There is a double standard out in the world and single dads are getting all the glory. How come people Ooh and Aah over single dads doing the exact same thing that single moms do? Why are single dads deemed more “suitable/attractive” than single moms? I don’t get why people need extra credit for doing what “They Supposed to do” (in my Chris Rock Voice)!

How come when people hear about a single dad, they say “oh how sweet” and “poor guy, has to take care of the children all by himself”. The man automatically earns sympathy from the listener and he’s now a victim of his circumstance and doing the impossible of raising kids on his own “Aye Dios Mio!” Now a single mom is often looked down upon and judged because of her single mom status. No one is giving us single moms a pat on the back and a pep talk as we walk through the grocery store.
