Look at any poverty report eg “ feeding Britain “ and you see children if single parent families high in the stats. But who ever said it should be financially possible to support a family of one wage?
Interesting that such a forthright rejection of the idea, prevalent from Victorian times up to at least the 1960's, that the husband should go out to work while the wife looks after the children at home, should come from you, Oracle. Not sure how that fits in with your views (which I support) about parental responsibilities.

It was labour in Wilson’s time decided to open the flood gates of easy divorce, and the destruction of marriage. With it labour created endless misery, the single parent tax credits are not an answer. Parental responsibilities only stop when the child becomes self supporting.
