Probably divorced men are slightly more traceable. They are also on the whole probably more responsible than men who never got married but have one or more children.My point is that most of the problem with single mothers is not due to the greater societal acceptance of unmarried mothers. Rather, most of it is due to the greater acceptance and prevalence of relationships that include children and don't endure long enough for the kids to grow up. Many parents clearly feel less obligation to "stay together for the children." |
