The Pattern of Single Parent Homes
It seems like every time you turn on the television you see a commercial from a clinic asking if you want to have a DNA test or have you had bad DNA tests. I don’t remember when I was growing up that this topic of DNA testing was so freely talked about. Sometimes I feel like I grew up in the Stone Age, because the only people were talking about DNA testing were doctors who were looking for cures for cancers and other diseases. Now it is a common question that people are asking when it comes to who the father is of a child. When I was in high school if a girl got pregnant outside of marriage, generally everyone assumed it was by her boyfriend. Most people didnt think it was necessary for her to have a test to prove this. But I guess times have change and ladies and gentlemen are more active in their sexuality and have more partners when it comes to sex and it is necessary to have these tests to prove who the father is. I never thought I would be someone who would be pushing the old method my parents pushed when it came to not getting pregnant. Abstinence is still the best way not to get pregnant. But I know that is not the popular way, how not to worry about who the father of your child is. Because everywhere you look there is someone saying that it is practically unavoidable to have sex before marriage? I guess they think humans just can’t control that aspect of their lives. I do think that society has helped put this misinformation out there too. The last I checked no one died from being a virgin until they were married. When you have television shows that center their entire episode on proofing who is and who is not the father. They make it a sport and something funny and fun to watch, when in reality it should be something that you handle privately with you and the doctor. You really should be ashamed that you are so active sexually that you don’t know who the father of your child is. Then you should be so worried that you picked a man to have this type of a relationship with and that you have to prove to him that it is his child by taking a test, because before the test he didnt want anything to do with the child. In all of these situations the child is the one who suffers. The child doesn’t have a stable life with two loving parents and has a much better chance of becoming a single parent too. The pattern tends to go on for generations.
