Typically, whatever mess the man leaves behind must be dealt with by the woman.

I have asked many times why so many women seem so adept at choosing losers to father their children.

However you should not put all men in this category. Only the men chosen by women on this forum.








As I said many times before, there are very, very, few men out there fighting for the right to raise their unborn child on their own. Do you know why? Because it's very, very difficult to do. Most men in fact, support their girlfriends or wives decision to terminate, because they know that the burden of responsibility falls on her shoulders.

All the more reason why women need to be careful who they choose to father their children. In the end it's the children who suffer.




And about the financial aspect of parenthood, you would have to agree that in today's economy, both parents are supporting the family, because we can't live on one income alone any more, not for a long time now. You seem to be stuck in the 1950's type of mentality. Time to upgrade your system, times have changed.
Raising children as a stay-at-home mum is not a "1950's mentality', it's just the right thing to do.

My wife stopped working just before we had our first child and is only just beginning to start working again. I have been the only provider for our family, and I know many other men who have done likewise.

Again - women need to choose their husbands a lot more intelligently, it's no fun being a latchkey kid.

Infact it's one of the major reasons why kids end up in gangs - nobody home to care for them after school.
