 In ‘Deadbeat Dads’ an insult to reality (Philadelphia Daily News, Philadelphia Inquirer, 5/26/09), editorial board member Fatimah Ali condemns Lifetime TV’s Deadbeat Dads, explaining “Just when I thought TV couldn’t sink any lower with some of its toxic programming, yet another new reality show is poised to hit the lineup - Deadbeat Dads on Lifetime…The creators are using the program to exploit what is really a much larger social problem - America’s broken families.”

Cathy Young: Even in Sweden’s generous welfare state, kids in single parent homes more at risk
“If children without fathers fare worse than children in two-parent families, say defenders of single mothers, the answer is better pay for women and better social programs. Yet even in Sweden with its generous welfare state, a major 2003 study found that children raised in single-parent homes were at significantly higher risk for addictions and serious psychiatric problems.”
A nice piece from Cathy Young in the Boston Globe--Single mothers and the baby boom (5/26/09). She writes:
[I]n general, the two-parent family does work best for children, women, and men, and marriage seems the best way to ensure it. No one wants to go back to the day when unwed mothers and their children were outcasts. But restoring a cultural commitment to married parenting is a goal that should unite sensible conservatives, sane fathers’ rights advocates, and reasonable feminists.

"Growing up, I would go on jobs with my dad, unknowingly learning the real basics of a hard work ethic. As a young girl (as most girls do) I cherished every moment I could spend with my dad...
"I would watch how hard my dad worked and [see] the benefits reaped from his hard work and [listen to his] words of wisdom...My dad is the number one biggest influence I have had in my life."
--Pam S., in a letter to Fox News columnist Megan Dowd
