The idea that only daughters of working mothers get pregnant is blatantly false. What is new is the high percentage who do get pregnant. What is really stupid and acting like an ostrich on the subject -are those who insist there can't possibly be any correlation with the degradation and increased crassness of our society in general -one that celebrates and admires the most base and crude among us and ridicules those who do not wallow in it as well, society's emphasis on "if it feels good, do it", the increasing sexualization of children, TV shows and movies with not only gratuitous sex but engaging in unprotected sex that never has any consequences of disease or pregnancy, if a movie does involve a teen pregnancy it is invariably a comedy anymore -and public schools that openly say it is unrealistic to expect teens to postpone sex until mature enough to handle the consequences without needing mommy and daddy to help deal with it. We have a society that in every way contradicts the message they receive from their parents. A teen is most susceptible to that message at the very time teens are most likely to want to rebel against their parents anyway.
Past generations managed to do it better -but then, they didn't have to deal with a society that contradicted the message they received from their parents either -and instead reinforced it. So yeah, parents in every financial bracket, whether the mother works or not, whether a single parent household or two - are dealing with the fact their teen daughter finds herself pregnant. And it shouldn't be a big surprise to people given what parents are up against from their own society.
If you read the original post you will see I never said that. You are talking about an non issue that was not brought up on this post. Like I said earlier I was raised by a single mom that had 3 kids and none of us had our own kids before we were 22 so you are dragging a topic into the forum that should have never been her. I also replied to (Del) the original poster that called me out and she interpreted that I said that. If you think your issue is a problem then create a post. I wont argue it with you because I am on your side and I DONT THINK THAT ONLY DAUGHTERS OF MOTHERS WHO WORK ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO GET PREGNANT so yes you are right, yes its bullshit and lets move on. Stop trying to twist my words, or show me where I said "ONLY DAUGHTERS OF MOTHERS WHO WORK ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO GET PREGNANT" please show me the quote or shut up about it.
