But many do and that's what closed minded people fail to realise! If they would take their heads out their a*s they'd see we stand up and take on the roll of both parents and all we get is criticised for being single parents?

I know I'm a better parent than a lot of "parents" I don't care what anyone says about single parents sometimes things happen and in my heart I believe everything happens for a reason.

The fact that he would run away instead of taking responisbility for his actions. If they aren't both on the same page with how to deal with this, they shouldn't be risking a pregnancy. I guess "running" would be his way of accepting/dealing with the consequences but it makes him look like an immature loser, IMO.

I had a pregnancy scare once when I was young (with a man who told me he was sterile and I was too young and stupid to know any better) and he left me. Once he found out it was a false alarm he tried to come back. Lesson learned and halleluiah for the morning after pill for when the condom breaks. Either way, I just don't know where these guys come up with half the crap they post.

Well forgive me, but in my own case that didn't happen, so naturally I am very leery of single parents. I'd like to think that if a pregnancy was planned, people would make better parents.

So, it's really about you. Figures, but the only people that you shouldn't be respecting are your parents. No need to hold strangers accountable for the activities of your parents via disrespect of others.

Im Glad it worked out for you

I was terrified I was 22 but he was fine! He kept saying we'll be fine don't worry he was actually talking to my tummy etc but then one day phoned me and told me he couldn't do it. That was that I've never heard from him and he only lives about 6minutes from me he's never paid a penny for my son which I'm happy with because he can't throw anything back at me. Everything my son had I bought everything he's learned I taught him and I couldn't be happier

He's supposed to love her.

Like I said.....BASTARD!!
You are aware that the child and the mother are two different people, right?
As such, the father could very well love and support one of those individuals and not the other, right?

F'ing people.

The OP didn't state anything about 'running away'. People are reading way more into this than they should be.
