I think it's great, great work that you are doing- Single moms & Dad's aren't bums! We can't change who our partners are, or possibly know the reasons for why they left or what they were thinking.........it'd be nice to have mom (or dad) around, but the life of a child is life-changing. I'm 100% committed to ensuring that my children get everything they need out of life. Work.School.Kids- Love my babies!

sometimes things happen that, that wasn't planned it apart of life. maybe a couple married or not plan to have a baby but then something happens like a parent dies or just ditches on the family. don't blame it on the mother or the father, blame it on the parent that left. i am a child of a single parent and i know for one how difficult it is for my mom to support my brother and me. she has to work two jobs and doesnt recieve child support and it's not her fault my dad is an ass hole.

"but how would these poor girls manage without hand outs?" Simple. They wouldn;t get pregnant in the 1st place.

@shabba1966

no you werent harsh at all.

no one wants to tell it like it is. no one wants to see their sisters, aunts, daughters in that position... but when they are, tip toe around the situation. Women IN these situations not only dont want to take responsibility, but expect praise. why is it an "inspiring" story nowadays instead of a cautionary tale? because there are so many?

where is the serious message that this is not want you want for life. no one says it.

[shabba1966]

@therotaryrocket yeah you are right, I may have sounded a little harsh but I just wish that these women would at least think about what life the child is going to be born into before they embark on a baby quest. With all the contraceptions that are available these days it is hardly an excuse to say it was unplanned or an accident. And believe me when I say that I have great respect for the women who work hard to provide for their children without trying for a free ride from taxpayers.
