Half our problems could be solved, or at least lessened if having children out of wedlock wasn't so prevalent, and accepted. I don't think enough of us take bringing a life into the world seriously, and how much work it takes mentally, emotionally, and financially to raise a productive member of society.
I've heard so many people talk about things their parents did, and say, "I turned out fine." Umm, no you didn't. I'm at the age where I see girls I grew up with becoming grandmothers in their damn 30s. These are the same women talking shyt on facebook about "real fathers, and women holding it down" on Father's Day. Ok, but you chose him, and chances are, he wasn't living some productive responsible life before you got pregnant. And I'm not talking about the men who are active in their children's lives, but not married to the mothers. BUT speaking of them, having multiple children by more than one woman you were never married to is irresponsible period.
We need more two parent households, and traditional family units.
