Plenty of middle-class or upper-income women have been divorced and remarried or widowed and remarried, and have children who have different fathers. (No, I am not one.) But just on general principles, the Brits can go boink themselves.
Thank Liberals for this mess going back to LBJ.
I happen to be a father that has children with different moms. Does this stigmatize me in your eyes?
My dad was a garbageman, my first sister’s dad was unemployed, and my second sister’s dad was a milk man. ;~)
I suspect the numbers are worse than that. I also suspect it is similar in the UK.
I’ve always wondered what percentage of fathers were (unknowingly) raising a child that was not really theirs. My gut tells me that figure would be higher than anyone ever imagined—and not just recently.
PING
I have to say, I am surprised the percentage is so low.
I’m not sure what this is supposed to be telling us...I would expect divorced mothers with children, remarrying and having children with a different husband. Given the divorce rate is about 50%, this 20% number isn’t that shocking.
If they’re studying illegitimate rates, then that’s what they should have said in the study and even studied rather than dancing around it.
Amazing coincidence, as only 1/5 of Democrats know who their father is.
I’m sure Christmas is a joyous time of the year!
I got multiple baby mama out there.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
I’m trying to populate the earth in my image.
Ping!
And some of those women even admit it it!
My husband and I have 5 children (3 here with us, 2 in heaven).
Trust me, the next guy I marry isn’t getting any babies from me!
;-)
Americans? Really, no illegal aliens?
in the 60s, there was a term for this. 20% of females with kids. whoa.
just imagine the stats on the single females (i’ve heard admissions that would make the cdc run screaming for handi-wipes AND antibacterial soap)
and people wonder why i’m still single.
i won’t compromise my principles. why should i? to enter into a jerry springer world of non-stop drama and disease? thanks, but no thanks
liberals / progressives ... the root of moral decay in our nation
My wife and I had five children, every one born to a different father, but they all called me Dad. Come to think of it, there were four different mothers involved too. One of them was the natural child of my wife and me. The rest were foster and adopted children. We loved every one of them as our own but it is a shame there are so many people out there that can’t parent their own children.
As the snow flies on a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
And guess who gets to pay for them.
