i dont say "congratulations" to girls who have a child out of wedlock.
i have had about 10 friends who have done so in the last 4 years.
everyone gives them praise and says how wonderful it is.
i say nothing out of respect. but i certainly dont praise them for comitting child abuse.

    Well done. If you can't say something nice, then say nothing. I would not congratulate someone for something I disapprove of either.

    How is it child abuse to have a child out of wedlock? So are you saying it is abusing a child for two people who either don't want to get married, or do not believe in marriage, to have a baby..? That's a bit extreme I have to say.

    Child Abuse is IMO pretty uncalled for. Unless proven.
    True, the children are better off w/two parents. But at least the mothers didn't abort them.

    My brother has a 22 year old son.
    The kid dropped out of high school. He has been unable to hold down a job.
    The kid lives with his girlfriend. She just delivered their third child. She works 2 jobs, at burger joints.
    Now, my brother has a degree from Georgia Tech and works at an industry in South Carolina, makes $90K a year, he is a classy guy, just a crappy father, evidently.

    My brother was at my mom's house at Christmas, he was showing off photos of the grandkids on his cell phone.
    All my sisters, sisters in law etc were cooing and gurgling over the photos, all had smiles on their faces.

    I got my brother out on the back porch where nobody else could hear. I asked him, "Who is paying for all these illegitimate babies?"
    He said, "The government mostly. Food stamps, rent subsidies."

    I said, "Your son is no better than black welfare trash in downtown Atlanta."
    Honest to God, I thought he would swing on me, but I sometimes just can't help but speak the truth.

    Surprisingly, he said, "Yeah, you are pretty much right."

    So pay your income taxes folks, there are some white welfare trash in South Carolina to rival the blacks....
    ....and they are BLOOD RELATED TO ME!! AAAAHHHHHHGGGGGGGG!!!

    Well, maybe you disagree with me that intentionally having a child out of wedlock is a sin. I believe a child has the right to a married mother and a father to raise and any attempt otherwise by an egg or sperm donors is a sin.

    To clarrify, a "sperm donor" is often refered to in the liberal media as a "babys daddy" and an "egg donor" is sometimes called a "babys momma".

    My sentiments exactly! Why in the HE!! should the honest hard working people have to support illegitimate kids? The government should make a 2 kid limit, any more than that and you are on your own.

    My neice kept telling him to grow up...guess he finally did.
    But she wasn't marrying him, and paying out cash for a divorce
    until he did. I get happy when the kids got a good

    I belive what he is getting at is, parenting doesn't stop when your child reaches 18. They still need guidence into adulthood sometimes.

    Were that MY son, I can honestly say, he either would hate me, or he would listen and get off his duff. By acting as if his lifestyle is ok and normal, you perpetuate the problem. Sitting on your duff and collecting welfare is unacceptable in my book. My kids allready understand this.

    I was kept out of much of my oldest sons life, yea I fought for visitation and my right pay child support. But had no choice in things such as how much he was part of their family. She acted like she didnt want him, but no way could I have custody. Im still finding out things about his life growing up that amaze me that I never knew what was going on! I guese I wasnt that good of a parent either or I would have seen it. Anyway dont be so hard on you bro he may not be at fault.

    If your teenage daughter gets knocked up, you are, by definition a crappy parent. "Doing your best" means nothing if you are a failure. "Your best" is crappy. "Your best" sucks, big time.

    Jeez, Ossifer, I did my best not to get drunk and cause that wreck where those folks were killed. I'm not a crappy driver. I did my best. And I thought that gun was unloaded. I'm not a crappy gun owner. I did my best.

    You whiny crybabies who think "I did my best" is an excuse for failure must be Sarah Palin voters.

    Results are the only thing that counts. Excuses suck.

    My brother is condoning, and celebrating, the sociopathic behavior of his son.
    My brother ought to be condemning the behavior of his son.
    Due to irresponsible, immature punks like the 22 year old son, and to their enablers, like my brother, taxpayers are saddled with raising children who ought never to have been born.
    Like I told my brother, he should have given that kid a case of condoms for Christmas, three years ago.
    From what I said in my post the impartial reader can tell my brother is a crappy father.

    One can have naturally rotten children. I got lucky. My six are all outstanding people and positive contributors to society. Not my doing. It was just "inside' them.

    At the same time, I agree with Jame's points. My generation, and the next following, are the folks who LET our kids be screwed up,and thus, the rest of the society.

    So, say whatever you want - WE OWN THIS CRUDDY SITUATION, and if it ever gets fixed, our Kids and Grandkids are the ones that'll have to unscrew it.

    BS. Other than some rare genetic defects, your children are what YOU have made of them. Did you teach them, by example, to be loving and accepting, or did you show them racism and hatred? Did you show them how to act responsibly as you did, or did you teach them to blame their failures on others? Etc.

    You didn't "get lucky". Your children are what you made of them. Congratulations to you and your wife.

    Being judgemental is easy. Anyone can do it. it just takes a few facts.

    If you're a baseball player with a .005 hitting average, you're a crappy player.

    If you're a NASCAR driver who manages to hit the wall in nearly every race, you're a crappy driver.

    If you're a coach whose players are 1-19, you're a crappy coach.

    All you can do is try to set a good example and hope it takes. Your kids have a free will to do as they please. I have seen kids from great familys end up worthless. On the other hand I have seen kids from lousy familys turn out productive members of socity.

    you are a F'n moron. My wife and i wern't married with are first son. He wasnt planned and we had only been together for 4 months when we found out. We did move in together and did everything as a family. I went to every doctor appointment but we didnt want to rush out and get married just becouse of this. That would have been stupid. After being together for 3 years we did decide to get married and have been together for 10 years now including time not married. so according to you both my wife and i commited child abuse in having are first son out of wedlock. again you are a f'n moron.

    Sorry, but by definition, that does not make anyone a bad parent. "By definition" means that these are the things that define the term.

    According to you, a parent could do everything else wrong, but if the girl doesn't catch a pearl bullet in the pink secret, (I just coined that term by the way) then any other transgressions are not important, because the kid didn't pop out a puppy of her own. The parent could be a denigrating drug addict who teaches the girl to steal and shoot up, but as long as she's not an unwed teenage mom, then everything is Roses. I gotta disagree with you on this one

    well i am sure i will upset a few, but i dont congratulate them either, i usually say in a sarcastic tone, "well, good for you" the thing is that any more they dont practice "burf" control as someone said, because they know that their mommy and daddy, or the state will contribute to raising their child for them. getting knocked up as a teenager and sometimes preteen is the "in" thing to do. heck all their friends are doing it. i am sorry but because of some personal issues i have, i feel real strongly about parents and who should or should not be one. the one thing that comes to mind is that if you cannot raise a child, you shouldnt have a child. period. they arent meant to make you cool, or fit in, and they arent meant to be a raise in their dam welfare benifits.
    people now a days just make me sick, but that is the liberal communistic society that we are turning into.

    I agree with Robbie. Any woman (or couple) who has a child out of wedlock is either selfish or stupid, or both. And yes, I agree it is child abuse. It is absolutely impossible for a single mom to raise a kid all by herself. Family, friends, and neighbors are necessary -- but I'm the first to wonder "where the heck is the dad?"

    I have eleven grandchildren. One was conceived and born without benefit of having a dad around. It won't be easy, but I believe he will turn out okay. Yes, it is absolutely child abuse -- and the most selfish thing a parent can do to a kid. They should put it up for adoption (which is how we got five of the grandkids).

    NO, NO, NO, not what I meant! I have 6 kids and wouldn't trade them for anything! What I meant was mothers that have more and more babies so they can get more and more welfare! Good God, I thought we were talking about people who have kids that live on welfare! I couldn't care less how many kids people have...as long as they can support them. I was a bit lost when 'shootertutor' made his comment and then I read yours, bang!, the bell rang and I went back to read what I wrote. Now that I have explained myself, I hopefully can walk right past the stairs to the upper level of the gallows!(sp?)

    I agree with Robbie. Any woman (or couple) who has a child out of wedlock is either selfish or stupid, or both. And yes, I agree it is child abuse. It is absolutely impossible for a single mom to raise a kid all by herself. Family, friends, and neighbors are necessary -- but I'm the first to wonder "where the heck is the dad?"

    I have eleven grandchildren. One was conceived and born without benefit of having a dad around. It won't be easy, but I believe he will turn out okay. Yes, it is absolutely child abuse -- and the most selfish thing a parent can do to a kid. They should put it up for adoption (which is how we got five of the grandkids).


    Show me proof that two people who love each other and want to have a child, but DO NOT want to get married, is child abuse? How is that irresponsible, selfish, or stupid, for two very capable people who do not believe in marraige to have a baby? I fail to see your logic. Last I checked it we are able to choose what we believe in, and how we raise our children. As long as they take care of, support, and love their child (And each other) where is that wrong. Might be a big bad ugly 'SIN' in some peoples eyes, but so what? My wife and I did not get married until last year, after being together for 11 years. We had both of our children before we were married. Both planned. My job is good, I support my family, she is a stay at home mom. My children are FAR from abused. In fact we are DAMN good parents.

    No; beating, neglecting, giving drugs to, throwing children from cars is child abuse. Being in a loving, non-marital relationship and being good parents to a child is not.

    If they are happy about the child - I'd congratulate them.

    I couldn't care less if it's out of wedlock - nor do I consider it childabuse.

    And last time I checked, I had my head set on straight enough.

    Well, maybe you disagree with me that intentionally having a child out of wedlock is a sin. I believe a child has the right to a married mother and a father to raise and any attempt otherwise by an egg or sperm donors is a sin.

    To clarrify, a "sperm donor" is often refered to in the liberal media as a "baby daddy" and an "egg donor" is sometimes called a "baby momma".




    fixed it for ya

    I guess the question here is...

    Can a man be a good father without being married?

    As long as the kid's White, I'll congratulate my * off.

    We are losing the numbers game too badly to be picky.

    I hear the nuns used to slap the poop out of unwed mothers in the hospitals.
    These quaint old traditions are passing quickly.

    My brother has a 22 year old son.
    The kid dropped out of high school. He has been unable to hold down a job.
    The kid lives with his girlfriend. She just delivered their third child. She works 2 jobs, at burger joints.
    Now, my brother has a degree from Georgia Tech and works at an industry in South Carolina, makes $90K a year, he is a classy guy, just a crappy father, evidently.

    My brother was at my mom's house at Christmas, he was showing off photos of the grandkids on his cell phone.
    All my sisters, sisters in law etc were cooing and gurgling over the photos, all had smiles on their faces.

    I got my brother out on the back porch where nobody else could hear. I asked him, "Who is paying for all these illegitimate babies?"
    He said, "The government mostly. Food stamps, rent subsidies."

    I said, "Your son is no better than black welfare trash in downtown Atlanta."
    Honest to God, I thought he would swing on me, but I sometimes just can't help but speak the truth.

    Surprisingly, he said, "Yeah, you are pretty much right."

    So pay your income taxes folks, there are some white welfare trash in South Carolina to rival the blacks....
    ....and they are BLOOD RELATED TO ME!! AAAAHHHHHHGGGGGGGG!!!




    So tell us all how wonderful your kids are. Also for what reason do you call your brother a crappy father. Parents can only do their best. Even when you do your best your kids can still turn out all wrong. And it is only gonna get worst. Government interfering in our lives. Soon we will not be able to discipline our kids at all.
    +1

    Except that I do not care what the government says. I will disipline my kids anytime they do something wrong! Even with the threat of jail!

    Lucky for me I do have some pretty good kids and do not have to disipline very often and when I do it does not warrent a woppin (alot of this is because my kids know that I'm not afraid to give them that woppin[;)])

    All in all for being a single parent I think I am doing a fair job. I know that there are things that I could be better at but my kids are polite to others (except between themselves like brothers and sisters are) and I can trust them for the most part. And I know I can leave a loaded gun out around them and not have to worry about them touching it (unless I tell them too).
