Apparently any sort of commitment is no longer an issue when it comes to making babies. Why not just "sperm donor?"

Yes, it really, really does. It was a lot easier when you could just say "husband". I just feel sorry for the kids, who grow up without a stable home environment and grow up thinking that it is perfectly acceptable to have kids without commitment.

I believe that someone asked this question before and I really am not bothered by it. Why? because I myself am not married and me and my boyfriend have a son together. We live together like a family would, we just aren't legally married yet. We plan to get married June 08.
I think it is more of a security issue for women because to marry the "babies daddy" means that in an event of a divorce the father can fight for custody. Whereas when they are not married, the father has no actual rights to the baby, and unless the mother is proven unfit, the father has no way of taking the baby away. I know this because I done research for my brother after him and his wife got divorced. I ran across it, and told him that he was lucky they were married. Of course this is in the state of Missouri, I'm not sure about other states, but it's probably the same.

No, it doesn't bother me. Unwed parents are not a new phenomenon. It has been going on since the beginning of time. And it is not more common now then it was 300 years ago. It's just a new name for an old practice.

The reason "baby daddy" bothers me is the poor grammar. It's "baby's daddy," not "baby daddy." Anyone who uses that phrase, no matter what race they are, just sounds ignorant and stupid.

It is offensive to me, but those terms are so common that it is deemed acceptable to some people.

I hate that term because it just seems so dumb. And the smartest person can look so stupid when they say it. Child's father may sound more "formal" but at least it doesn't make someone sound stupid.

It doesn't "bother" me, but I would rather hear "the child's father."
