Very true with rough and tumble play as well. Which i imagine is virtually non-existant for kids raised only by single mothers. And is extremely important for adolescent boy.s Basically it teaches limits - what hurts and what causes pain to others. And overall leads to much healthier social development. Jordan Peterson talks a lot about this https://youtu.be/Ay1KVzVXbjc https://youtu.be/Ay1KVzVXbjc

Most people do that with peers, not parents.

  Parents can play rough with their kids. They tend to if they value it. If they dont value it why would they let them play rough with others, who obviously care about their kids less than they do? To be clear, im not saying it has to come from their parents. Just that it’s usually the dad powerbombing the kid on the bed and advocating for contact sports.

How on earth do you even get to the conclusion that rough and tumble play is off limit for kids of single mothers? Those kids are much more likely to go unsupervised for extended periods of times and are also more likely to learn life skills earlier as they support their mother.

I think children of single mothers are over-represented in tech circles and likely on HN, which (alongside your poor grammar/capitalization and citing of a charlatan) is why you're being downvoted. The truth hurts, but it's true none-the-less. Boys raised by single mothers have terrible outcomes compared to full families, or even of single fathers. This is a sociological fact.
