Children need to look up to someone to learn how they should live their lives. This is often difficult in single parent families where one side has been abusive or even just not caring enough.
A lot of women have relationships with several men who, mostly by bad luck but sometimes through bad choices, aren't suitable fathers or husbands, and a few fathers bring up their kids without a mother or female role model around.
Other thing cause a lack of role model to be an influential factor in a kid's life, such as working mothers who have to split their time between their kids and earning enough money (thanks to stupid government schemes that don't allow mothers to choose to stay at home and rising living costs) and parents who are not bothered about their child's upbringing.
But how much does it affect a child's future development if one or both of their parents are not there as role models and are there any replacements that would do the same thing? Does TV really have any positive impact on this?
I personally believe that you can't get better than (good) parents as role models. That's not to say divorced couples have worse kids. If the single parent is a good enough role model and there is a grandparent or role model of the other sex available, then I think there is every chance the child will benefit from a loving family. And adopted parents can turn around an unruly child who has had previously bad experiences with abusive parents or carers. And I also believe that kids can suffer seriously from a lack of role model in their early lives and this goes towards deliquent behaviour (though not exclusively the cause) later in life.
It does seem like the government aren't interested in this though, they'd rather carry on making it difficult for single parents to stay at home, then come down on them like a ton of bricks when their kids go truent from school or behave badly. It seems as if they aren't interested in studying the effect of home life on children and that, to me, is very dangerous for the future of our children.

Great Topic here pb :)
It is difficult. I can do so much for my boys been their mother, but i do think that they need there farther figure in their life. Im not saying this father figure has to be there dad. He see's them when he has a spare 5 minutes longer if there lucky. Then there is his Grandad my boys adore him and get alot of attention from him and their grandad does so much with them. There are bad habits they pick up from him though but more often then not they really do look up to him and the things he does.
I would love to go out and work and support my boys, however i feel that i need to be with them. Especially since i am the number 1 person in their life right now. Im only coming up to 25 and feel i still have plenty of time to work after ive been there for the kids. Yeah at times i struggle and think i need to go out and work. But id rather struggle on and be thir for them, then be another person in there life that isnt around much.
I do what i can for them and while there not getting the care and whatever else from there dad their grandad and uncle and other family members are their for them alot more then he is. When there dad does take them out for a few hours when he brings them back they sometimes kick up a right fuss and scream and cry. I dont like seeing it but what can you do? If he saw more of them and did more with them maybe things would be different but he leaves a long gap in between each visit.

Defenetly, my lil Tommy was an amazing little boy and now he is becoming a right tearaway. I do believe at times im to soft on him but i dont give in to his every wim. He started swearing and stuff to which i really cannot stand. But you put him near an adult male and he wouldnt say it as much and seems alot more calmer and behaved.
