The arcticle talks about how the daddy daughter dances are something from the 1950's. There were complaints from the lesbians saying its not fair to their daughters and even the Girl Scouts changed the name of their dances to SAM dances, SAM stands for significant adult male as well as some one special and me dances REALLY??? This is the problem, where are the fathers of these children? Okay the article is about incarcerated fathers, well at least those kids know where their dads are! what about the fathers of the kids who just leave, who have nothing to do with their kids by choice, if you want my opinion THEY should be in jail for bailing! Okay so the fathers in jail committed a crime and they are paying for that but the fathers that just bail don't pay child support they don't help the mothers with the kids they do not even see their children. Most of them have committed crimes and just have not gotten caught. I can tell you that my oldest daughters father stole radios out of brand new cars right off the car lot among other things and just never got caught!
The article also said that according to the 2011 census more than 50% of children are raised by unmarried women. THIS IS CRAZY TO ME. What is going on where are these fathers? I thought well maybe grandpa could take the kids to the daddy daughter dances but you know what? he is no where to be found either because this is the second generation where kids are being raised my single mothers. Does any one think about that? Look back, could you imagine not having a grandfather? So lets think about this, a women has a child with a man and he leaves and she has to raise the child on her own and then her daughter meets a man and because she does not know what a good man looks like she then has a daughter with this man who leaves her to raise the child on her own and this just goes on and on and on. Children need a father. The article talks about being old fashioned well maybe that is the problem. WE generation x, this is us, this is what we did. Our grandmothers just two generations ago didn't work, they stayed home with the kids they were married before they had children, divorce was not something that was talked about, was that so bad? Then our parents, well they were still married before they had children mostly anyway, even with free love but divorce was becoming pretty prevalent and that made us Gen X'ers a little freaked out by the whole marriage thing so we started saying ya know what lets just live together first ya know a trial run and this started to have children out of wedlock. But don't use the word bastard cuz people get offended.
Then we segway into another of my awesome rockn blogs about marriage and how it is overrated. READ IT
Our level of exceptance has hit the floor we will let lesbians bitch about daddy daughter dances and the Girl Scouts of American think its okay to change the name of the dance to accommodate out messed up idea of a secular family. The Bradys were a blended family but the parents married because they were widows not because of divorce or no marriage at all. I get that marriage is tough I get that couples have children outside of wedlock, I get that baby daddy's leave Ive been there I'm not being a hipocrit and on not bashing gays but this is my blog and I say what I want.
We need to stop this crazy-ness go back to no sex before marriage how about saving yourself for your future wife/ husband? How about teaching our kids to save themselves that sex is sacred that marriage is sacred and teach it to your sons not just your daughters. Do I think a women's place is in the kitchen? Do I think only men leave? Do I think that a women should stay in a marriage that is unhealthy to her and their children NOOO there are always exceptions to the rules. Okay now Im digressing just read my blog about marriage I'm not getting into all that again.
When my hubby took our daughter to the daddy daughter dance was not for him it was for her, However the daddy daughter dance at the jail was just as much for the daddy's as it was for the daughters.
okay I guess I'm done
