When did being a single mother become a badge of honor? Sheeze I hear it in the paper, radio, TV, and have heard several people say it. "Oh, you know how hard it is being a single mother." "Well I'm a single mother so I can't just do this or that." etc. Sure some have had some bad breaks, but not all. Seems like the story is: "he was a jerk" or deadbeat, didn't want to work etc. The fact is most of these women knew that when they hooked up with the guy, 2 weeks of dating and they jump in the sack, get pregnant, he bails, and now it's his fault and so hard for her. Hey, I have an idea, how about some of these women be a little more selective with who they are with. How about getting back to valuing the sanctity of marriage?
Some single mothers complain about how hard it is and they give the rest a bad name. Many outstanding single mothers I've met never complain at all and wouldn't even think of doing so. They're happy to be a mother and do their best. Real standup people in my book. As usual, it's the whiners and complainers that we hear about.

What I cant stand is when the woman is complaining about getting pregant. Its all the MANS fault. Hey, you had more say so than he did. Should have kept your legs closed or used protection. I mean, how hard is it to get protection? Heck, they're free if you go to the health clinic, they'll give you big freaking bag with like 40 in it if you ask them.

LMAO!!! Actually, your not supposed to keep them in your wallet. They heat up and kinda melt, and then they can break too easy. Learned that in sex-ed!
What value and what sanctity? Its just a peace of paper. It dont mean squat today. Things get rough and off goes one or the other for someone else. Look up how many divorces go on each and every day. Pay the $$$ and you are out of it.
I was married for 30 years, I did my best to take care of my family. I worked hard to keep the spark alive and well. No signs no hints no nothing. Just one day Poof she was gone! Still no reason given.

Personal responsibiliity and accountability have been on the wane since the 60's in the good old USA. Everything that goes wrong in our lives is someone elses fault, and as such, we feel entitled to a handout from a government program or that there is a need to create a new one if one doesn't exist for our personal circumstance.

I'm not sure what the point of this post is. One thing is for sure, being a parent in a two-parent, traditional marriage family is plenty hard. It has GOT to be harder when it is one parent going it alone. No brainer folks. My wife went on a cruise for a week with her sister and best friend from high school and I managed our three kids for the week alone. Tough slogging. (I negotiated a pronghorn antelope hunt in Wyoming as my quid pro quo for my wife's cruise, just as an aside.)
You play the hand you are dealt. If the hand you get dealt is raising a family yourself, it is tough. On the other hand, you ought to use some judgment in forming associations -- such as husband/wife and mother of your children/father of your children. You ought not go into bearing children casually and without thought. Children raised in a two parent household obtain clear advantages from having two parents. If through no fault of your own you wind up a single parent, you have my sympathy. If through bad decisions and recklessness you wind up a single parent, your children have my sympathy.
