Moms Return to Work

[99explorer]

A woman of my acquaintance who was divorced and remarried went to work in a library.
On her first day, she was explaining her marital status to her co-workers, and one of the younger girls exclaimed, "Wow! You got TWO guys to marry you?"
That cracked me up.

Holly shit. This went off the rails fast. I was raised by single mother in the eyes of the law from age 5-11. She did have boyfriend for 4 or 5 years they lived together. He was a huge influence on me a good influence I might add. Skipping a lot details she met and married my step dad who adopted me at 14 years old. I took his last name. My two oldest kids were raised by a single mother and myself until her I got married. Single mother’s are some of the hardest working people I know. It’s also what motivates me to work the way I do. I watched my own momma not eat to feed me during hard times. And she will never be without as long as I’m above ground and able. I turned out ok for guy raised buy a single mother. I’ve never taken one nickel of government money. I own and run a successfully business and still keep a full time job. I pay more in taxes most years than most folks make before taxes. Because I was raised by a single mother and have been poor as hell. I will never be that way again.

One of my daughters is a single mother. Her and the father are together but no plans of being married. She’s only 22 bought herself a new car and house last year. Without his help she doesn’t want or need his help.

Anyways I was raised by a single mother as was my wife. My youngest was raised by a single mother which she’s on her way to her bachelors for being an RN in three years not 4. And on the fast track program for nurse practitioner in 6 years not 8-10.

My oldest daughter is my operations manage and in-line to inherit the business.

Not to bad for a bunch of drains on society raised by single mothers slackers.

Almost forgot middle girl just got a salaried promotion to a mangers position that is supposed to require degree.

My apologies somethings just get all over me and this one did. But I still respect your right to have your opinions.

And with out discussions none of us learn anything.

Now why can't those gang banger teenagers in places like Chicago work hard and be successful like your family ? Can you answer that ?

Well I heard Mr. Young sing a ballad
Well I heard old Neil put it down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Tell the truth.

LOL. Earlier today, I had that all lined up to play in the TGIF -- it has the line, "a kindler, gentler, machine-gun hand." Then I couldn't decide which video I liked, and never did decide before I had to log off and get back to work.

Folks, the Admin. wants to pass a $ 3Trillion Social Welfare program. How much is a Trillion dollars ? If you had a $ million dollars to spend every day all year, , how long would it take you to spend
$1 Trillion ?
Ans: 2,739 years - and Biden wants to pass a $3 Trillion package - basically to raise minority children and families.

While I am on it, suppose a pregnant woman has a serious, but not deadly, defect through ultra sound or testing and prognosis is for child to need life long support and never have a real life. What should she do ?

I say, I don't care what she does as long as she and her family pay for the medical and support costs for the child for the rest of its life. I don't think it is fair to put expensive medical heroics to maintain a vegtable on the shoulders of tax payers.
The City and or State should not pay for those treatments.

I know a family that decided to go ahead with such a pregnancy and the City and State has probably spent a million tax payer $$ to keep the thing alive, without ever being able to do anyting I feel she should have aborted, especially since she was young and probably could have gotten pregnant again. JMO

In nature a mother would push away a new born if in a situation like above. Let the rest survive.
