people say it's bad
by musykalmayhem

ok so you have people who think pregnancy out of marraige is bad and it causes a lot of pain... they also say that it can lead to unsuccessful people, and more unmarried pregnancies...

I decided to reply to this because I am a child of an un married pregnancy woman... when my dad left i was to young to realise it but i knew enough that he was gone because when my mom dated someone else i guess i figured he wasn't my dad... i was 3 when it happened, but i still knew... growing up around him sure it wasn't so bad... but i'm going to tell you right now when you have a kid and you're not married don't get to anxious to find someone to marry... it may just be the biggest heart ache for you and your child... you think it's going great but like they said a lot of marraiges don't last more than a decade... it's true... my mom and step-dad got married in 2001 and split in 2007... it was one of the most painful things you will ever go through... but having people like that around you isn't always so bad... it builds you mentally and physically for the world... when you are in that situation you may feel abandoned and that is painful you wonder what you did to get what you got, but you become so much more aware of the things around you... you start to realise the world and take things more seriously... you start to set more goals because you don't want to do that to you're kids... you start to find things that you need and want that are also good for your well-being... kids that go through that, sure they can be messed up phsychologically... i think i am a little, but people say i am very level headed person, they say i'm a strong person, and on top of that they say i'm a very talented person... when you are phsychologically out of wack you have many other great qualities that balance that out... I don't wish that people get pregnant out of marraige, but i'm here to say if you do don't be to worried about your child in the end they just need care and love... nothing to much more!!! yeah it's nice to have parents who ae together but either way i'm pretty sure that kid could end up level headed with a little push... we tend to like to prove people wrong and be very stubborn which could be our down fall... but it could push us above also!!! so let us make mistakes and stop us if we go to far... thats all we need!!!

Marriage is good, but it needs to be meaningful. Getting anxious for the children's sake is not a way to go. It just makes everyone miserable.

More importantly, children learn about relationships from their parents. If you are in a bad relationship, you are teaching your children how to be in bad relationships.

When you are a parent, it is *always* better to ask "what would I want my child to do?" rather than "What is best for my child?" You are their role models, after all....
