Growing Up a Little Faster: The Experience of Growing Up in a Single‐Parent Household
Abstract
On the basis of interviews with single parents, and with adolescent children living with single parents, a theory of the structure and functioning of single‐parent households is proposed. The premise of this theory is that the two‐parent household maintains a hierarchy—an echelon structure—that the one‐parent household can forgo. The absence of hierarchy permits the single parent who works full time to share managerial responsibility for the household with the children. The consequences for the children may be a fostering of an early maturity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
