Fatherless Future... Posted: 12-18-04 15:04pm
My whole life I was raised without a
father, but im not quite sure how to raise
my baby without a father, especially if
it's a boy! Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to tell my baby why he
doesnt have a father figure when the time
comes?
Hun your child will love you anyways. I
too will have a fatherless child and my
plan is just to tell them the truth that
their father chose not to be there. They
do have a father in god though and I will
teach my child this as my mother taught
me. I will find a man one day that will
love me and my child and show my child
what a real father can be and is. If you
ever need to talk hun I am here. I am
sure you will be a great mother and
father.

One way to compensate for this is through
the "big brother big sister" program,
which is designed to provide such a
balance in situations such as is facing
you and your child. Here is their

Thank you for instilling such confidence
in me I just hope that my baby will
understand that he is better of not
knowing his father, but that this does not
mean he doesnt love him. I never really
cared about my dad but if I have a son im
worried that he will have problems in the
future. I am going to check out the big
brothers and sisters thing, that is a
great idea, thanx!!!

Don't worry about not having the father
around. My baby boy isnt gonna have his
dad around. I dont want him around. When
its time to tell your son why his father
is not around im sure you will figure out
what to tell him. And im sure he will
understand what and why he isnt around.
Just teach him to love and how to take
care of women so he doesnt take not having
a father around out on his future
girlfriends. Thats what I plan on doing
and I pray im doing the right thing. Us
single moms are the best mother and father
a baby can ever have. Hope everything
goes good with you and your son.
