I love Terry Crews. He’s one of the busiest men in Hollywood right now and usually when he speaks his words are motivating someone. He holds such strong views on family, marriage and fatherhood. Recently, during a visit on The View he was basically blasted because of his ideas regarding fatherhood. His opinion might not be very popular for single moms, but I happen to agree with a lot of what he shared. I was raised by a single mom and while she was able to instill in me most of what Terry mentioned in the video, there were still some things I also would have benefited from receiving from my father on a daily basis. I think it’s difficult to hear our children may be lacking or missing out on something when we’re doing the absolute best we can as parents, especially for those who are single parents. Terry’s point may have been overlooked for that very reason. Parenting is designed as a two-person job for a reason. Children need both views for guidance and navigation through life’s ups and downs.

Parenting is a challenge period. It’s twice the challenge when you’re raising a child alone. But to Terry’s point, there should be someone in that child’s life who fills the void of the missing parent.
BMWK, would love to hear your thoughts. Do you agree with Terry’s stance on fatherhood?
Deborah Wallace says
If people take out their own understanding and read your Bible God tells us what to do.
He is taking his views from the bible and I agree with him.
I was a single mom and could not teach him manly things.

It’s a shame that his message wasn’t better received. So many women are thrust into single motherhood but that is not the design. We need to start promoting the family unit. That is God’s design for our lives. Get off the single mother high horse ladies! It needs to be the expectation that fathers help raise these children. And as women we need to take some ownership in that.
Darius says
Terry said nothing wrong. Those women were trying to make his point be AGAINST single mothers and it just wasn’t. I grew up with a single mother and the majority of my youth I wished and wanted my father there to teach me man things.

Oh my goodness! This was so hard to watch! They weren’t giving Terry a chance to make his point. I definitely agree with him and that is not to discount a mother’s job and responsibility. I was a single mother and now I’m married and I believe my girls are so much better off having both parents in the home caring and nurturing them. We both bring different things to the table. I was very surprised that they were attacking him the way they were. I don’t think he was saying that kids should have a father in their lives, but I believe he was saying that they would be better off if a father figure was in their lives.

Something tells me that they were so defensive because if he affirms the need for fathers, that would mean that a child is missing something from a same sex relationship if they have two mothers. No one wants to completely admit that the family unit works best when there are two parents of the opposite sex actively involved in a child’s life. A woman can mimic a man as much as she wants, but the truth of the matter is that their are things that a man possesses that as women we just don’t, and the same thing goes for a man. That doesn’t make either one of us better than each other, but it does show that we compliment each other like a toothbrush and toothpaste(lol, only analogy I could think of right now). They may not do the same thing, but they are equally as important to brushing your teeth.
