Best Baby Advice to Singles

Times have changed. Back in the old days, children were taught to abstain from sex until marriage. Now, they are given birth control pills at a young age and told to be careful. Groups of teenage girls now form pacts to become unwed mothers at the same time. These same teens sought homeless men to father their child.

Today's society rewards children for their sexual promiscuity. The Social Welfare system provides food stamps, daycare services, and housing as a reward. Some single women seek opportunities to have babies so they can receive these rewards. Children are not suffering any consequences for their actions. They show little or no regrets and don't think they have made a mistake. Some may say "I got over". Some may even show less appreciation for the services provided by the Welfare system and sell the food stamps intended to buy food for the children.

Men sometimes prey on these single women. The man gladly sells the food stamps and takes the cash. Men seek a single woman with subsidized housing and food stamps. This is as an opportunity for them to pay little or no rent. These men are typically unemployed or have a poor work record. Keeping a job and maintaining the household are not important issues for this man. Females allow these conditions to exist.

Living together, out of wedlock, has occurred for many generations. Making no demands and allowing live-in relationships to exist helps create irresponsible males and females. It does not teach the proper values to children. The children will often grow up and mimic what they've seen at home. Marriage has become second place and "shacking" has become the preferred way of life for some people.

The parents are equally as guilty. They pay for prenatal care, hospitalization, and any other expenses associated with having a baby. The parents often assume the role of mother. They provide food, shelter, and clothing. When parents take this responsibility and don't make their children pay, it authorizes the child to make the same mistake.

More and more women are giving the baby to the man. Men seemingly get greater sympathy and assistance from their parents. The man's mother, often single themselves, usually assumes the role of raising the child. The parents provide food, shelter, and clothing without demanding the son make a financial contribution.

Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people live like this everyday. Barack Obama has seen it and has told the men to stand up and be a man. Fathers need to become accountable for their actions and take a positive role in raising their children. Mothers need to make a better assessment of the men they allow to make their baby.
