BLAH. Jennifer Anniston couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. Bill O' is irritating to me,too. So I couldn't care less what either of them have to say!
From experience (from when I was little) and observing (friends and family) I think that if mom stays at home all day the kids respect her less. How sad is that? I couldn't tolerate my son disrespecting me. I would go postal.
Really??? Huh I am a SAHM with 2 sons and neither disrespect me. Being home or not does not create or remove respect. It is how the mother raises her children.
Yeah, it's much better to have some redneck couple slap their kid around, while forcing the child to believe in religious fairy tales..
Or some gangster thug wearing bling, slapping his ho around in front of the kids, while teaching them to believe in government handouts for survival....
having two parents doesn't mean that they have to be together to both be good supportive parents.
a divorce from your spouse is not a divorce from your kids.
it is possible to be a mother who is single.. but her ex husband plays an active role in raising the kids, paying for costs, and tending to their needs. that's TWO parents..
of course what happens is.. when the guy leaves the kid's mother.. he leaves the kids behind as well.. and then we as a society point the finger at the single mom.
I don't think being a single mother should be "glamorized" but we have to deal with the reality that it does happen and there are many single mothers doing an awesome job. It is ideal to have a loving two parent home? IMO yes but I would rather see a child in a single parent loving home then on a two parent abusive one.

I wasn't gunning directly at you, as I've never seen you parent before. I specifically said from what I've personally seen from my friends and family. I do agree though that it is how the mother, father, grandparents, etc. raise the kids.

I agree. But I also disagree that it's OK to PURPOSELY create a single-parent household. Seems rather selfish to me.

This is my situation - my ex and I have joint custody. One week on, one week off. We both pay for doctor visits, school/daycare, clothes, food, etc. We are both active parents and very stable at that. I'm lucky that I have such a good ex-husband.

I didn't think you were. I just found the statement interesting because I have not ever seen what you claim. I have seen disrespectful children in all types of homes.

Why? Especially in this situation regarding Jen Aniston. She has the means to love and provide for her child. How is that selfish? What is selfish is girls getting pregnant to fill a void that their parents most likely created. Get a puppy, not a baby.
