Disney is not the only one

During this weeks reading, I found that Disney is not the only one who makes children go though life with only one parent. Being a child who grew up with a single dad ( and then step parent and siblings), I think that I find situations with other single parents very quickly. There are things that you learn from both parents, the reason that nature ( and God ) plans for all children to have one parent of each sex. I know that there are things I did not gather from the lack of woman influence in my life, I bet Red suffers from not learning outdoors smarts from a father. In the Grimm version of LRRH the mother tells the daughter to stay on the path to not break the bottle of wine she was being sent with, but the mother said no other warning. Since a story like this does not tell the whole life story, you do not know what LRRH knew from previous experience but that is any story, and any life- you learn with age and experience or a mom and a dad.
