I am a parent of a child that’s father is non existent in her life. It infuriates me more that I can say about the amount children that are growing up in a household without a mother or a father. All I can say is that why would people continue to have children that they are not going to take care of? Who do you think that you are hurting? The fact that my daughters father is in another country is no excuse for her to not receive a letter or a card on her birthday. Just something saying that she is in their thoughts and she is not forgotten about. What is even worse is that her grandparents live in the states and she has her grandmother’s namesake and she still does not hear from any of them on that side of the family. It is terrible that my child has to feel like her dad does not care about her because he can’t take a few minutes to send her a card. I just found out that her grandparents had a house built for her father and his new wife and yet they can’t even send her a birthday card? How does that work in her favor? There are so many children that do not have their parents in their lives. No wonder we have angry children in society. I also want to point out that it is not about the parents, it’s about the kids. I don’t care how much you don’t like the person you had these kids with, they need their parents. You should have thought about that before you decided to have children. Birth control is free at the health department if you need it that bad. Come on people, take the time to spend with your kids, they need it. Another issue for the women is why would you think for one minute that if you got pregnant you could keep a man? Who s really suffering when he leaves you anyway? That would be your child. Men, you need to step up to the plate and take care of your responsibilities. Don’t brag about how many kids you have when you are not really being a father to them. Taking care of your kids is worth bragging about, not making them. Also don’t use excuses. If you wanted to have sex, take precautions and don’t make babies if you aren’t going to take care of them. To any absent parent, how could you make a baby and not do what is right and take care of them, it isn’t about you or your pride, it’s about the child that is part of you and you made. Do the right thing for them. Children are the most precious gift, how could you walk away from them and never look back, or walk out of their lives and not think about the positive impact you could have enjoyed in raising them? Again, it isn’t about you.
