Do you believe all unmarried mothers to be should be checked by the Government to make sure they are good moms
Answer:
Yeah, because the sex offender thing has worked out so well. There are no more sex crimes, so your idea will mean there will be no more bad single Mom's. GREAT LOGIC. I am happily married, but have plenty of single mom friends. Some are not the greatest (and I try to help them see that) and some are AMAZING. Who are you or I to assume we know what makes a good parent?? I did not realize there was a standard. Waste your energy and time taking up a cause that would do some good for society, instead of spewing vicious hateful garbage. You are no batter than the trash you are creating.
No because I know many married mothers that are not as good as unmarried mothers. I know alot of unmarried moms that are great moms.
Bad mothers married or unmarried should lose their children if there is neglect or abuse end of story.
No. All the fathers of the children to these unmarried mothers should be checked by the Government and put in jail if not paying child support.
What makes you think unmarried mothers are bad mothers? I know plenty of married women who are lousy mothers.
While I think many mothers are not fit parents I trust the government even less.
I think government intervention hurts as many children as it helps. This is a very bad idea. Besides, why would you restrict it to unmarried mothers--any parent could be a bad one. Let's keep the government out of family matters unless things are so bad the family needs the government to solve things.
What?! Everyone parents differently. The government has no business in how we raise children. What is the difference if they are unmarried or divorced or married with a husband who does ****?
people say there isn't such a thing as a stupid question, but i officially no longer believe in that now...thanks
Hell no... All mothers should be assumed to be good mothers until they do something that would make them bad mothers. there are millions of wonderful mothers out there and only a hand full of bad ones. should we treat everyone like they are worthless until they prove they are in fact worth something. hell no you should treat everyone as if they are worth being treated like a human being until such time that they prove that they are a piece of crap.
No.
Whether or not someone is a bad mother has nothing to do with whether or not they're married.
No I don't. What I have learned is that being an unmarried mother doesn't make that woman a bad mother. I have seen married mothers who were terrible mothers. I have a friend who works in child services and she says it has to do with the maturity of the mother not whether she's married. What I do think we should do is keep an eye on women who are on welfare and limit how many kids they have.
If you are going to run a scheme like this, it should be all women- what makes a woman different just because she has a ring on her finger?
I'm not married, but I am a fantastic mother, much to the amazement of myself and all who know me.
There are many abused and neglected children in homes where parents are married- don't single out the unwed ones!
What does MARRIAGE or Non-marriage have to do with being a good parent?
Either parent can be good or bad, but the most important point to remember (having come from a rough childhood myself) is that parents are people too.. even if they are 'bad'.. you'll figure out one day that they did the best they could and being upset about it hurts you, not them.
As for parenting classes for ALL parents.. especially first timers.. I think that it should be common sense.. not a law. My 2 copper
No, the government should stay out of the private lives of their citizens unless the particular citizen is a danger to society.
Not unless you like living in a communist society.
How about all those deatbeat dads? How do you think a single mother becomes single? Jack@ss.
Maybe all guys should be checked to make sure they are respondsible enough to have sex, and the ones that aren't should have their privates taken away?
No. Check them out only when issues arise, ie; abuse, alcoholism, drug addictions, etc.
I do think that women who are consistently living off the system and pumping out a new kid with a different father every other year needs to have her tubes tied. OR medicaid needs to be cut off on to continually paying for her to have children. I believe there should be a cap on how much welfare a person can receive.
No.
Why does it matter if we are married or not?? I am an unmarried single mother and my daughter is well taken care of without a father! This is by far the dumbest question I have seen yet!
I think that all parents should be evaluated. Not just the moms. There is too much emphasis on the mother. They normally get custody, they get support from the government, they get child support. As soon as a woman finds out that they are pregnant, they are the first to say 'hey, it takes two to make a baby!' but then when the relationship is ending, they are also the first to say 'hey, im the mom. i deserve custody!' since when does having breasts and a vagina make someone a better parent? that's kinda like saying 'I'm smarter than you because i have a penis.'
That's a decent question open to alto of debate but don't crucify him
something should be done.
Just because a woman is married doesn't make them a better mother. I know a few unwed mothers who are great, loving mothers. I know some married women who should never have conceived. But that's only my opinion. Who knows what God has in store for those children. I grew up in a household where dad worked all the time and my mom was depressed all the time. She never spent any time with us kids, she never went to any of our plays/PTA meetings/ and for me Choir Concerts. She done what little she could get by with and made me and my 2 older brothers do everything else. I never remember a book being read to me, I don't remember her getting down with me in the floor and playing with me. You know what I remember? I remember being told all the time to shut up and get out of her face. She's a married woman, does that make her a better mother? I don't think so. One thing I learned from her is how NOT to be a mother. I learned that I want to treat my kids better than she ever treated us. I get down and play with my kids every chance that I can, I take them to the park and spend as much time as I can with them. Yes I am married, so all that I am trying to get across to you is that marital status doesn't have anything to do with parenting skills.
Absolutley not! My mother got divorced from my father when I was 3. She was the best mother I could have and did everything she could for us. We may not have had a lot of money but she did what she could and did everything for us mentally!
My father was a pice of work though! He got bitter with everyone because my mom left him!
I know so many single mothers who are amazing parents. It may suprise you but, there are also married couples that are bad parents! Just because a dad isn't around doesn't mean that the mother cannot hadle being a mother!
No! What makes the married mothers better than single moms? It all depends how the mother raises their child. Their are married mothers that are not good moms as well. I'm a single mother raising up my son by myself because the father doesn't want to be part of his life. I'm doing a damn good job with my little one without him.
No...there are plenty of married mothers out there that are bad mothers. I am unmarried and I am a great mother to my son.
