Single Parenthood~And it WILL offend, too bad. *UPDATED*

[Radarma]

 

Just think about it, alright?

This is a man who does not sugar coat.

Like it, or not, folks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am adding a few more of his videos, some of which I believe show the softer side of the man. I hope you will take a look and see. You can meet his family in one of these vids, and you can hear him talk about how he IS a better parent than his parents were and that should be a goal we, as parents, share.

Good stuff.

 What was the point? We know that this is a problem.....he didn't propose a solution. He is just ranting....if he really felt that this was important why isn't he working with others to educate young people about the lose of a real family when they have children out of wedlock. I didn't care for this personally and I believe in marriage

That is just the point, MANY people, including some that post here, DO NOT think this is a problem.

 You're right. And it IS a huge problem. I am pretty disgusted with the attitude that women think its just great to have babies and not know who the "baby daddy" is or not even want to be married. They have no sense of responsibility, no values and no concern for their babies. They don't even get why its important to think of what is best for their babies. All they want is a guy to have sex with and a cute baby to haul around Target and show off to their other dimwitted friends.

This dude might not have the personality some of you prefer but he is right.

 Oh, and I'm not offended. He is right. WHY do people not seem to care about marriage anymore? Sure, its hard and you might have to stop having control over every single aspect of your life if you get married, you might have to cook something healthy that your husband likes ( not just stop at McDonads and get yourself a cheeseburger...) and not be able to go out clubbing any more and you have to stop sleeping around and all that selfish crap, but working at a marriage and lovng and respecting ONE person and staying faithful for your kids IS IMPORTANT. It is essential.

You are SO right! BUT this is not PC so therefore it must be wrong, right? Seems in this country speaking the truth is only ok if it doesn't offend anyone and that means the problems NEVER get fixed.

I love him and he is absolutely right about the races, blacks, Hispanics, then whites, in that order, succumbing to increasing rates of illegitimacy.  Asians have the fewest out of wedlock births.  This correlates exactly with school achievement, only in reverse, with Asians with the overall highest scores.

 No kidding!  Its not acceptable to be in favor of education or marriage here at CM. LOL.

I wish he would watch the road when he is driving lol

Omg. How simplistic are some of these answers?

Fuckin aye. Maybe the people born in the 50s where all those values were, didn't give the people born in the 80s examples of how to be good wives (cuz its the woman that makes a marriage fail, with her nasty ass corn bread). Maybe we've been hearing how we need to be more in control.

Maybe you don't know what you're talking about. Juuuuust maybe.

I don't have to watch this shit to know he is talking down to an entire subset of people he knows nothing about.

[lga1965]

 My kids of the 80's all have the same values as the 50's kids. Marriage, family, education, security and faithfulness. All our friends do, all the In-laws, their friends too. All our friends we met in the Air Force. ( but everyone had college educations and they were Officers) My grandkids and their friends have goals. Finish high school. College, then maybe marriage and then maybe after a while ,kids. In that order.All of them....I don't even KNOW any women who had kids out of wedlock.

Sorry.....

My husband and I have been discussing this topic a lot lately. Our conclusion is that many people aren't saddled with public shame when they choose to do something like have a child out of wedlock. It seems like for every person that stares shamefully at a person who's made a 'bad decision' there's 3 people supporting that person and his/her decision.

I'm 42. My mother was one of the liberated women from the 60's and 70's that took charge when she had to and stopped taking bullshit within her own marriage very early on. She made hard decisions that lead to her divorcing our father. She was the direct effect of what happens to children when parents like her own lead seemingly normal lives, meanwhile there was a whole cemetery in their closet full of funny uncles, affairs and addictions that no one ever talked about but everyone knew about.

We are her children and we were raised mostly by a single mother. We needed a father. We needed our mother to be attentive to our basic needs but instead she was working 3 jobs.

I'm a stay at home mom. I'm the opposite kind of parent that I was raised by. I'm often questioned by family members because I discuss things with my husband before making final decisions on things we feel are important. I'm scolded for not being more independent and for relying solely upon my husband and his salary. All the while other women within my family are who are single parents are being put on a pedestal like goddesses deserving of praise for doing it all on their own.

I realize I sound a bit jaded, trust me when I say I'm not. Society, well at least the one I live in has vilified marriages that are based on compromises. In my 'world' women are praised and looked up to for taking the reins and either leading their families singly, or by being the head of the household within the marriage.

Society changed. People changed. Many people decided to celebrate motherhood within a marriage and/or without a marriage.

Is he right? I feel he is. Still, that doesn't mean women who chose single motherhood are wrong.

I think he'd a rude old man ranting while driving and putting people in danger on the roads... Oh Well.

Rant away old man. No hide off my back.
