We all know it is very hard to be a single mother, especially these days. I'm sure there are other single mothers on here. I figured we should start a support group. Maybe meetings or parties for the kids.

This has been a Krallum presentation.

^^^ I don't know who the hell you are, but I don't appreciate you making up things about me. Also, I am not a mug, I don't have boys, and Krallum is not a mane. Learn some English.

I almost made a CSI 4 pane meme for this thread something along the lines of:

Away Voice: Say David Caruso, did you hear about this thread?

Caruso: Yes, I did.

Caruso: Sounds like someone...

Caruso: Just cast the first stone.

YYYYYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH

It was funnier in my head.

If you look at demographics, single mothers are basically taking over the world. Most of us (having been to college) probably had 2 parents, but in a decade or so the majority of kids will be single-parent kids.

which is a terrible thing.

I thought this thread was about double mothers.

I think 75% of kids will be raised by a single parent in the near future.

I don't see how trying to create a support group is not a lounge worthy thread. Its not my fault people bring my shitty chit chat posting into the lounge. This is why tww is dying. Fuck the Mods. End the fed. Ron Paul, Bill Stills 2012

^Love the way you tied that all together at the end. Legitimate lulz over here.

The human race couldn't continue itself if not for irresponsibility.

I'm getting closer to convincing myself that if people only reproduced when they had a relatively stable 2-person household with stable career(s) then the human race would just end.

Now, I don't follow pop culture very well, so correct me if I'm wrong. But to the extent of my knowledge, Beyonce would would unambiguously not fall into the single mother category.

4/15/2012 3:55:53 PM

yeah but that gif is from the video Single Ladies

4/15/2012 3:59:55 PM

Umm responsible people do this, that's why we are being replaced by ignorant people who just fuck for fun without thinking of the consequences.

And then we are all like fuck yeah pulling down 200k a year between the two of us... Wait what the fuck we are pushing 40 and it's nearly impossible to conceive now... Shit wish we would have just had bunches of unprotected sex years ago.

Total fertility rate has to be a good bit above 2.0 for population to be stable. I don't mean grow, I mean just keep the same number of people for the next generation.



Ok, and as a proviso, the USA is a mix of a college-educated population living a Western Europe type standard of living, and then red American which can barely be called a 1st world country. Plus, we even average in a huge population of immigrants that live like poor people. In spite of this, we still fall below replacement rate.

If you compare the population of the US that can use a computer with entire nations of the developed world, birth rates fall FIRMLY below replacement. I'm not talking about 1.1, 1.2 fertility rate. That means

1 generation = population halves

The problem isn't whether or not you can point to educated parents will full families, the problem is that I can point to a childless adult for everyone you find. The idea that sustainability of population is consistent with affluence is plain wrong. It's just not. I'm not really saying it's oh-so-terrible of a thing, I'm just being factual.
