No home is a good environment to raise children in if parents are not loving. There is a big difference between unloving female-headed households and those that are loving. A dysfunctional parent will not create a healthy environment for children. This is as true of the female-headed single-parent household as it is of the male-headed single-parent household. It is equally true of the two-parent household. Children grow best physically and emotionally in homes where they are loved.
