So you want to know what I think huh???

This is what I think: I think it is absolutley pathetic that 53% of all babies born in the US are born to single mothers. And no, that's not a slam at single mom's...we do the best we can. That is a direct hit on all the baby's daddies out there who think that they are justified by deciding things are too hard, so they hit the road. What about the mom's? I know that there is NOT ONE of us who has not said "this is too hard", but we don't have anywhere to run. We have a child that needs us and it's our job to take care of them even though their own father's would rather stay children instead of growing up and taking on some responsibility. This is also a direct hit on the parent's of those baby's fathers. They raised their son's to think that it's ok to let go of your responsibilities, and if things are too hard, just leave. WHO GIVES A SHIT IF YOUR STILL A KID? If you didn't want a baby, then wrap it up...don't wait until after your girlfriend finds out she's pregnant to decide that now's the time for you to go out and sow your oats. What about the girls you leave behind who have to grow up, and be the sole bearer of the burden of a mistake you both made? I do not regret my daughter, I love her more than my life. And I will be there for her until the end. And as much as her father may say the same, there is a HUGE difference between what he says and what he actually does. He says he feels the same way about her, but yet how many times has he bothered to call and see how she's doing, and how much of his life has he given up to make sure she has what she needs? I know that I have made sacrifices since the day I knew about her. I know that he hasn't. There is no distance I wouldn't go for my little girl, there is nothing I wouldn't give up if I could make her life better. And I don't resent that.
I love my baby's father with all my heart, and I always have. But I know that all I got from him was a lot of empty promises. He swore he would always be there, but where is he now? I can tell you...he's out with other girls doing whatever he pleases while I am at home trying not to let the thought of what he did to me have an effect on my little angel. The best part of that boy is part of me. She's the only good thing that I have seen come out of him.
