Two Mommy's --

[Elle]

If it bothers you that much I'd find out exactly what the situation is and not make assumptions.

Please get on your soapbox. Tell us how a child suffers by having 2 mothers to love them. Tell us how a child suffers by having 2 mothers that love children so much that they intentionally had a child. While you are at it, tell us how the sperm that got killed while being artificially inseminated deserve a funeral. Please do.

Are you saying that fathers don't matter? You can't honestly be saying that?I think children suffer when they don't have a mother and a father to love them. I would being asking my care giving where my three year old heard that. She is way to young to understand anything.

A child should have 2 parents to love them. :shrug:

First thing that popped into my mind was mom & stepmom.

For me it was Mom and Grandmom. I knew a little one who called his Mother "Mom," Grandmother "MomMom."

Yes, a mother and a father. Each brings a quality to the marriage and family that one can not do alone. My mother passed away when I was 15 and altough my father did an awesome job raising my sister, my brother and I he could not fulfill the role a mother could because he was not female.

Not true. My kids are well loved and I am doing it alone. They are the most loving kids in the world.

How do you know Little Suzi's mommy had help from a daddy?

I did not say they could not be loved by one parent but you have to admit that you cannot be a mother and father to them. Men bring certain qualities to parenting that mothers can't bring. In a perfect world there would not be divorce and each family would have a mother and father. I understand this is a fallen world and its not like that. I was just making the point that both a mother and father is ideal. Not mommy and mommy or daddy and daddy.

Are you saying that a deadbeat would be better in a child's life than not in the picture at all just to make sure that the child has 2 parents?

Come on, give me a break!!!!! Did I say that at all. All you parents out there get so uptight when someone says that a mother and father make the best situation. Obviously a drug addicted, physically abusive parent whether mother or father would not be good for the children. Do you understand what I am saying? They best thing for a child is a loving mother and father in a loving marriage!!! Is that clear enough.

I hear what you are saying but to me the terms mommy & daddy are just words and it doesn’t really matter who the people who are called those words are - as long as the kid has someone (be it one person or 10 people) raising it to be a good standing member of society and in a loving home then the kid is doing ok in my book.

I know some very masculine women that could teach kids everything except writing their name in the smow, maybe even that.

I am not going to sit here and go back and forth with you three. I have a feeling you are all single moms and some how I have offended. I am sorry if you feel offended I only state what most studies have shown. I am sure you are doing the best job you can.

 

[Cowgirl]

Not necessarily.

What would be better than that?

Why? It's none of her business.

A child being loved is the best situation. Period. Many unconventional families raise amazing, well adjusted, loved kids.

I am not a single mom. I am married (to a man). Go back and forth with me. And show me the studies.

 

[MMDad]

I am not a single mom. I am married (to a man).

But you're a man, too.
