Do you know of a child who lives in a single- parent home and is not well provided for due to premarital sex?

Question

God forgives sin and i am so glad. the point I am trying to make is God has guidelines for sex, and when people break them you and your children pay. I'm not saying ALL single mothers are bad, but wanted to point out what happens to young readers who act responsively. I am a judge of nobody.

However, there are some who want to encourage this practice. If you were brought up in a single home it wasn't your fault. I hate seeing babies grow up in an environment in which they are deprived of life's blessings.

Answer 1

Ok look. I am a single Mother. for now. I am a Very GOOD Mother. my 3 month old daughter is VERY WELL taken care of. she Is The Love of my life. she Is Happy healthy. she sees her Father ALL the time. right now her Father Is away. where is none of your business. we are getting Married as soon as he comes home.

How Dare anyone here think Just because a Parent is single they can't take care of the Child. I know a lot of single Fathers and Mothers who for one reason or another have to raise the child alone.

OH And BTW I take better care of my Daughter then most Couples take care of their Children. Stop Judging me. God has forgiven me for my sin. and that is all that matters.

Edit: I forgot to say that my Parents were a couple. what a great childhood I had. watching my Dad beat my Mom up. and me getting beat up for trying to help her. no wonder I am so damn messed up.

Answer 2

Wow. Talk about paternalistic arrogance.
I know you meant well, but claiming that your definition of a family is the only correct one is actually incredibly offensive to a whole range of demographics.

I agree with you that unwanted pregnancy is a serious problem, but I don't think your approach is working. Here's a question: of those tragic single parents you spoke of, how many received "Abstinence Only" sex ed? Do you honestly think that these teens and young adults, who are too immature to be parents, are going to refrain from intercourse because there might be consequenses in the distant future?

Imagine if the Religious Right spent its time, effort, and money on scientific research instead of on instructing other people to "keep their legs crossed". They could develop a 100%-effective method of birth control that DOESN'T require a paternalistic lecture, or demanding that everyone follow one particular set of morals. You could eliminate both teen-pregnancy and abortion at once.

It might be a nice alternative to the current situation, in which you are simultaneously offending people and solving nothing.

Answer 3

What sick form of god are you following that punishes an INNOCENT child for for the actions of its mother. There is no 100% effective form of contraception and mistakes happen also there is no proper sex education in schools and many homes due to the fuss caused by religious bigotry. You should try to show some of the forgiveness your religion preaches instead of throwing condemnation around like rice at a wedding.

Answer 4

I come from a single parent home. Yeah we struggled sometimes for money but some people with both parents struggle financially too.

I'm ALSO 24 and I've been with the same guy since I was 14. We've only been with each other and we've worked through every problem thats come up in our relationship with communication and trust. Oh, he's from a single parent home too.

Make of it what you will but I know people who grew up with both parents around who've had many boyfriends/girlfriends.

It depends on individuals. Stop trying to make one better than the other.

**Deprived of lifes blessings?? Okay, my best friend grew up in a house with a mom and a dad. She and her 4 sisters all watched their dad beat up their mom for years...How on earth is that a more productive or blessed household? Your logic is screwed up. **

I wouldn't have traded my mom for all the two parent households in the world. She got me to school, to church, raised me with manners, made sure I saw all my family and got me hooked on reading and books at an early age. She rocked and all the 'poor unprepared single mom' stuff is a load of BS

Answer 5

Let's just say that the girl takes birth control and the guy wears condoms every single time. Hell, let's just throw in a little bit of spermicide in the mix. Most Christians say that life begins when the sperm meets the egg and fertilizes. By your definition, nothing would be "killed." Now, wouldn't you say that this is more responsible than having unprotected sex and risking impregnation?

Answer 6

rather some undesirable human beings look to have teenagers to make money. i'm not stereotyping, yet human beings boost teenagers in undesirable, deprived residences and anticipate those teenagers to make a residing. extra frequently they drop out of school and in simple terms rob human beings to make money. in keeping with risk i'm biased through fact I fairly have considered this in the previous, and rather some undesirable human beings are not above defrauding and mooching off human beings they understand for survival. So, i think of it fairly is incorrect and worse nonetheless, it backfires. The cycle may even repeat if youthful woman infants are uneducated and get pregnant, which I even have additionally considered.

Answer 7

I've known of several... and I was engaged to one a few years ago. (I'm glad that didn't work out, in retrospect.)

There are people who cohabit as dedicated couples, but for some reason or another never marry. There are also familys where both parents are always working and the child isn't cared for (emotionally) because the parents come home stressed and tired.

I'm glad that in some cases, the parents of the girl/woman see how poorly the child is doing and will raise him/her, but I've also seen women go onto welfare and expect everyone but herself to raise the kid.

I think that many single-parent situations are really touchy. I respect women that don't want to abort, but I honestly think that it'd be better to put the child into fostercare or adoption (you can still visit in many cases) until she is better-established.

Answer 8

no. and what matters most is that that child is loved. a child can be raised by two parents who stick it out their whole lifetime and be abused and mistreated by them just as easily as a child can have all the blessings of love and life in a single parent home.

Answer 9

There are multitudes. I am a teacher. I see them every day. But it's not just children of premarital sex, there are children of divorce too, as well the death of a parent or even both parents. (orphans).

Answer 10

I think every child in a single parent home is not being well provided. Every child needs a mom and a dad. Premarital sex may bring up other issues but a single parent home is lacking on a very basic need to begin with.
