We may have got the wrong end of the stick and all isnt light and dark but whether it be a single parent co habs married seperated etc if a parent of either sex has time for their child to listen help guide advise and its done without aggro and intimidation (shouting temper fits) then a child will grow up well adjusted. The parent needs to avoid spoiling cowing down ignoring or palming of onto others as well as the child will feel unwanted and more likely to "derail" at some point. Sadley nowadays even kids with 2 parents might not see them as much as they want to or need to due to them working.
Its ironic that some of the best behaved kids I know are brought up by one parent so are not mollicoddled spoilt or ignored. Their parent has a part time job so there is not a real shortage of money and they value what they have. On the flip side the ones that get what they want when they want it reguardless of the price are the ones that can cause more trouble because they dont have a guiding influence other than the "gang" they run with. End result can bee seen at wekends.
