It is less about punishing the children, and more about limiting the damage. It was a way of saying “look at what you will be doing to the child and youself!”

All you single men out there - never, ever date or have a relationship with a single mother.

Scuse me, but I WAS a single mother with twin toddlers. After I met my hubby we dated for a full year before he even met my girls, and we dated for another year before we were married. He knew from the START about my girls.....that was 15 years ago, and not ONCE did I ever 'use them is a battering ram' against him, and he was never at 'risk' from their father...although their father WAS at a great risk of MY kicking his ass back to New Mexico.

Be a bit more careful in the future about where you swing that broad brush, there partner.

I guess we need to watch how wide a brush we use here but all I can say is you gotta be careful.

That goes both ways.

Yeah, I can see Catholic Canadian's points here since I told the story of what happened to by best friend, but I did put a clause in on answering the question of how the single mom was separated. Widows, I can see they are more stable, I mean bad things do happen, but there are others who might have left for various reasons, unless it was to flee abuse, there is questions that need to be asked. I guess we need to watch how wide a brush we use here but all I can say is you gotta be careful.

SCalGal, do you understand any of this babble? I don't.

Good grief!

That goes both ways.

Agreed, it does.

Sometimes I don't comment on these social issues threads because I'm more of a libertarian, I like to make up my own mind on the ethics, morals and the way I see things. I get both sides mad at me. B-) I just mean that you got to check things out in a potential mate and it does work both ways. It is like buying a car, you got to kick the tires, check the hood, make sure the tranny is OK and so on. If you read my previous post, I'm sure you'd understand more, my friend did (almost) get into trouble too over something like this and I just want to say I can see both sides of the issue.

It's just that you need to be compatible and stable, that said, for me, no Obama-ites need to apply.

I’d have never dated a liberal or a Democrat, either. That’d be a deal killer for me, too.

In all fairness, maybe some of us are using a shotgun approach instead of a precise rifle in our posts here, but most single moms I've encountered are pro-OBummer along with what happened to my friend. As you put it, the deal killer for you, and me, is if she/he (it works both ways) believes in what America stood for and not looking to the Rats and OBummer for their salvation. Heck, at one time, I think I had a single mom interested in me but what killed if for me at the time was she had a kid in head start and pro-Kerry. That said, time to hit the afterburners. I think the key is you need to seek out the good one out there that think similar to yourself.

I apologize for any friendly fire and really, it is not directed at any FR single Moms out there, as the saying goes, you know who you are.
