I just answered a question to a single mother who is with this guy who is abusive to her and her child and she wants to break it off but is afraid of his reaction. Sorry but who cares that child is what matters. Tell me why is it that you need a license to drive a car but any body can have a baby??????????????

Yes. It is very frustrating. I've answered several similar questions...
I'm blaming the parents. If parents worked harder to maintain an open line of communication with their children, I believe the world would be better off. As it stands, young children and teens are finding the answers to their questions from unexperienced, uneducated friends or, worse, in places like this....
Parents need to be PARENTS. They need to teach their children the difference between right and wrong. They need to prepare their children not only for the simple things (like tipping a waitress), but the more difficult decisions in life (like, are you ready to raise a child of your own).
But, I'm with you on this one...
Let's just scream together and hope that our children don't end up pregnant and abused, living in a double wide, wearing a "wife-beater" t-shirt, drinking beer and aspiring to apeear on the Jerry Springer show.
God Bless America.

Oh GOD yes!
However, my annoyances tend to be less about the actual content than the example that you gave, and definitely are less meaningful objections to the question matter.
For example:
-"Claire has 4 pens 6 of them are red. what percent of her pens are red? Im not sure how to show my work as a pr"
"oportion.... sorry i had a brain fart, haha. "
(Notice that 150% of the pens are red)
-"alaa_medo75?" (What?!?)
-"Why In carbon steel materials need post weld heat treatment it no permited for more than tow times?" (Whoa, grammar, man!)
- and of course "why girls get mature in comparison to boys of there age?" (Oh come on, gimme a break! That's not fair...)
Generally, it's just the annoyingly offensive or grammatical jumble of a question that will really get to me, but more often than not, I will be angered by an answer. Whether it's copy-pasted straight from a website, is completely wrong, is ignorant and offensive, or is another grammatical jumble, answer can really get to me.
**And by the way, the example you gave is also something that really gets to me, but in a different way. It's actually kind of sad that some people are put in those situations and can't get themselves out, or don't have the sense to see what they really need, but it is a common thing to have happen. Not so much a "gonna scream" reaction, but it causes me intense frustration nonetheless.

Obviously you have never been in that situation!! Abusers have a trait I call the" fear factor" ( have called it that for 16 years now). They do get the abused into a position where they are afraid to leave, they threaten family, they threaten to hurt the child, you name it they use it. Anyone who has not been abused could never possibly understand it. I was living that way for 2 years , yes I escaped many years ago, but to this day I look over my shoulder constantly for his reprocusions and I live over 600 miles away from him now. Too many people say " just leave" , if only it were that easy. Please do not judge a woman who is in that position unless you have ever been there yourself. I am sure she is staying because she does fear for what could happen to her child.

I hear your frustration. I wish that you'd have to get a license to have a child. It would eliminate all these horrid stories you hear on the news about what people have done with and to their kids. I so wish that people would realize that if they find themselves with an unwanted child that they can take the child and leave it at a hospital, no questions asked, for adoption to a family who wants a child but is unable to have their own.

Have I ever read a question that makes me want to scream? YESSS DEFINITELY!!! God, that frustrates the s*** out of me. I love to respond to them, though. Just for venting, if for no other reason. I get just as frustrated at the fact that there are people on here who's grammar and spelling suck, terribly. I could go on. but I have my two points. Thank you.

I have said the same thing in the past - why is it we take a test to do anything, but anyone can have a baby - there really should be parenting classes that are mandatory

you say that now but if you were in that same exact position you most likely wouldn't react the exact same way. the boyfriends break your spirit firs and they manipulate your mind to the point that you think you need them and they become like a drug. you can't judge her over this situation. she could be the smartest thing sinc Einstein but she is scared weak and may have no where to go. i could kill her if she left.

Yes. People know the answer to some of their questions, just want it verified by others.

fear is a strong bond and unfortunately some women can't break it . even when children are involved. you can't help someone unwilling to help themselves ..... you learn to cope with the questions here.. these are only questions .......i've seen to much over the years
