    Excellent video… Woman should not feel guilty being a sigle mom. LOL funny my daughter sneaks in the bed with me every now and then too. I love it. She’s right too, you can’t be afraid to ask for help, that saying is true it takes a village to raise a child.

    The two parent family is the ideal but is becoming more rare these days. If the mother has a strong sense of values, a good career and skill so that she can afford to take care of her children, then I think the single mother will do a good job. We have been taking care of our children and other folks children for hundreds of years so this is a common thing for our people. Just keep a positive attitude and raise your children with a positive self- image and morals and you will do fine. I think more churches need to get involved to help single mothers as well. It takes a village.

    but he sleeps in the bed with her? Kids need ther own sleeping space. No biggie I guess since that is certainly going to come to an end once he hits the teen years..

    Her son is adorable and I love it some times when my son sleeps with me as well. It’s not every night, but I definately relate to what she was saying. You go Nia!!!

    THANK YOU FINALLY A REAL BLACK WOMAN. TICHI ARNOLD NEEDS TO LEARN SOMETHING FROM HER. TALKING ABOUT A WOMAN CAN’T RAISE A MAN CHILD. GIRL GROW THE HELL UP. I CAN’T STAND TO SEE A WOMAN TALK ABOUT HOW SHE NEEDS A MAN TO DO THIS AND SHE NEEDS A MAN TO DO THAT. WOMAN PLEASE DON’T LISTEN TO ANYBODY WHO TELLS YOU, THAT YOU NEED A MAN TO RAISE YOUR CHILD….BECAUSE YOU DON’T!

      OMG…I think you took it out of context what tichina arnold was saying: there is TRUTH to the fact that a WOMAN can not teach a MAN how to be a MAN. you can teach him what you think a man should be, but you a woman does not know the thought process or the fellings of what men go through. Alot of times boys that were raised by single moms come out three ways: extremely expressive, wanna be players, and rarely balanced. If you don’t have a man to help, rely on Jesus. THATISALL!
