According to Blank, very little is known about the low-income single men who father the children in poor single mother families. “First because these men are much less publicly visible than the mother of their children, they are often ignored in policy discussion.” (Blank, 2010) Mothers within these fatherless families conduct all the necessary needs for their children such attending school meetings or taking their children for health care when they are ill.

Kids without parents suffer the most, there is no mutual agreement for what's best for the child. The mother would like to have things her way and the father his. They can't combine the sight of each other, even if it means sake of their child. This makes very hard for the child and for the school and for other facilities that has to accommodate for both parents separately. For example “in parent teacher conferences there are two copies of report cards, two of everything because the parents can't agree to share.” This is very sad.
