1. They blame the victims. For example, if someone loses their husband/wife it is not their fault they are a single parent. They could also experience domestic violence.
2. secularisation. People no longer religious meaning women feel they can get divorced in comparison to the past
3. exaggerate on decline of the nuclear family as there are still a lot of people in them, O'Brien says that at some point in peoples lives they've lived or will live in a nuclear family
4. feminists believe traditional family roles are oppressive to women, divorce is good if being abused and gender roles are socially determined - not fixed at birth
5. most single parents work as they can then afford childcare and may also be in an extended family so therefore, get childcare for free
