Not much different for single fathers.
Single fathers had to deal with suspicion. Teachers, courts, pastors, neighbors...seemed like everyone wondered "What's that guy want with those little kids? What's he gonna to do to them? Why does he want them so badly?" (because they're
my children, that's why!)
I also had to take the kind of jobs that had shifts, usually manual labor. And I had to choose between being there to get my kids off to school, or being there when they got home. When single mothers were getting help paying for child care, single fathers weren't ...unless they earned less than $100 a month. $100 freakin dollars a month. Moms could earn over twice that and still get 1/2 or more of their day care paid for. No reason, that's just how it was...or should I say "
unjust"?
Soon as my oldest turned 9, I worked nights so I could be home all day. I risked losing my kids over that. Leaving 3 kids under 10 home alone all night was illegal in most states (still is in many). Fortunately, the kids were on board with it because the job paid really well. (what amounts to bribery kept their mouths shut

)
Employers don't like hiring single fathers any more than they do single mothers. It's a risk. Whether you're a dad or a mom, you're gonna miss work when the sitter's unavailable or you're kids are sick or they got hurt or in trouble at school. Single parents are not the most reliable employees. Again, that's just how it is.
