BBC website have a story on the increasing numbers of single parent households and it is being discussed on the Have Your Say forum. My mouth fell open when I read some postings and I thought I would share them here. Please note that as usual, there is no mention of the fathers.
"The problem here is that many girls don't have the morals or self-respect to keep their legs shut. This lack of morals and lack of respect then permiates into the world at large - which is what causes the problem.
The stark fact is that in 21st century britain, becoming a single parent is clearly the best career option open to a large number of teenage girls.
"Of course it matters. Social decay courtesy of poor parenting and a weak Government.
If you are not in a committed relationship, don't have children.
If you are intent on being a single parent career sponger, don't have children as an economy enhancer.
I'm fed up with paying for other peoples social mistakes. Come on Britain!!"
