In one parent homes the woman is, both, the authority figure (the man) and the weaker vessel (the woman); which means the woman plays two roles: And because of the behavior of today’s children; she spends most of her time playing the masculine role.
In one parent homes the mother cannot afford to just play the female role otherwise the children would see her as being soft and take advantage of that softness. But when the husband is in the home, the woman can afford to be soft, because her back-up is right there.
So show some compassion; for these mother’s do not mean that they fathered their children; only that they have on the father’s shoes; which are not easy to wear. Maybe one day we will remember how it was before the civil rights movement of the 60’s, when men were father’s and not just daddy; there is a difference in the two.
