EPISODE 165 "MOMMA CAN'T BE DADDY"

There are a lot of single mothers in todays society. I was raised by one for the early part of my life. She did her best and that was a damn good job. But as much as I did not want for food, had clothes, toys and whatever, she could NOT replace my father. There seems to be a theme that a lot of single women LOVE to scream that annoys me to no end: "I'M THE MOMMA AND THE DADDY"...well I hate to be the one to break it to you, BUT YOU CAN NEVER BE A CHILDS DADDY!! NEVER! Now look, before you jump down my throat, let me say I have respect for all the single mothers that hold down their kids and take care of them alone. You are to be commended, much props to you. But simply put, just because you pay all the bills, go to the games, and issue out discipline, YOU CAN ONLY BE A MOTHER THAT DOES WHAT A FATHER SHOULD DO, BUT YOU CAN'T REPLACE HIM! Yes I know some daddys or so jacked up that the kid is better off NOT being around him (and I know some MOMMAS this applies to also!) but the point is, you can't TEACH A MALE CHILD HOW TO BE A MAN! No more than I can teach my DAUGHTER how to be a WOMAN. I can try to teach her self respect, teach her some manners, but A MAN CAN'T TEACH A GIRL TO BE A WOMAN, AND A WOMAN CAN'T TEACH A BOY TO BE A MAN!! This isn't ROCKET SCIENCE people, yes you can RAISE a male child to be a good and productive citizen, with manners and all. Thats where it ends. HE MUST HAVE A MALE INFLUENCE IN HIS LIFE, AN EXAMPLE OF A REAL MAN TO GO BY. Even if it isnt his NATURAL father, HE CAN'T LEARN TO BE A MAN FROM HIS MOMMA! The Questions are: 1) DO YOU FEEL LIKE A WOMAN CAN TEACH A MALE CHILD TO BE A MAN? 2) SHOULD SINGLE MOTHERS MAKE AN EFFORT TO FIND A POSITIVE MALE FIGURE FOR A MALE CHILD OR THINK THEY CAN DO WITHOUT ONE? 3) SHOULD A WOMAN TRY TO INTERFERE WITH A MANS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS SON JUST BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T AGREE WITH HIS LIFESTYLE? 4) IF THE ROLES WERE REVERSED HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER ALL OF THESE...MEANING IF IT WAS A SINGLE MAN RAISING A GIRL?
