It would be nice also if women made better dating decisions and selections. People like to cry that the father is always leaving the home, but in most cases these women are having children in the street, the father was never in the home. 'And thus the cycle begins, the mother clings to victim-hood, blames all her problems on men and never addresses her own recklessness, which is then passed on to the daughter. Not only is the daughter now fatherless, but she gets constant misguided dating advice from an unstable mother.
Well, perhaps, though that's not the situation in all cases. In any event, life has a way of interfering with that stuff. I also disagree with calling the mother "unstable", a "victim", etc.
Perhaps I did screw up my initial post. The baptism seems sad to me. The beginning of a cycle of poverty, abuse, evictions, CPS intervention.
I think these two kids should have focused on growing up themselves, not raising a child while a child.
You really should read and think about this beautiful post, oh CHRISTIAN!

Ideally they will receive a less judgmental welcome from others in the congregation and will find the support, helping hands and positive role models they will need to raise their child in these difficult times.
Perhaps their involvement in church will encourage them to get married.
Perhaps they had/have already planned to do so and like so many others, Mary included, found that God had a different plan for their lives.
Perhaps, and this would be really sad, there will be too many people like yourself who will make them feel unwelcome and cause them to turn away from their faith due to the example you set, sending them off to the proverbial stable because you could find no room in your 'inn.'
Recall these words:
"But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

It is a very serious problem, in this country.
And it transcends race.
I am often disgusted by many of my gender. I have two handsome, smart little boys (5 and 7 years old) and could never abandon them emotionally, physically or financially; no matter what occurred between us.
Last July, a good friend of ours with three boys ( 11, 13 and 16 years old), her husband, abandoned the family and took off to Florida. He never discussed it with her, never told he was about to pull a weasel slime off and simply slimed his slimey ass down to Florida and left the family without the major bread winner of the home.
How the **** does a so-called "man" do that to his family?!?!?!
It's going to be a year since he slimed his way out of their lives and he's barely paid any child support (a pathetic $400.00 in the last 11 months) and he hardly ever calls to speak to the boys. nevermind seeing them.
The wheels of justice (for enforcing child support) are pathetically slow and painfull. She's working two jobs, plus picking up odd jobs to make ends meet. She's strugglinmg to keep them afloat.
He's down in Florida living in a Trailer, barely working, barely communicating with her and the boys and probably having himself a great time.
Wait till the the Child Support starts being enforced, he'll get what's coming to him.
But make no mistake, there are a lot of women who are just as bad. Increasingly so.
I'd be more worried about whether my grandchild is being raised by people who are committed to his well being than whether they have rings on their fingers.
you may be right, I hope so. to me every child needs a mommy and a daddy that love them and love each other enough to marry. I don't care if two people live together if there are no kids involved. This does not mean I don't think you can be a good parent and be a single parent or 2 gays being parents: I am talking about the ideal situation. Will he care as he gets older, I don't know, only time will tell.
I was raised Catholic and my family is extremely religious but they don't look down on me for having a child without being married at all. They love my boyfriend as if he were part of the family and they are happy I finally found someone who isn't try to choke me in the middle of the night as I sleep.
Some Christians are very judgemental. I know several of them....and they think they are perfect and everyone else is below them. Makes me sick.
and I have seen more non Christains and libs being judgemental than Christians. The Christians that are judgemental come from the extreme right, fundamental religions. This is not all Christians.
I'm not okay with people having kids at any time or for any reason.
Marriage is only a piece of paper, it's not anything special. Don't 50% of marriages end in divorce?
