[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like babycenter! That place is insane and makes me worry for the next generation. [b]No one is married,[/b] no one works (sah girlfriends?), and they have too many kids. [/quote]

I run in DCUM type circles and my partner and I are happily together but not married.[b] I guess good to know people are silently looking down on me[/b]? But then again who am I to judge judging because everything else described sounds quite trashy to me. Begging for money on the internet especially. [/quote]

Seriously? There’s literally no way you didn’t already know this before reading this thread. [/quote]

Being an unmarried couple with a child has always been taboo. This is not a new thing. And if you think people are looking down on you-you should think about your kid. My parents were never married and it was a constant source of anxiety and people definitely thought less of me. That is until we moved and I just told people my parents were divorced which was much more socially acceptable.[/quote]

np.  I disagree, it's not this way anymore.  if you are in a stable long-term relationship, i don't think people bat an eye.  in fact, how would anyone know?  I know lots of couples (same sex, different sex) and their kids, I don't demand to see a marriage certificate.  And married people can have different last names, like me.  I didn't change my name.

Unmarried PP here. We are in a nice, stable long term relationship, and I have never gotten a weird vibe if I mention we're not married. But I guess to some it is still a taboo! Meanwhile, the prime minister of new zealand gave birth while in office with her male partner, not husband. Also all of both of our siblings have been married and divorced at least once (some multiple times) so being unmarried doesn't really seem like too bad of a choice. [/quote]
