Why do people still expect you to be married in order to have kids? This isnt the 1950s

@Doomflower Sad to say, but the Earth, and other livings things would be better off without us.

@Underconstruction cause people think it's the 50s still

@Keepitsimple my sis is going through this crap right now. She's divorced and seeking full custody of the kids, because he's a drunk.she's filled out all the proper paperwork to get child support. He will end up in jail!

Exactly it’s time consuming but worth it and all they need is a place of employment or home address and they round them up. You do get the money eventually. I hope she stays strong. @SW-User

@Keepitsimple she's very strong. Things will work in favor.

@chrisCA that too

And we’ve also come a long way. It still doesn’t mean a child shouldn’t have and doesn’t deserve to have 2 parents.@seashells

@seashells you have to remember the 50s was the start of the young era of the Civil Rights movement for blacks - such as Brown V. Board of Education. Women did stay home and have kids because the father or the man of the house made enough money to support a family - today cant do that. So saying a woman was treated like shit by letting her stay home and not have to go to work is pretty sweet - I think you are off with the amount of babies they had by 897

Exactly but less chance with two parents, and a child needs both parents daily.@seashells

@Keepitsimple no they dont. I only had one parent

So did I.@seashells

@Nighttalker I dont make much so I'm going to have to go the welfare route. After all that's how I grew up.

@seashells if you need it to get you on your feet, that’s great use it. But don’t make it a way of life because you were raised on it. Get an education, learn a trade show your kid what success is!

@Greenbare the kids father doesnt care

@seashells But that's what society expects and in most cases of legal marriage, bound the man to take care of family.
