“Lacked a good male role model”

Gee Mom, I wonder who might possibly be at least partially responsible for that?

"Gee Mom, I wonder who might possibly be at least partially responsible for that?"

What you're insinuating may be true, in this case. And you have a valid point in reference to what single parenthood has wrought in society at large. However, some single parents are due to the death of a spouse. ...I know this firsthand.

And even in those cases, raising kids alone is not easy and indeed those kids are more likely to have issues.
