Last I heard it takes two to make a baby. Course, the first paragraph especially could be easily read with the gender roles reversed.

Sister, I've said it before and I'll say it again. You really need to get yourself a blog. As far as an answer to your question, whether or not you offered to help you daughter with her baby is up to you. I know that when my step sister became pregnant at nineteen, she was told she would need to leave home the minute her baby arrived. Of course, then he actually did arrive and he was beautiful and sweet and soft and full of baby love and my dad and step mom knew there was no way they would turn him onto the streets simply because he didn't have a daddy. My step sister and her son have not had an easy life but they also did not stay at my dad's house forever. they got their own place when has three and have been on their own since. She works two jobs and she works hard but they own their home and they have a life together. Helping is not the same as rescuing or not letting your child take responsibility for their actions. My step sister has become very responsible since having her son. But she needed some help in the beginning to get her there.

I know what you mean. The women who meet a guy that's been in and out of jail, have 3 kids by 3 different women, can't keep a job, sells drugs.... but they think they'll be a GREAT boyfriend to them. HA! I know a girl that would become "pen pals" with men in jail, start dating (even though they were still in jail), then shack up with them once they got out of jail, get pregnant, have the baby and (surprise, surprise) the guy skips town. She now has 5 kids by 5 different men, none of which are around. I feel bad for the kids, not their mother. The woman even once told an ex-boyfriend that she was pregnant just so that she could get $500 for the "abortion". She wasn't actually pregnant of course, she just wanted some money. People can be so crude.

That is why the Maury show is sooo popular. It's sad, but I laugh at the same time when these women come on and say "He's a deadbeat! I paid his bills, he lives with me, never had no job...."
Well these women have no room to talk. They weren't very bright either if they couldn't think to use some form of birthcontrol other than a condom.
More than anything, I feel sorry for the children that get caught in the middle of these pointless, childish feuds.

lol..i feel like ur talking about me...i completely agree with u. i was the stupid pregnant girl but i realized that i didnt need him, that i could do it myself! guys are just too immature to handle kids and a controlling girl at the same time. especially when the girl doesnt want to take the responsibility as well. it takes 2 to make a baby.

Women should be taking responsibility for their own actions, but it takes 2 people to make a baby and it's hard to support yourself and a baby on just one income.

kma5one, I agree with you, and the same can be said for men. It is in part based on what society allows. There are those who do this in order to make a living for themselves at the expense of society. Our society tends to say that it isn't your fault, the fault belongs to someone else. The problem is, it is their fault, they made a choice and should be made to accept the responsibility for it. That is only going to happen when the nation begins to enforce the idea of personal responsibility, again. Until then, it's his fault, never hers, and vice versa.

It's because women have been conditioned to think they can change a man and if they take care of them they will magically become good husbands and fathers.
Women as a whole needs to start putting their needs first and not settle for someone that doesn't treat them like a queen they are.

well, I agree with you about the women, they need to take responsibility, but don't you think the father should as well? On some level these women are taking responsibility by just taking care of their babies..... But I do agree, teen moms on the whole aren't the most brilliant people..... there are exceptions, but very few.

I agree. However, people in general need to start taking responsibilities for their own actions. Everyone wants to pass the buck when the s**t hits the fan. Turning to the govt, parents, friends, etc. to bail them out. Sad.
