I have a friend who has a 2 year-old daughter. Whenever she goes out in public she wears her old engagment rings from when she and the baby's father were still planning on getting married because she gets so many dirty looks and comments otherwise. It's pretty sick. If they're being caring and attentive parents, who the hell cares whether or not they're married? I know plenty of parents who are or were married and completely ignored or abused their children. Some people think that being married is the number one requirement to be a good parent. I absolutely agree that it is ideal to bring a child up in a stable family with a both father and mother figure, but sometimes due to life's circumstances that simply can't happen. And it's really not that big of a deal if it doesn't. Children can still be very successful after having been raised in single-parent homes. Look at President Obama: he was raised by a single mom and is pretty damn successful; and you can't deny it just because you don't like his politics. He still managed to be President.

I don't believe in premaritle sex but that was extreamly rude. The ring could have been left at home or in her purse or a suitcase just incase.

The fact that she didn't have on a ring doesn't mean much. She may very well be in a marriage or committed relationship. My bf's parents have been together for almost 30 years and they aren't married. He is 22 so that means they were together for a good seven years b4 they even had kids. Does the fact that they didn't go to the courthouse or a church and get married change the dynamic of their family in anyway? No, it doesn't. My bf and his siblings grew up in a house w/ both parents his entire life and does not need counseling. And like I said before, my cousins that are SDA don't believe in wearing rings for religious reasons but they are married w/ kids. Don't judge people!

Pft where I'm from, that's pretty common. You'd be the rule, not the exception.

just what the worldnneeds, another single mother. fail.

People are too judgmental, really. I'm sorry she said that.

Next time, puke on her. I puked on few people when I was pregnant. They are very nice to you after that. They are afraid.

who the **** cares what that bitch thinks? have confidence. respect yourself. ignore judgmental people like that. Especially if they don't know the slightest bit about you.

not that i'm necessarily against single parents/pregnant w/out marrige, but personally, if it were me and i got my gf pregnant, i would propose. 2 me that seems like the proper thing to do.

u should have thrown up on her
