I am a single mom, my big mistake was not marrying a car guy, "You love your car more than me", didn't start that way but ended that way. Most women's only hobby is fixing men. Personally, I will stick to fixing my hot rod.

In my experience single moms usually fit 1 of 2 categories with very few exceptions:
1) She hooked up with a guy that had a few flaws, but she found him exciting and figured she could fix him. She may or may not have married him, but she just knew he'd make a great father (never mind that he kept saying he didn't want kids), a couple of kids later he dumps her or she leaves him because he wouldn't give up the drinking, pot, other women, etc.
2) She met a guy and had a kid with him thinking he would marry her and big surprise, he split instead.
It takes a special guy to be a father, the responsibility is awesome and fatherhood should be entered into freely and without coercion. The cure for the epidemic of single motherhood will come with an effective male birth control pill. Once that happens, every child born will be wanted by both parents.
Single mothers tend to be serial offenders and if you hook up with one you'd better realize that you'll never come first in her life.
.....and no I'm not bitter, just a realist.
Chicks go after the cute guys that are real assholes and it never works out once the kids come and the real work starts.

I've done some thinking on this subject since I first saw it and i think it can be summed up in one word - respect. Respect for your elders, your peers, and the next generation. There are a lot of people in my generation that were not raised to respect authority figures - either their parents, teachers, boss, themselves, others in general. That goes also for a lot in my parents generation - yes the Baby Boomers (ie Stick it to the Man and Question Authority) While there is a place for these ideas, there also has to be respect for authority - or else society will not function. If you don't respect the people around you, you won't see the need (have the responsibility) to stick around and clean up your messes - for the purpose of this thread, the children you create with some one else. If you don't show respect to the other person involved then the children created will not learn it either and the cycle repeates itself.
It has come to be too easy to leave your responsibilities behind (Children, relationships, marriage, debts, etc) and start anew in search of a better life - pick your own reason, and the mother ends up, normally, keeping the kids. Can't deny that maternal bond - she did have them growing inside her for a good part of a year after all.
And people wonder why our schools are so messed up (No respect for the teachers because the kids were not taught respect at home), and then why the kids are not ready for college, and then cannot find a good paying job, etc...
You could also call it a lack of committment...
That's my two cents worth...
Amen sister!!!
BINGO...
Throw in the fact that we are a disposable society...
Your computer/printer/tv/whatever/relationship breaks...toss out the old one and just go out and get a new one...

I noticed something about most single moms, usually way nicer than normal for about 2 months, then you figure out why they are single moms. The claws start to show.
LOL
