[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I really dont want to be a walking pariah[/quote]

Lol. As I drop my lovely DD off at her NWDC private and head into my C-suite job, I’m going to remember that this lady with an oops pregnancy from an angry boyfriend called me a “walking pariah”. Keep it classy, OP. [/quote]

Amazing that someone can whine about being looked down upon while mocking a young woman in vulnerable circumstances asking for help. I guess it's a rude awakening that yes, many people will still view you with disdain when you're a single mom, no matter what kind of private school you bought your way into (and, friendly reminder, just because you paid for entry to the school, certainly doesn't mean youre accepted by the other parents there or treated with the same level of regard/acceptance). The harsh reality of that seems to be really upsetting many single moms in this thread which, if anything, makes it highly entertaining to watch. [/quote]

And yet this is “entertainment” to you. People always reveal themselves don’t they?

The only people disdainful of single moms are people with poor values (you’re a great example), or people who have not sorted through their own issues. The point of these posts is that in OP’s position, she needs to get her head right pretty quickly in the face of this pregnancy. Because side skirmishes in these types of threads are incredibly irritating, I would ask you to return the conversation back to the original poster who is requesting help. That’s what you’re so worried about right?

To the OP: the consensus on this threat is that women are judged. This is just true. Whether they work outside of the home, stay at home, are married, single, or otherwise. This is just the way the world works, most unfortunately. Your present circumstances are not predictive of a peaceful home for you and your child. Mothers need support, period. The best pathway forward is for you to consider who your community will be because you will need one. Above all, remember that while message boards like this can be feisty, a unifying factor is that we all care about our children, no matter what our origin story is. If you allow that to continue to guide you, your decisions will likely follow suit. Best of luck to you. [/quote]
