Doesn't it annoy you when some people bad mouth single parents?

Answer 1

Yes it does annoy me.

I had my first son when I was 19 and the father was never involved in his live. No child support, no visits or no contact. He pretty much disappeared. I was a single mother until I met my husband when he was 6 (now 16). We now have a 6 & 7 yr old together and I have 4 stepchildren.

Being a single parent is a completely different experience. But you don't love your children any less and you care for them the same.

Having one parent love you is better than having nobody love you.

Answer 2

It annoys me when people bad mouth other people for what ever reason. Most people are just doing the best they can in life and we don't need to be so judgmental about them. I have noticed that a lot of "questions" on here are just someone bad mouthing someone else and then asking if everyone else agrees with them.

Answer 3

Not really. Everyone has opinions so what's the big deal with someone taking the other side of the argument? People always seem to think freedom of speech goes one way. I'm dead set in some of my thoughts too, but that won't "annoy" me if someone comes at me with their side of the argument. OK maybe the BS-ers annoy me a bit, but only for like a second until I move on.
Good Luck

Answer 4

It bothers and annoys me when people judge anyone...you don't know the circumstances. This goes for teen pregnancy, single parents, custody arrangements, and abortion. I know we all have or opinions (and isn't that why we come here?), but to simple bash a person when you can't know the whole story just irritates me to no end.

And I know several professional women that have CHOSEN to be single parents for different reasons. And the fact is, it is their decision. I might not quite understand all their reasons, but it is important to them, so who am I to judge. Had things worked out differently, I very well could have been a single parent, and I would have survived. We do what we have to to make our little worlds livable.

Answer 5

What annoys me the most is when people automatically judge the dad. I am the proud stepmother of 2 children. MY husbands ex when they were married constantly left the kids home alone until the dad got home and found them. She didnt even call. She would be gone for months and then come home high. She constantly abused the kids. The children were taken from her custody by child protective services and put into their fathers care. So why is it in America the dad is always the deadbeat? She has another son taken from her for the same reasons. My husband didnt know this until her own grandmother testified against her. She hasnt paid one penny in child support for any of her kids.

Answer 6

yes it's very annoying, whos to say they can't be just as good as a parent with out the other parent being there. even now that i'm married my husband works long hours and i'm left to take 3 kids out and about myself and people give me looks and say stupid coments. y should it be and issues just cause you don't see mommy and daddy with the kids?

Answer 7

Yes...its the toughest job in the world. I dont know what I would do without my husbands help...I cant even imagine.

I dont know why so many try it...and thats not criticism to them...just dont know how or why they would want to be in that situation.

Answer 8

Yes, it does. I realize that it's hard for us not to judge other people. We're human. It's in our nature. The thing we have to try to remember to ask ourselves: Have we ever walked a mile in 'their' shoes?

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

yes i hate it when people do that. I respect them, i mean, being strong enough to raise thier kids on thier own. Even if the kid was un-expected or out of stupidity. I respect them, for trying.
