It's also much better to grow up with enough money rather than not enough money. But what good are you doing by going around announcing that?

You speak as if single parent households are that way by choice. I'd wager 99.99% wish they had a stable partner helping them out.

Clearly “choice” is a sliding scale here that’s based on prevailing social norms. The US has double percentage of single parent, households compared to Germany, https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/12/12/u-s-childre..., almost five times the rate compared to India, and almost eight times the rate of China.
