Never occurs to this dumb ass that when she’s 71, her kid will be twenty, and still in need of parental support psychologically

twenty years from now, 70 will be the new 54....it's amazing, but it's happening before our eyes....I have friends well into their 80's who play golf every day!!!

Thanks TeryCarl. As I said to one other responder, it seems to me this is more about her, and very little about the welfare of the kids. If she had another person in the picture for those kids (dad), I could care less what they do. There is another reason why this bothers me. It’s the idea that kids don’t need two parents, especially if there’s no man in the picture. Kids need a mom and a dad. There’s a reason why it takes two people to create a child.

You start messing with that model, on whims, and it gets problematic quick.
