The upper class suffers through single parenthood by its derogation of the importance of fatherhood as long as someone is able to pay the bills. Its not o.k., just because we don’t get stuck with the bills.
I do agree with that. Even that one talk show woman, Laura, adopted a baby (can’t remember the details of the story) and she’s not married so that child doesn’t have a father, as far as I know.
It bothers me that fathers aren’t given the same importance as mothers. The best case scenario is two parents, a mom and dad, who have children and raise them as a married couple who love each other. It’s the best example for the children.
Finances play an important part, imo, because since we have these government programs, where taxpayers support these people and the choices they make, we’re losing the idea of individual responsibility and accountablity. We’re also losing what I think of as the family.
