Single fathers are not deadbeat dads
By Eric CarrollAdvertising Mangager, The VOICE
A group that has been in the bad eye of the media is starting to get a new look. This group has gone from a small few to a new high and it's climbing. The group has been labeled Deadbeat Dads (DD) and though in the past there were cases that warranted the father being labeled a DD the label has not been removed.
More and more men are becoming single fathers, and not everyone's situation is the same. We have all been taught the birds and the bees, either in school or by our parents, yet our parents didn't mention that we may not stay with the person we had a child with. We learned about love and lost from the television before we were old enough to understand what like was.
We knew about Bill who lived down the street but wasn't able to join any sports teams because he would disappear every other weekend; summers were spent away from us and on holidays he couldn't tell you where he would be. But he always came back with gifts and exciting stories. And we ate them up and wanted our lives to be like Bill's. Unfortunately more kids today are getting that wish and the kids who grew up with Bill those 15 years ago are now living the other part, the part of Bills' father. We are an organization that is worldly known yet the majority of our meetings/outings are held in secret.
This is so we don't have to worry about the time we spend with our kids and we don't have our child's mother coming over to see what we're doing, so she can out do us the next time we deposit child support in her bank account.
The single mother is seen like Jonah when their in the relationship it's like being on the ship and when it's over they are in the belly of a whale, and that's where the comparison ends. I give single mothers their wanted fair shake. But if my daughter wants the last juice box and your son tries to head her off at the pass, you can bet I will step in and give my princes the juice box.
The numbers are incredible on the number of sites for single mothers and single fathers, at last count single mother sites on Google were counted at 2,060,000. Single fathers sites on Google were counted at 712,000 and the sad thing is most of those sites are there to find you someone to help you take care of your kid/kids, but their called single sites.
Why can't they be for scholarships or for advice or group contacts like the sites for mothers? Because the sites just want our money which our kids need and we are too busy working to go back to school and to spend time seeking let alone getting help.
One day single parents will be looked at equally and we will be seen for the threat that we really are. Because when my daughter becomes the President of the United States of America not only will she know how to put down any attacker by herself. The Secret Service will be guarding the juice boxes.
