Well, gosh...where do I begin?

I'm a single mom. I mother and I work and I build pornographic and non-pornographic websites.

I get real damned tired of being completely responsible for the demise of morality. Frankly, I think that morality is no different than it was 20 years ago, 50 years ago or even 100 years ago. What has changed is our awareness of goings on.

I do feel that the next time one wants to jump into a tirade about how awful it is to be raised by a single mother, try this little experiment:

Every time you would use the term "single mother", try replacing it with the term "absent father".

See, cause even though there are a lot of wonderful men out there that are happy to be dads and even choose to be the custodial parent in a divorce type situation. The sad reality is, many many more men either bail out before the kids are born, or after the divorce. I don't mean financially, either. They bail out emotionally.

To be honest, as much as I love my child and find that having her is the greatest part of my life, I don't think I would stay at home even if I had a choice. I don't think being at home all the time makes you a good parent. Remember, Kitty Menedez was a stay at home mom.

I do find that I feel the need to be home more now that my child is in the teen years. I believe more monitoring is needed now that she is of an age where she's making her own choices and not parroting my views.

Man, this is a thorny subject. You're lucky you caught me between PMS times...:0}
