I know several single Moms. Some are divorced and better off with out their Ex-husbands. Others were just a wild child. Nothing Mom and Dad tried worked, the kid knew best. They ran off from home, got into drugs, smoking, drinking, then turned up pregnant. Suddenly all their friends won't have any thing to do with her, especially the man she thinks got her that way.
The two I personally know have cleaned up their act. Got a job, an apartment, and put the kid in day care while she is at work. They are not looking for a man in their life. If one comes along, he will have to meet some very high standards, comparable to the only man in their life that was a good man, their adopted Father.
One young wild child followed in her mothers foot steps. Her mother had done the same thing. After living with a baby for a few years, she found a good man, married him and had more children. Only the oldest was a wild child, the younger ones did not follow in big sisters foot steps. Interesting case, the Grandma had done the same thing. Ran off, had a baby, supported herself and the baby for a few years, then met Mr Right, and got married. I knew all three women when they were growing up. They all had loving caring parents, and lived in a nice middle class home, with everything they needed.
I ask myself why?
