[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time married women are having kids, they should only have the number of kids that they can raise if they have no husband.

So, one or two is the limit for most.  Why are these women breeding like sows? [/quote]
Stop it.  Any responsibility for the dad?  Or is that just 1 big part of male privelege?[/quote]

Look at Soviet and modern Russia.

Lots of male abandonment of mothers.

It's more normal there not to know your dad or not to have a dad than in US.

You could call it male "privilege"  but there's a lot of female biology behind why mothers are the ones keep children (more bonded with them, more altruistic as a gender).  Maternal grandmothers are also tightly linked in the support chain.

OP, the mother just needs to focus on getting financial support.

None of this is "fair".  It's just how things tend to play out.  The person with a conscience cleans up the mess (and that can be a dad in some cases).

The US does not have enough childcare supports for young kids.  That is part of why these problems become so miserable.[/quote]
