I think it's very unfair and irrational to conclude that children raised in single parent homes turn out weird etc. I was raised by a single mum and i believe i turned out well. very well in fact.so stop bashing single women. They are very strong individuals who sometimes due to circumstances beyond their control have to take up the sole responsibility of raising kids the best way they know how. Wether your husband dies,takes off,goes to jail..etc and you have to raise your kids alone is to me,a huge challenge and i deeply respect women and men who raise kids on their own. Kids can chose to turn out weird wether in single or double parent settings.
I strongly believe that how you turn out in life dosent depend on where you were raised or by whom.It solely depends on YOU as an individual and its about time people stopped blaming their environment,parents,neighbours,politicians..etc for how they turn out in life. We have the capability to be accountable of our own lives.we hold the key to our present & future,not our past. These blame games are what kill our society because we always look for someone to blame. What Esther is doing or will do in future is her sole responsibility and blaming her Mum is very unreasonable.
Nevermind what haters say, ignore them til they fade away - Just live your life

I beg to differ with you this statement. Not when a kid is taught everything in this world by those who bring them up. YOU are born naked even in the brain.

My two cents on this; Every child needs a Father,Mother, Sisters, Brothers cousins, neighbour etc. Each of these people have a very big part to play in a child's growth. The absence of either affects the child even though the present parent does all they can to cover for the missing one. They do a great job but they are limited. The child is also affected if any parent fails to do their part even if present. It is unfortunate that there is no manual for bringing up children. I think our ancestors approach where a child was brought up by the entire village is the way to go.

Apologies are in order guys, the father is actually alive (and here I am busy killing him!)- a retired consultant who once worked at the Min. of Foreign Affairs. He is expected to talk to the media soon about the entire matter.

I have edited that part in my earlier post so that we don't misinform. I take responsibility for the error, nasikitika.

By the way, the confirmation that she comes from a 2-parent family kind of renders this thread useless, as Arunga is not a classic case of a child raised by a single mother,huh? Plus those who were using her as an example now need to look far and beyond for more examples!!

still doesnt change facts on what a child needs to grow up upright...
edit your posts, but mimi najua 'watoto wa mama' have become many and are unbecoming...so are those brought up by dads alone.. but they are much less unbecoming in social conduct..

@Leona Spot on!! a person is born with the ability to choose and the fact the he/she will have one parent will not determine the person he/she will become.
