When you have programs like EITC, Advanced EITC, SNAP, SCHIP, Section 8 housing, AFDC, WICs and other EBTish benefits mostly geared towards single-parent heads-of-household, you cannot help BUT create a fatherless society if the programs are extended to the extreme.
To my mind, it has already been taken over. More than half our ‘citizens’ aren’t worth the spit it takes to wet your hands.
Fatherhood started declining when “men” stopped carrying 6 shooters.
It is a simple matter of practice makes perfect.....
Today’s fathers can’t hit their proposed targets and hit everything but.....
Instead,they end up hitting their neighbors wife, the bosses wife, their best friends wife, a strange woman in the grocery store, young girls (and boys) they happen to meet on the street.
So sad isn’t it?
Let me say here and I will tell him later in person, I thank God for the man he sent to me, who is a wonderful father working hard so that I could be home with our kids and give them a stable home.
People always compliment me on how well I raised our kids, but truth is, without him I couldn’t have been the mother I was to them growing up.
May God Bless all fathers with His own love and may He give the grace to know their importance in the lives of their children.
My Mom and Dad were a mismatch in many ways. Separation was considered more than once. They never did, though, and, boy, am I glad of it. Life with Mom as the head of household (sweetheart that she was) would have been totally chaotic.
Dad and I never really got along till I was nearly 30, but his last few years were pretty nice between us. I’m grateful for those.
