Ladies,
Please do not take this in the wrong way. I am just saying this from a teacher's point of view. By the way, my daughter is having our first grandchild in August. :) I just have a ? with all the women trying to bring a child in this world with a boyfriend instead of a husband. You can call me old-fashioned, but I have seen for 25 years the negative influence that a single parent can have for children. I know...divorce is at an all time high and marriage will not signal a happy home. But for the life of me, I cannot understand why the boyfriends will not make a committment. If you are committed to make a baby so much, why not give the child your name, thus, marriage? Just my opinion. I am not downplaying anyone's love for each other. I just see the outcomes that can come later on in school.
