Today I read a post that really got a rise out of me.So I wanted to see if there were more people with this mind set,or were there more people who don't see it that way,like me?The Reply to the Question of Why is it a sin to have pre-marital sex? This person(who I'm not sure if I can name here)
had nerve enough to say "isn't it obvious? For the kids' sake!
Just what society doesn't need, more unloved children from such unions, running around with no guidance and turning into thugs!"
OMG,I was livid. How dare he! I know for a fact that there are a lot of single parents who have raised there children successfully and proudly. I know these women or men who are single parents who give love unconditional, they are very supportive parents I've ever known, they encourage their kids and praise them when they accomplish there pursuits and inspire them when they fail there pursuits and stand by them proudly! and don't let them quit, they give guidance and direction aimlessly,never saying they regret being a single parent.
Now, on the flip side , there are married couples who aren't so successful at producing a good society model,they are really rebellious, ungrateful and think only of themselves, and not very respectable , not to mention a lot of these kids kill their mother or father or both among other crimes.Now am I saying that this is the case in most? no, I'm not, but I am saying it's a very large percent, how do I come to this conclusion? I watch true crimes and Investigation Discovery and it's on the news all the time and see tons of these cases.And I know a few myself.How can I relate? I have 4 boys as a single parent and I loved my kids with every fiber of my being, I always supported them , putting them in sports, making sure they were being raised the way I will be proud of, we made it together and I felt that I was just as successful all by myself as a single parent, not married,and not one of them turned out to be as he said "Thugs". They respect me always and always tell me they are grateful for being such a good mother. They all went to college and now working hard in their careers, My first child is a doctor at his own practice, The second child is a veterinarian in England, the third child is in the army and is now a general and the 4th child is now studying for his Doctorates Degree to be a psychiatrist !! I am so very proud and all my hard work and effort paid off!! and they are a wonderful asset to society. Pretty good for a single parent family !! Don't ya think?
Now, I am really interested in the opinions or others?
