I am not knocking anyone down. I am just asking.
This country is a little ridulous with the amount of broken families, children not knowing their father etc.
Why do people decide to bring forth a life in this world without considering the child's well being?

Why is this so acceptable?
2007-12-12 02:14:02 · update #1
Agreed.
It is [in my mind; opinion] due to society telling young men and women that sexuality outside of marriage is alright and appropriate. We tell our youth that pleasure in the here and now is all that should concern them and that the outcomes are not their own responsibility.
We have weakened the standing in the family structure and have forgotten the importance of morality and ethics.
If you take some action you must also take responsibility for that action.
If you practice immoral behavior [again based upon my understanding; cultural leanings of the region] then you must pay the penalty associated with it.
Let parents be parents; media be entertainment; government keep out of our faces.

I wish I knew. Sometimes I feel that it is a bit unfair to a child for them not to know their father (unless he is a serial killer or they are seriously benefitting from not knowing him)...People bring forth life in the world without consideing the child's well-being because they are selfish...like teenage girls who think their boyfriend's will love them more if they "bond" and have a baby...and ususally end up single within a year and living off the government.
I do think that if you are trying to help a child out by adoption, regardless of race, sex/sexual preferece, then that is great.
It annoys me to NO end to see women having children that they can't take care of themselves.
I believe that if you have a child, or want to, you should be prepared for anything (death of spouse, divorce). And be able to support a child on your own, without the help of a spouse or the government.

I used a condom with my boyfriend and got pregnant. We didn't get married until 3 years later. I had the baby, and we stayed together, but we didn't move our relationship faster than we were ready for just because we had a baby. My parents were divorced when i was 2, and I didn't want that to happen to me. I wanted to be certain about my marriage. We got married in March of 2007, and things are great. Our daughter is 2.5 years old, and i'm newly pregnant with our 2nd planned baby. Of course, when i got pregnant the first time, my family was upset, his family wanted us to get married, and my friends thought it was the end of the world. NOBODY thought it was acceptable, at least not the people in my circles!!! Things turned out for the best, though, and I think we're very lucky.
Please be sure of one thing, though. I would have raised my daughter alone if things hadn't worked out with her father. It isn't healthy for children to grow up in a home where its parents fight and don't have a healthy relationship. I think its better to grow up the child of a single parent than to grow up in a house with a bad father, or parents who fight all the time.

Well, that's kind of the problem. Most people AREN'T thinking when they put themselves in situations like that...
And of course, every situation is different. I'm not talking about happy couples that choose not to marry, but lovingly raise children together. I've literally known girls that just slept with a guy, accidentally got pregnant, and never talked to the guy again. I just can't understand why you wouldn't just protect yourself in a situation where you're just sleeping around with a guy for kicks...
Like i said, i can't comment on every situation, because they really can be so different with each person, but some of the cases are a little ridiculous...

Why do men get women pregnant and just walk away? The responsibility and blame goes both ways. And sometimes a woman may choose to have a baby on her own. As long as the child is financially supported, taken care of and loved, who are we to judge?

maybe they decided that since marriages have a 51% divorce rate, maybe they would just skip a step and not get married.
a marriage occurs in the heart, not on paper.
a better question; why should it be unacceptable? is a legal and enforceable union required for a good relationship or to ensure love between two people?

times are changing divorce rates are high and so on it just the norm nowadays, also effecting a childs up bringing is political correctness, for instance the corporal punishment is virtually wiped out, when my dad wooped me i learned my lesson when my mother punished me i sat and thought of better ways to do it so i wouldnt get caught

there are some women who would rather raise a child without the father.and who's to say that they aren't being well cared for. i think it is up to the mother what she wants to do.

It's not that they plan it that way or do it after a deliberation.Things happen and so would be consequences.
