I was on Facebook and there was a post about same sex marriage obviously the comments below were controversial and I added my opinion. Then as I'm reading someone goes on to say that same sex marriage is the least of our worries and that we should be bashing single mothers BC "they choose to lay on their backs and get pregnant" oh man I went off. How dare someone say something like that. He basically said every single mother is non working trash who lives off.of the government. Uhh screw you *****. My mother was a single mother of 4 and we did not live with anylnes help. She worked a good job and took care of us. Ohhh!!! Sorry I'm just so angry that people can be so small minded! I have my husband around but I know there are plenty of women on here who can't be so lucky as to have a strong supportive male. And in a lot of cases of single moms no dad is better than the real dad. Sorry so long I'm just fuming

I do see women get sucked in on soley relying on a man and as unfortunate as it can be... a lot of those women wake up and realize it once they find their inner strength and leave (if its a bad situation). But there are way more single mothers or fathers because the other parent is not around or no good. OR here's a realistic scenario.... people grow apart and split up and do joint parenting.

I am on some assistance as well there is nothing wrong with needing help it's suppose to be used as a stepping stone not to stay on it forever , !!!! Heath care for a pregnant woman is expensive I am thankful for Medicaid , and I receive wic too I am not ashamed and not sitting on the pitty pot I'm just simply saying men should take care of their responsibilities  how could a man just walk away from something you created and then talk bad about the mom because shes on assistance but the man is not doing anything to help the situation

What does it matter if a woman chooses to get pregnant or not .. Having a child is a beautiful thing .. In my relationship we both depend on each other because we are family. We depend on each other to make it work. It's not called being needy . It's called doing your part . Single moms don't have it easy that's for sure and raising a child isn't easy work . Sometimes child care to work is just not affordable . Don't be judgemental .. We all do our best with what we have and can do . Not to mention single moms don't always have friends or family to rely on.

So annoying!! I'm a single mom and working two jobs right now and she is not even here!!! And I am on a government funded insurance calles medi cal that pays for everything but the way I look at it is this... I am working my butt off and paying taxes so technically I am paying my own damn insurance!! Lol

[GordonBaby]

Yes I agree that women rely on men a tad too much but that doesn't mean that said women can't or won't do what they have to do to make it work as a single parent. Women don't ask to deal with dead beats unless that's what they except and settle for. In my case I was lied to very well and when it all came to a head....he had to go and as of then and now he is a complete waste of life. But I never relied on anyone but me because my YOUNG SINGLE mother raised me well enough to know that no one can provide for you but you.

The problem is most women are allowing this behavior and that's how they become single parents. They make excuses due to 'love' of the guy. They have to rely on assistance BC the guy they relied on left them. Too many women are needy. I agree everyone needs help, it's hard doing it alone, but count on family and friends, not a guy. I have mixed feelings on this issue, but women do choose to have a baby everytime they have sex unless it was unwanted sex. So, the guy may have been a jackhole, but he is sort of right.

Oh I get a little money for food ($16) a month and I am on WIC AND I'm.currently laid off until November... But I have a career and a roof over my head and have worked hard for 12yrs to get where I am. I felt.like ****.having to apply.for assistance but it won't.be.like that for long and I keep that.in my head and heart.

[RoopStetter]

Even moms that do need government assistance most of them are still trying and just barely scraping by. I think men should be more appreciative of the women who are raising their future generations and trying to fix a mans "mistake" and stop judging and name calling

[GordonBaby]

No not all... but there is a good hAndful of women who are the cause of that awful stereotype. I see it more often than not. I'm just happy to see the strong hard working independent mommy doing the damn thing to make sure everything works out : )

[shaylorae]

Nobody plans on being a single mother !!!!!  A mother has to take care of her child she can't just walk away it's the men who just walks away and makes us single mothers , I will be a single mother but I also work and I'm in school and will continue to do so well after my baby gets here , all single mothers are not lazy bums looking for handouts !!!!!

[GordonBaby]

Agreed... but trying to explain things like that to ill informed people is.beating a deAd horse.

[RoopStetter]

I know. And why don't they bash the p.o.s. fathers that choose to lay with these women and don't take responsibility for their actions. Grrr... some women need to keep it in their pants so to speak but most women do not CHOOSE to be single mothers. Horrible men who were not raised properly choose to leave women pregnant and alone

[chay711]

Amen!! Guys don't like to take responsibility for their actions....enough said!

[GordonBaby]

Lol...9 out of 10 times a woman is single BECAUSE of a man. It would be a man to say some **** like that. Its the women who lay on their back and keep pumping out children when they know they are too lazy to work for a living and think its okay to collect off of a child that is the problem. Not just round about single mothers.
