Well!...what do you expect

We know all about planting seeds
and we know all about doubts
and we know all about breaking relationships up
and we know all about fakeries lying and spreading false rumours
and we know all about fertility
and we know all about ninety seconds 'thank you ma'am'
and we know all about ****** frustrations and venting on others
and we know all about jealousy and hating those that get things right
and we know all about cancelling and opposing those that are not like us
and we know that love is just writing poetry above love
and making things up
and we prefer childish men and deadbeats to real sincere stable honest kind reliable hardworking aspiring decent men

ALMOST a quarter of families in Britain are single parent homes, a landmark new study reveals today.

It is nearly double the 13 per cent EU average - and more than 90 per cent of them are single mums.


Children's Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza is demanding the next PM puts family values at the heart of their agenda.

She argues they have a "protective effect" during rough times and that kids with loving families are "more likely to succeed later on in life".

Of the 8.2.million families only 63 per cent are married couples and 14 per cent are co-habiting couples.

The 23 per cent of single-parent homes are much more likely to struggle financially, Dame Rachel warns.

Why do we have so many single mothers out there recently?
The politically correct answer is to of course, blame the deadbeat men. But I'll go ahead and quote one of my extremely left-wing, feminist professors, who surprisingly responded to this question with β€œIt takes two to tango”, that while the men were indeed deadbeats, the women ought to have been more selective.

****** permissiveness in society leads to more single mothers.

There is less decent paying work for men these days, which causes men to run away since they are ashamed for not being able to support their children.

Welfare is easier to get than before WWII.

Society is more tolerant of it. In the past, unmarried mothers would not have baby showers. It is much more common now.
Women are increasingly becoming single mothers by choice.
