Should the bad mothers be put on a list like the sex offenders?
2007-01-02 07:22:52 · update #1
Yeah, because the sex offender thing has worked out so well. There are no more sex crimes, so your idea will mean there will be no more bad single Mom's. GREAT LOGIC. I am happily married, but have plenty of single mom friends. Some are not the greatest (and I try to help them see that) and some are AMAZING. Who are you or I to assume we know what makes a good parent?? I did not realize there was a standard. Waste your energy and time taking up a cause that would do some good for society, instead of spewing vicious hateful garbage. You are no batter than the trash you are creating.

No I don't. What I have learned is that being an unmarried mother doesn't make that woman a bad mother. I have seen married mothers who were terrible mothers. I have a friend who works in child services and she says it has to do with the maturity of the mother not whether she's married. What I do think we should do is keep an eye on women who are on welfare and limit how many kids they have.

Absolutley not! My mother got divorced from my father when I was 3. She was the best mother I could have and did everything she could for us. We may not have had a lot of money but she did what she could and did everything for us mentally!
My father was a pice of work though! He got bitter with everyone because my mom left him!
I know so many single mothers who are amazing parents. It may suprise you but, there are also married couples that are bad parents! Just because a dad isn't around doesn't mean that the mother cannot hadle being a mother!

Just because a woman is married doesn't make them a better mother. I know a few unwed mothers who are great, loving mothers. I know some married women who should never have conceived. But that's only my opinion. Who knows what God has in store for those children. I grew up in a household where dad worked all the time and my mom was depressed all the time. She never spent any time with us kids, she never went to any of our plays/PTA meetings/ and for me Choir Concerts. She done what little she could get by with and made me and my 2 older brothers do everything else. I never remember a book being read to me, I don't remember her getting down with me in the floor and playing with me. You know what I remember? I remember being told all the time to shut up and get out of her face. She's a married woman, does that make her a better mother? I don't think so. One thing I learned from her is how NOT to be a mother. I learned that I want to treat my kids better than she ever treated us. I get down and play with my kids every chance that I can, I take them to the park and spend as much time as I can with them. Yes I am married, so all that I am trying to get across to you is that marital status doesn't have anything to do with parenting skills.

No. All the fathers of the children to these unmarried mothers should be checked by the Government and put in jail if not paying child support.

I think government intervention hurts as many children as it helps. This is a very bad idea. Besides, why would you restrict it to unmarried mothers--any parent could be a bad one. Let's keep the government out of family matters unless things are so bad the family needs the government to solve things.

I'm neither lib nor con. So, no. That's a large part of the reason why. Though, compared to you, I see the GOP as one of the more insidious offenders of using the government to prop up the interests of their backers more-so than looking out for the best interests of the American people. They're particularly bad in my eyes since their actions have been in direct opposition to their rhetoric for decades.

No because I know many married mothers that are not as good as unmarried mothers. I know alot of unmarried moms that are great moms.
Bad mothers married or unmarried should lose their children if there is neglect or abuse end of story.

No...there are plenty of married mothers out there that are bad mothers. I am unmarried and I am a great mother to my son.

No! What makes the married mothers better than single moms? It all depends how the mother raises their child. Their are married mothers that are not good moms as well. I'm a single mother raising up my son by myself because the father doesn't want to be part of his life. I'm doing a damn good job with my little one without him.
