Should a woman be able to raise a boy alone.?

Question

I am the product of a single mother raising a boy alone. She was nineteen when she got pregnant (unmarried) with me. She seems to hate men as she always told me this even when I was very young. She still will say this to me form time to time and like a month or two ago she started screaming she was going to be a L*****n.Basically she was manipulative and very evil and a horrible mother. I don't believe she should have ever been allowed to raise a child. Especially a boy as she hates men. She also has two daughters and they are turning out to be just as bad as her and just as wicked. I also believe she is a witch (as in some sort of occult member) she seems to love evil and is fascinated by it. Anyways, I don't want this to be personall because already know that this particular witch should never have been allowed to raise a child. What about single woman in general with boys. How many of these boys turn out to be good? Is it right?

Answer 1

I was raised in an all female home with my mother and sister. Both were kinda indifferent towards me. I guess I grew up O.K.

Answer 2

I know alot of single mother that have sons and they are all good boys. your mother has some serious and I'm sorry to say it mental issues. she was a bad mother to you because she hated your father and she took it out on you because she was a boy. but their are millions of single mother's out there and they do a really good job raising their children don't judge them all based on what your mother did.

Answer 3

not all women are men haters bc of problems they had with a man. She has more issues then you could even start to dig up. AND if the mother is a sound and stable mother then yes she sould be able to raise her children and all will be ok.

Answer 4

Sweetheart, your mother is plain old crazy...and I am sorry you had to live through that.   She shouldnt have been allowed to have children period...even if your father would have been around...she still is a very sick person.   However, getting to your question, of course women raise perfect gentlemen!!!   Most single mothers do just fine.  Of course it would be easier for the mother to have the father around to teach her sons things about becoming a man, but women do what they have to do, and they teach their sons how they should treat women, and how to be honest and responsible.   We may not know how to teach them to play baseball, but to become loving husbands and father and obiding citizens, of course.

Answer 5

Well I don't know about your particular situation but I raised *four* boys on my own and they have all turned out well and are grateful for their upbringing away from a *violent* Father.

Answer 6

There's nothing wrong about a single mother raising a male child.  The whole thing rests on whether or not she is a good mother and has the skills needed for such a daunting task.  Even if there were a father on the scene, it's still a handfull raising kids.  The reason your mother hates men makes me ask whether as a child she was abused by the men in her family.  Also, it could be due to the fact that she got pregnant by a man who left her to raise his kid all by herself.  If you are of age, you might consider removing yourself from what seems a very dubious situation in terms of your own mental and emotional health.

Answer 7

I think it's fine for a single woman to raise a boy. I think a parent raised their child extremely similar to how their own parents raised them.

I'm sorry your mom acts like she does. She sounds immature, but that may be because she had you so young. She sounds very selfish.

I think I would've done great raising a son by myself, and I honestly don't personally know anyone who wouldn't do fine with it.

I think that even if your dad would've been around/married her, she would've still felt the same. I don't know if it would've made a difference in your life. It's just the way your mom is.

Answer 8

Don't judge every single mother by how your mom acted. My mother was horrible as well, she had borderline personality disorder and raised me alone (I'm 16 now, and recently moved with my dad). It was very traumatic, and funnily enough made me dislike moms in general. Then my friends took me in for a while, and I learned that not all single mothers are like that.

what is disturbing about your post is you only mentioned boys. Girls are just as influenced by a destructive mother as boys, and in both cases should be taken away to a safer home.

Answer 9

Most single women raising boys are not witches.  I am sorry that you hate your mother.  Don't take it out on all single mothers.

Answer 10

Women have the right to raise sons. One of my friends hated men after she was done wrong so many times, but she raised her son to be the complete opposite, he has turned out to be the most gentleman I have ever met.

There is a mommy and daddy, which should be raised with both, but as single mommy only or daddy only, it is very doable if you love your children.

Don't go off about being a witch. There are actual religions, such as Wicca, that would be offended and they catch c**p all the time from people who know nothing about it. Just because she resorts in evil stuff does not make her a witch, most witches would have nothing to do with her type, they don't believe in evil stuff.  Well...."real" witches anyway.

Regardless, children are brought up however they can be.  Don't doubt all, most, or half women can't raise a male, you would be suprised that they can. This is going to be one of those battle of the sexes for eternity. I look up to all of those who are single parents. If she's a bad mother, and you can prove it, then go after it. There are rights to the father, and the father usually can see his kids often, which technically is still raising them.

Answer 11

I don't think that all single women treat their sons' like that. I'm sorry she hasn't been a very good mother for you. Personally, i believe that single women who do have boys don't raise them very well. My cousin is a single mother with two boys and she's not evil, but the boys are terrible. I think that any single mother needs the help of a husband.

Answer 12

sounds like you mom has issues, i dont think a typical woman would have trouble raising a boy alone

Answer 13

Married moms can be just as evil, and not all single moms are full of hatred for men. I'm so sorry that you were raised in this kind of household, and I do hope you are able to reconcile with your past and realize that you are much, much more than your mother has given you credit for. Her anger does not make men bad, it only makes her and her children suffer. Good luck.

Answer 14

I don't think your question really has anything to do with women raising boy children alone. Its about your mother. Most women love their babies, boys, or girls and are perfectly capable of raising them alone. Sounds like your mom has some major issues and needs to get some help.Why don't you talk to an adult close to you and see if they have any suggestions, or could help in some way. If not, there is always help for you. Your school guidance counselor for one, or a teacher, or someone you trust. good luck to you.

Answer 15

Don't put all mothers in the same category. It sound like your mom has some issues. A (normal) woman can raise a child boy or girl on her own just fine if she make the choice to do so.
