I empathize with single mothers, there's a lot of them out there. I was a single father with custody of two sons, from the time they were 8 and 9 years old respectively for the next 8 years until I remarried and got some great help.
I wasn't promiscious, no woman ever slept over at my house. I smoked and I heard about it from the do gooders how I was a bad influence on my boys, they are 32 and 33 years old now, neither of them smoke, and they are both members of this forum. ("smaagee" & "Ironman73")
I am no better than millions of single parents both male and female. Ask my sons if they think they would have been better off if the old man had a same sex partner.
To suggest that single mothers are no better than having same sex "parents" is ridiculous.
Congratulations on raising two fine children to adulthood by yourself. I hope someday I can say the same. My daughter is grown now and is about to leave home and I'm proud of her; my son still has six more years to go. Both children are in church every weekend.
Newzjunkey, you've made a very foolish post. And please don't try to weasel out of your silly remarks by saying that you didn't mean the single mothers on Free Republic, just all the others. Being a single parent is even more difficult than being a married parent, and finding fault with them as they struggle to make a living and raise good young people is very low.
