Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 In today's paper there were 58 births announced. 30 babies were listed with the mother & father having the same last name so I am assuming they were married 18 babies were listed with the mother & father having different names so I imagine the parents weren't married 10 babies were listed with no father's name at all???? 52% married 48% not married 17% no father listed Not that marriage is all that it was cracked up to be, but it seemes like the morals in this country are going to hell. Of course this is not surprising considering the actions of a lot of our elected officials and religious leaders as well. I just wondered how many of those babies will end up being on the welfare roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one under 40 seems to know anymore. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kermit Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 18 babies were listed with the mother & father having different names so I imagine the parents weren't married While your assumption is likely correct for the majority, at least a few of them could be a case of a married couple with the wife keeping her maiden name. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother of 3 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 While your assumption is likely correct for the majority, at least a few of them could be a case of a married couple with the wife keeping her maiden name. @ I was going to say that!! Or like in my case ~ I used a hyphenated last name for several years after I was married. I know that one of our children's birth announcements dropped the hyphenated name and it did appeared we were not married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Why is having a child out of wedlock immoral? It's certainly not smiled upon socially but calling it immoral seems like a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wondered how many of those babies will end up being on the welfare roles. My child was born in wedlock to myself and my husband who was an abusive jerk who is now my ex-husband. To assume that an unmarried woman with a child will just give up and go on welfare is insulting. I work my tail off to provide for my son-without any help from anyone. I think you probably have bigger worries in your own personal life than to worry about statistics in the paper, am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Stryker Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 There was also at least one baby born to a same-sex couple; there were two females listed as parents. So, they're not married. Their last names are different. Where do they fall in to your statistics? @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
