well my parents been married for 18 years...and i have many friends who are envious of that...because their daddy isn't around to go to the museum with them, they left them with nothing and now both the mom and the child gotta work to pay the bills...i know that i lucked up and i got parents who really care about me...they tell me No for a reason...its plenny kids doing whatever they want....my mom always tells me when she was in HS all the kids who was doing whatever are the ones who on the side of the street now...but i think what it is is that my mother grew up in a divorced home and my father did grow up in the sam kinda enviroment...but when they did marry they really wanted to be the best spouses they could be...they already had my brother so if anything they wanted my dad around no matter what happens
i am surprised that the kids with married parents outnumber those of us who have divorced parents.
thats good though, I thought it would be the other way around. I guess there is some hope for the black family yet.......
Well my parents are divorced and both have remarried. Unfortunately, my parents divorced cause they were young and my father had yet to sow his wild oats. However, he has always paid child support and visited whenever he was in town (he was active duty in the air force until a few years ago). I have been lucky to have been blessed with a stepfather that has been more of a father to me than my real dad. Just because two people are married doesn't mean they are the best suited to raise children. An unhappy married couple is not a good thing for any child. A child is best in a loving home, and if that means a single parent home so be it. My mom raised by for many years before she met my stepfather and I appreciate her more than any of my friends appreciate their married mothers. I've learned strength, wisdom, patience, etc. from seeing her do any and everything without one complaint. It is sad for some children never having known a parent or being abandoned by a parent, but if that parent wants to leave he/she shouldn't be around anyway. A child needs to be surounded by love, not resentment.
Sorry so long...had to let it out
