Nothing is Taboo discussion

Ladies, do you think men need to take more reponsibilty for thier children? Why do men keep getting women pregnant and can't take care of the children?

My son's father takes very good care of our son---but I have a niece who's 21. She's been pregnant by a 24 year old guy two times within the last year. Everytime she gets pregnant he says he's not ready. OK after the first time I'm putting the blame on my niece. Why keep getting pregnant by this guy and you know he's no good. Yes he should take care of his responsibilities but when is that gonna happen? So I think this is where women need to wise up.

YES!!!! If a man chooses to lay down with a woman, he should man up and take care of any children that result from that. That doesn't leave the women out of it. Each should take responsibility for the children and/or take precautions against it if they are not ready. As far as why they keep getting woman pregnant. They have no concept of self respect or respect for the women they are with. Accidents happen, yes, but prevention is the key to not having to worry about this issue or STD's. That doesn't mean that men and woman should blindly go out and have sex since they are protected, it just means to do what you can to lessen the possibility of both.

When i was pregnant with my daugter she was "real" to me from the first time i threw up, only one month along. I couldnt disconnect myself from the litte thing inside me that constantly reminded me of it's presence. However when i was 8 1/2 months along, big as a house and ready to pop my ex boyfriend made a comment that stagered me. I was rearranging the room and setting up the crib, making space in the closet, nesting. He says "why are you even doing this now, the baby's not here yet".
Men are so disconnected from pregnacy that they can walk away and feel nothing. Its not real until they hold it in thier arms or even in my case until he sees how much like him she is. Yes men need to take care of thier children. But women really need to protect themselves and thier future children by not treating sex as a game and realize what is is... breeding. Dont open your legs for a man you don't want to breed with and who won't help you out when shit hits the fan. I'd like to sit and blame men but i can't. sometimes we women make bad choices. It's both people involved.
