Well, kids and single women are having babies and living off of the
system. They get money to raise the baby, money off of rent, food stamps,
and other things they may be eligible for. It is a shame. I think
those people should be forced to give their babies up for adoption or after
having a couple they should. So many of these women have 4,5 or more
kids. I know a woman from back home that has 7 and doesn't work because
she gets so much help.

Aahh,
leaving it all up to the female! ? Being the devils' advocate
here.
NOT having sex is the best form of birth control as us
'oldies but goodies'
know. We also know all about
precautions. But tell that to two 15 year
olds. Obviously
what is out there is not working. Parents do not take the
time to
keep track of their kids, there is no discipline, no routine for
young
kids--such as a bedtime, meals cooked "at home", no positive
extra
activities after school. Parents do not care.
My son has a
child out of wedlock now after shacking up for 2-3 years with a
much
younger girl.
"Her" parents let an 18 year old girl move out of the
house, for the "first"
time, in with a guy 6 years older than she
was. Three years later as they
were planning on going their own
ways, she comes up pregnant. I have met
her. She has
ambition, is taking college courses mostly on line now, but
does go to a
claqss on campus. When she was here a couple of years ago--my
son
lives 2c states away--she came right out and said she wanted kids and
a
house, picket fence etc. My son has been a cook in a Country
Kitchen for 4
years and not making enough money to take care of himself
much less a child!
They have since moved closer to the colleges and he
has a better job, but is
still a cook at a bar/grill and has no idea what
to do as a career. They
are taking advantage of the "single mother"
thing for school funds and baby
food and medical care for the baby.
Her parents have bought most of all the
toys and baby bed/play pen and
all the newer things available for babies
these days. I don't know
what my son's father has done, don't want to know.
I cannot afford hardly
anything. They did bring him down here for me to
see, I paid for
gas, they stayed at my mother's. He is a doll! But that
does
not undo the deed. It has given my son a kick in the behind as to
what
it takes to support a family, but as long as she recieves money and
the baby
gets medical care, he is not too concerned. Somehow they
have worked out a
schedule where they do not need daycare.
Well so
much for venting and a little bit of opinion.
take care,

Very true about trying to tell a couple of 15year olds about
protection!!! Over here in the UK, in my area there's a new scheme
running about trying to tell the 13-16yr olds the safetys of having sex.
The kids are given virtual babies to look after on weekends, and the babies do
everything that a real baby would do apart from move. There is a mini
computer inside the babies to tell the experts how well they've done. It
moniters things like how many times the head was able to fall backwards, how
long it took for the parent to stop the baby crying, weather it was fed/nappy
changed etc. They are a fantastic idea, and the amount of kids that's
decided that they now don't want kids at all! It's just a shame that
they aren't taught pratically about STI's and the consequences of them.
They are probably more dangerous that falling pregnant! It would
probably help if they were taught the financial side of having a baby as
well. Are there any schemes like that running in the states?
