just about having children but taking care of them..alot of single parents have ended up creating nuisance in the society because the children are left uncared for.I don`t think its a wise decision only if the person involved is independent and can take care of the child when it comes
