You don't have enough time for your kids if you work....you let a day care or school raise them instead. Unless there's a stay-at-home parent that can attend to them.
If you really believe this, you are sadly out of touch with the real world. I imagine you have many other problems in your life as well.
The day cares aren't raking in cash for nothing. While they have your kid, you're not involved in raising them. You are failing them...by not being there. Just like those Colombine teenagers, their parents failed them by spending far too much time at work.

Your argument is completely invalidated by all the healthy, functioning adults in the world who grew up with working parents. If we followed your logic, kids would be better off home-schooled. But kids need to be around other kids. They learn a lot of valuable social skills that way. And there's such a thing as spending too much time with your parents. Those kids have a hard time being on their own as adults.

What does any of this have to do with single moms and dating? why don't you start a thread about family values and stop hijacking this one?

Unfortunately, TK had an unpleasant childhood (from what I recall in some earlier posts). His inane ranting is, I think, a result of his lingering bitterness.
Most of us know better than to pay any attention to such rubbish.
I'm not saying all single moms are this way, but the majority of single moms have turned out this way. I went to grad school with a few single moms that were very hard working and didn't need to rely on someone else for help and I commend them. But don't kid yourself, if you think for one nanosecond I'll give up my education and training to be with some girl who has 1 or 2 kids with no education and can barely hold on to a job, you're out of your vulcan mind! Can't wait to hear the hatemail on this post, this ought to be fun to read later next week.
I was raised by single parents who were in their 20's when I was in grades school!!!!!!!
They had good jobs and finished college before I entered middle school (taking two or three classes a year, while already having an associate or military training). They gave us a nice life, and decided to remake their lives when the three of us (I have two other brothers) were already in our teenage years.
NOT ALL SINGLE PARENTS ARE ALIKE!!!!!!!!!!!
As for me, I learned from their mistake. I don't have kids, a long term relationship and next year, I'll go to William and Mary law School at the College of William and Mary.
yes but what you have been doing isn't tangential - it's hijacking, obviously.
It would be hijacking if I started talking about pizza. That has NOTHING to do with the thread. Obviously, single motherhood...and why aren't there too many single dads?...is tangential to the discussion at hand.
