Stop Casually Dating

As I’m leaving Kroger, I see a mother and father exchange – their child, who can’t be more than about 6 months old, if that. I’m reminded how men and women often—too often—hook up. They do so with no real intentions, stability, or future goals in mind. It’s all for a good time. Well, that is until a child comes into the picture. Then, the fun is over, and everything goes up in smoke.

Men, stop casually dating, getting women pregnant, and selling the dream only to NOT be what you claimed. Stop being the root cause of broken homes, one-parent homes, and fatherless children.

Women, stop being so easily persuaded. Laying down without protecting your body, heart, and life before you’re ready. Say no to having a man’s baby without truly knowing who you’re having a child with. Don’t fall for the man who is a smooth talker, wine and dines you, and smells or looks fly.

Let’s do better for the children we bring into this world. They deserve the best of both, and you simply can’t be that if you’re divided!

Somebody needs to hear this. Raising kids as a single mother or single father is NO joke! Shout out to all the single mothers and fathers out there!
