well they should have chosen better in the first place. Why choose a loser to father your children? Just stupid.

If more women actually put some thought into choosing a guy who would actually stick around and be a good father to have children with there wouldnt be so many fatherless children. Seems they just have children with whoever they fancy at that time, not who would be good for the child as a role model.

I know sh!t happens and relationships end but these days its gotten out of hand and its just become the norm for children to have no father. Which means they do not get a balanced influence when growing up. They also do not get the benefit of seeing a strong relationship as a role model. No wonder they often go on to repeat the pattern of failed relationships and single parenthood.
