Can a woman raise her son to be a man? With the right
tools I would say yes.
Many women are forced to take on the roll of dad , for numerous
reasons. some that come to the top of your head and some reasons
beyond our wildest imaginations. And let's not forget the women
who have to to play the dad role because the father decide to be
with someone else. However, I feel that a woman can teach and raise
her son to be a productive man and still live her life to the
fullest.
I would really like to hear how anyone feels about this. and
especially here from any men who were raised by there mom or
another woman. So sound off, America!

Report AbuseI believe that a woman can help her son to be a good person, a healthy respectful person. A woman can help her son to a certain extent.
I am a great mother,but never had tried to be their father figure.
I am a woman and don't know how to be a man.
All I can do is surround my kids with positive male role models if they don't have one.
A man can raise a healthy,happy daughter,but there are certain things only a girls mother could understand.
Same with a woman.
Many women raise healthy happy sons, because they are great mothers.

Report AbuseMy husbands father wasn't around so his mother raised him....even though she is a psycho b*tch. He turned out really well because he just did the opposite if what she did!

Report AbuseI believe a single mother can be successful raising boys- I have two. On the flip side, men can have the same luck with raising girls. I was raised by my single father as well, and I'd like to think I turned out OK. LOL
However, I DO believe boys and girls miss out on some things when the other parent is absent, but there's not a lot you can do besides give them all the love you have. My husband and I have discussed it often because he was raised by a single mother too (and he's wonderful by the way!).

Report AbuseWant to know where the alpha male has gone? Can't find a man's man? The James Bond types? The John Wayne types? All are nearly extinct because as a country, we now have a generation full of men who were raised by single mothers. A nation full of p----- to which only fat, fugly, ball-busting, woman are attracted to.
Want to know the proof? Your child! You had a baby with some jerk, some creep, some a---- , some SOB because that's what you were attracted to. NONE of you procreated with the p---- who completely fell in love with you, bought you flowers, gave you all the attention and the respect you ever wanted and more. You single mothers know damn well you aren't attracted to these types of men either so why are you raising your sons this way?
Get off your high horse (support group/pity party) about how great of a single parent you think you are and look in the mirror. Be honest with yourself and realize you've f--- ed up. Be strong! You can't change the past, but you still have influence on the future. Get your sons a ton of exposure to some man's man types out there--if you can still find any. These men will help to mentor your son in a way that you can't.
There's more to raising a son than just making sure he's alive. Single mothers are doing a great disservice to their sons if there are no strong male influences around.
