Red face Re: what do you think??

Ok, this is a sore point with me....Why are parents from socially deprived backgrounds/ low income families or single parent families singled out as a cause for the problems in our society. How about setting up a scheme to offer support to any parent(s) who ask for it!!
My point is.........I know I have done as well as, and in some cases, better than many financially stable/two parent families that I know
I was a young parent, I have brought both of my children up alone with no support from the father, but they are both intelligent, clean, well cared for and aspire to own their own businesses....I am definiately not super human and have had many challenges to face (I apologise now to my mother :notworthy:)I have just done the best I could do. Parenting is difficult for everyone no matter what their social position is and surely assistance should just be offered to anyone who has the guts to say " I need help"
What do you all think?????
