I don't know how many times WIC came to my house or called me in utter amazement that Steven was the baby daddy AND presently active in the child's life. This concerns me.
Also, why this topic came up is because I went to the doctor for my flesh eating wound and I was talking about K.J, my 6 month old son. The doctor very bluntly said... "Is the daddy in the picture?"...
WHAT THE H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICK DOES THAT MEAN! Is it seriously THAT common that it is assumed a young woman with a baby is automatically Maury material?!
*sigh**composing myself*"Yes, he is. He is going for accounting and me performing arts"
"Oh, okay, well just make sure you are careful with this wound, no sharing towels with your boyfriend..."
Oh my God, do people not get married anymore? Why am I foreign to you lady! Has it seriously gotten that old fashioned to live a conservative life and to do what the Good Lord intended us to do and marry before babies arrive??? It's shocking to me! I can't believe how rare I truly am, it's like I was picked off a weirdo truck and set in a field of norms.
Anyways, God Bless those who assume, it gave me some thing to write about via blog.
I think it's around 40% of women who have kids these days are not married, or maybe it's 60%.... But yeah, traditional families are getting more rare.
