hmm....thanks for your contribution. I always thought I'd have to get married to have kids, but now it seems like it is no longer a necessity. So an independent women or an independent man could raise children alone.
Perhaps not the ideal situation though, since a lot of relationship skills like compromising and communication can be observed through the parents.
As for me, my parents worked a lot when I was a kid. I was essentially raised by an aunt who was a stay-at-home mom busy with 5 kids of her own until I was 13. One day, my parents said they were going to quit their jobs and we moved across the state. At that point, I felt a little to mature to bond with them. I'm not bitter about the situation though. Strangely, I think I lacked any sort of "rebellion" stage because of the lack of over-parenting.
