Who Is A Single Parent

When it comes to parenting from either a man’s or a woman’s perspective, there is an element of biasness that exists in our society. There is this competition that society has created between men and women on who is the better parent, when in reality the two can’t really be compared. Both parents play different roles in the development of their child, and the role they each play cannot be replicated by the other parent.
