I'm sorry, but I was just over on the Young Moms Board, and there was a girl who is in her 20s, has a child and a boyfriend who is in his 30s (not her baby's father!). He has a set of twoin to his ex-wife and a 3 month old to his ex-girlfriend, and she wants him to have another child--with her!

Perhaps I'm going to upset some people when I say this, and for that, I apologize--but what happened to the idea of getting married and THEN having children??? Too many people just have sex and don't care about the consequences. When one is going to sleep with somebody, he/she should ask him/herself: Is this a person I would want to parent my child??? Children are innocent and don't ask to be born into broken homes -- it just makes me sad for the children. Some children win the Parent Lottery--happy, loving homes with 2 parents who adore them....and others, are dealt such a bad hand. It makes me sad for them!

A friend of mine is pregnant--no job, no insurance--which means we're paying for her prenatal care...and she has the nerve to complain about the poor service she receives at the clinic. Really??? Get a job and some insurance.

Another girl i know has a one year old.......and hasn't worked since 2007! She was in school, but dropped out once she had the baby because she didn't have time to study--which i COMPLETELY understand--however, her child is now 15 months old--and she has finished school, but yet hasn't even started to look for a job. Says she has no $$, but yet, is going skydiving this upcoming weekend....$175! Needs a sitter...wow

I'm sorry--this wasn't my intent, but i must say, I feel better! I'm a teacher and have to put my child in daycare because my husband and I both need to work in order to survive. Of the 24 students in my class last year, only 8 had both parents...and of the remaining 16, only 4 of them had a parent who had a job....SERIOUSLY??? What happened to values, morals, and family...and working hard in life?

Don't feel bad, I completely agree. We need to re-establish traditional family values again. I feel that everything starts with the family, if we could fix the families across America, we could fix our country.

OH GOSH !! Don't get me started about those who feels entitled and not work hard to better themselves.

There are few good men (and women) out there that believes in 'work hard and get far' point of view. We just have to educate our 'little' kids before it's too late.

I feel for you, Wendy. My sister was in the same boat. She was a battered wife and she worked hard at her job and get home to set up dinner. Her ex is a lazy bum, who complains that the govt' should pay him more. He is a no good SOB. Their two grown up kids saw their father's true color and kept themselves away from him. I am proud of my sister to get out of that 10 yr marriage, she is much happier and found a guy who is 3 times better.

My grandmother was right. Follow your 'brain' and not your 'heart'.

I have been working hard at home trying to run a business and living with my husband for 13 years. However I have no insurance and have been living with abuse for all this time. Only recently have I begun to put my life back together and try to get a job outside the home and it is hard. I have a teaching degree and still cannot find work. I have 2 children and a husband who only this year has decided to work after several years of only working sporadically. I have tried to get him to "man-up" but to no avail. Most of this time I was doing all myself.

There is an entitlement mentality in our society these days. If they can't have what they want right away they take it or throw a fit like a two year old. Not a willingness to work and earn a living and then live within their means. I learned my lesson the hard way with this man, but some will never learn.

Long gone the true Marriage/Family values. It's sad but many of us still believe/follows the values and educate our kids. But we cannot do it by ourselves, there are many who allows their offsprings to corrupt the coming-out young people.

Not too long ago, I showed my son's girlfriend (age 18) the movie 'Gidget'. She loved the movie and replied 'wow, you don't see that kind of gentlemanly behavior now a days. I totally agree with her on that. She even liked how the parents react, said it showed how much they love Gidget.

Thank god that my son still shows some respect and follows some of the values. Can't say about SEX but at least he knows the safety of using condoms. He does believe in 'able to support oneself BEFORE getting married".

You have every right to VENT...I do it all the time.
