Okay, I know I'm going to get flamed big time for asking an unPC question, but why is there no mention of a father to the 6 daughters? Is he deceased? Should the father not receive some credit?

[SandRat]

No mention in the story. For all we know she's a widow.

Lots of women are single with kids, this one is doing good. At least these girls are striving for college, studying and trying to be good citizens. I was a single mom, got an engineering and master's degree all the while my ex was living with his 'girlfriend' and not sending child support. And I wasn't on welfare. Save your 'where's the dad' for stories of truly deadbeat parents.

Same thought I had...the ol' Single Parent trick? (defies biological law)

I was wondering where Pops was too. Also, whose raising the kids while she is away?

[Blueflag]

Let me add fuel to the fire ... The daughter on the far right is holding a toddler, who is not apparently, #7. More fatherless kids? Although kids could grow up in worse fatherless households! I admit I do not have the facts, so any criticisms against me are warranted. ;-) flame away.

No you will not get flamed. ex-husband is currently living with an "ex" best friend of mine.
Feel free to give him all the credit you like.
