Single Parenting = Child Abuse

[Eisa]

Because married couples never abuse their children, right?

Didn't you know? Every single case of married couples abusing a child was actually *Dramatic gasp* a GAY! Or a minority couple, and they don't matter anyway.

/sarcasm.

Now he's doubling down and saying women are trained to lie about pregnancy now too. >.>

Colmes: You think women choose to be single moms…

Grothman: Oh absolutely

Colmes: You think women want to have homes without fathers? You think women look to the opportunity to have to raise kids and not be able to get work because they have to stay home and take care of the kids. Women want to do this?

Grothman: I think a lot of women are adopting the single motherhood lifestyle because the government creates a situation in which it is almost preferred.

Yeah, being a poor single mother is fucking awesome. I mean it was fucking paradise on Earth for my mom when I was growing up. She totally didn't have to work two jobs and put her whole life on hold or anything to keep a roof over our head. >.>

Agreed. My own mother worked as a nurse's assistant during the day and a night awake counselor in a school for troubled children for the better part of seven years, paid child support for my four younger brothers while they were living with their father in another state, and barely had enough time to sleep much less get all of the other necessary crap done like shopping and paying bills.

Oh and we didn't have a car until I was a sophomore in high school, so add walking long distances to the grocery store because the one nearest to us went out of business.

Single mother life was a breeze for her.

The Casti Combuii or whatever makes me fucking sick.

What's next will they explain that unless you have chained a man to a plow and whipped him to work that your enslaving him so you should set him free by making him what the secular world calls a slave?

I can only see this guys' point to a very small point.

There ARE quite a few young girls who can see the benefits of government assistance. Not that any woman chooses to have no father for her kids, but that they do see the benefits of being a single mother dependent on the government, being unmarried and having more and more kids getting more money.

But the reality is, I don't think ANYONE ever imagined a life with their kids without an active father (or mother, to the single dads). I don't think anyone really actually hopes for that or wants that. I don't think anyone ever actually aims for that to happen. That's unrealistic and small minded to think that way.

You haven't met my exwife.

The previous sentence was not a joke.

My aunt is just one such person. She has three kids, neither of the fathers were around long enough to see their first-born's second birthday. She's a classic man-hater and actually refused to let her second ex pay anything to support his kids so that she could claim hardship and get sympathy for having to get by on her own. When the two younger kids had a chance to get in touch with their father, it was discovered what a hateful, lying bitch she was for all those years.

So if you're single and/or unmarried = child abuse.

Getting into this a bit late...but would they add my neighbor's situation into that equation? That is, my next door neighbor is a single mother. She's now a single mother...because her husband killed himself last year Rumors had it that he and his wife were getting separated...and he couldn't deal with it. I know that he did have some mental issues--depression, for one. Shame then, that he was such a nice guy

But, I have a problem with labeling his widow as "abusive." Of the 6 years I've lived next door, I've heard no fighting; the kids aren't dirty; they're happy; there's no abuse going on over there.

Saw another article on this...

children should only be raised by two married biological parents

Errr....what happens if the father dies? You can't take the kid away because then they definitely aren't being raised by a biological family.... And of course if both parents die....

It would seem that this is about single parenting but they decided to throw some bits in to prevent gay parents, not thinking about how it backed it all up in the a corner. I mean seriously, other than killing the kid, what are you supposed to do under that logic?

This is crazy for either of the reasons though really.

I have heard of some women who are only with a guy to get preggers then never tell him/call him/ speak to him. Im sure its rare in the grand scheme of things.
