[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 493392, member: 1258"] When you kick God out of society then society always falls apart. Morals and sense of responsibility are lacking. The morals people still have are skewed because they are based on personal opinions not on a fixed point of truth (God's word). BTW I am not talking about just parents. We have infant baptism in our church and as a congregation we stand up and say we will lead these children in their lives to Christ. I take that seriously. As a society we have to stop turning a blind eye on children, parents have to do their jobs but all of us have to help them. I have all the respect in the world for single women who have to work (my Mom was one of them) to support their children but hrbelgians has a point. It is not the mindset of women who HAVE to work that causes a problem. The problem comes from the women who have a kid because they want one instead of thinking of the life the child will have. Case in point. I know a couple that both work 5 days a week, long days. They got a house. Then they had to get a dog. One of them took a week off work to stay with the puppy. Then the puppy was crated all day and most evenings because of social events they wanted to be involved in. The dog's not quite normal - surprise, surprise. So they have no time for a dog BUT they had to have a baby. So she has a baby and three months later has the kid in daycare because she can't stand to be home taking care of the baby all day. She is a career woman, she should not have had a child. How will this child grow up? Lots of money but not lots of love. That can be a deadly combination. People should not have a child just because they can or because society thinks they should (as a 33 year old childless woman I can say society does expect it of you) and if they do then they should be responsible. hrbelgians said that when women started going to work - that is key. At one point the most important job a woman had was raising her children. It was a respected job. Then a bunch of women decided it wasn't important enough they were not fulfilled and searched out careers. The mindset switched and children became less important than jobs. Being a stay at home Mom was looked down on by many. I don't care if women work or not but if raising their child is not their #1 priority they shouldn't have had that child. Sorry for the vent. :oops: I am off to take care of my cows. [/QUOTE]
