of post The father, who garnered 15.7k upvotes and 3.7k comments, explained that he usually picks up his 8-year-old daughter Lisa after school clubs, but one day he had to stay up late at work. I did.
“I tried my best to stop negotiating, but my manager told me to complete the mission by that night, so I did,” the father explained.
The only way to collect Lisa was to ask his teenage son.

As you might imagine, single-mother families are much more numerous, accounting for over 6.3 million or 19.1% of single-parent families.
According to the same report, the average income for single-parent households is $67,405, one-third less than the average income for all families where a parent raises a child ($101,536). Still, it is well above the average single-mother household income ($40,500).
But, as more and more research reveals, children are better off being raised by single parents than living with married parents who have a lot of conflict. , it is also important to note that children raised by divorced parents may have better outcomes than those raised by remarried parents.
