Argument on A Doll's House
One is Better Than Two “A Doll’s House” is a perfect example of how single parent homes are started. The author, Henrik Ibsen, ends the story with the mother, Nora, wanting to leave the father, Krogstad. Krogstad said she was not going to raise their children, but he was going to die soon. In the end Bob, Emmy, and Ivar will end up in a single parent home with their nanny, Anne-Marie. Is this such a bad thing? Many children today grow up in homes run by a single parent. Although this is not the ideal family environment, single parent households are not usually the cause of a child’s behavioral problems. Many times, growing up in this family situation instills responsibility within the child and sometimes creates a better relationship between the parent and the child. Children who grow up in single parent households tend to take on more responsibilities in the home and in other aspects of life. When a single parent is working, they have less time to devote to household tasks such as laundry and cleaning, so the child generally obligates himself to complete these tasks. This, in turn, teaches the child time management skills while also impressing upon them the value of hard work.
