Why shouldn't being a single parent be a badge of honor?I don't think anyone should be "shamed." sometimes people have to make the most out of a bad situation, and there's no reason to shame them for that.
still, i cringe when i hear people wearing being a single parent as a badge of honor.
what's jeb's quote should tell us, more than anything, was that he was looking to ride the "moral-majority" and "family values" tide at the time.
You stuck by your parental responsibilities....the other person didn't
You have twice the responsibilities of a married couple
I think a child should have both parents. You really drop the ball for the kid by getting pregnant without being in a stable relationship.
You have no control over what the other parent does or how he behaves after you get pregnant
That is no reason for you to be shamed
if you get married first there is a good chance he's going to stick around. The woman has control over that.
