What is it with these single mothers who seem to change their boyfriends more often than they do sanitary pads?

One day I was waiting outside the door of the elementary school my son attends, and I overheard another mother casually say something about "my new boyfriend."

When I was in preschool, kindergarten, back in the mid- to late-1970s, that was basically unheard of. Just about all of my classmates had two parents in their homes.

Now instead of a lifelong commitment, these women live with men until they get bored or can't stand them anymore, then find another sucker. They might as well put revolving doors in their homes with a sign over it saying "MEN."

Do they ever stop to think what it does to their children? Do their children see their natural fathers? Heh--do they even KNOW who their father is? I'd think that this situation would be a bit unsettling for children, not to mention it provides them with a poor role model. Do they not care that their children don't have a stable home environment with these men coming and going?

Whatever happened to "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage"?

Welcome to our disposable society.
