1 out of 3 households with kids has a single parent


Bravo to the hardy women and men who are raising their minor children without the help of the other parent. 

It's a demanding job when both mom and dad are around, and more so when only one is present….

The Pew Research Center reports  that in the last 50 years, the percentage of households with kids that are under the care of both mom and dad has dropped from 92% to 67%.  Solo moms are raising their kids in most of the other households, although homes with a solo dad have increased to 8% of the total.




Growing up without both parents present is not the best deal for the kids – but let's give full credit to the mothers and fathers who are going it alone, and doing their best for the children.
