Tonight programme. Manor estate

[monkey104 10]

On now, the manor has the highest rate of single female parent families in the UK.

Makes you proud.

[Expat owl 10]

At least they've shown a few good examples in Sheffield.

[monkey104 10]

That's what I was thinking.

[Pixie824 10]

That's because they move us all here!

[diamondjack 10]

my daughter is a single parent and lives on the Manor and whilst neither of them were by choice - she is now very happy with her life. She has got a good job, two beautiful children who are polite and well behaved, she has got very nice neighbours and says she doent want to move. Just because someone is a single parent and lives on the manor doesnt make them a bad person. No-one calls the men who often leave the household making it become a single person household

And without Dads to give guidance and discipline when needed I can see the Manor turning into a crime ridden estate ...

Wait a minute...it already is one.

i was a two parent family and i was the one generally who gave guidance and disicpline as their mother, their father didnt even though he was a fantastic father to them both

Are young girls driven by ambition to get pregnant?

 

Many deliberately get pregnant knowing it will get them a council property .

How did a post about the absent fathers program turn into 'young girls get pregnant to get a council house'?

 

I thought they gave a balanced view. Of the estate and actually made it look a lot better than its reputation would have you believe.

 

What was really a joke was they guy who thought that he wasn't an absent father because he bought them a birthday present and sent them a Christmas card! That's just teasing (I speak from personal experience). Either be around properly or get lost all together.

 

Its not DNA that makes a Dad, its instinct.

 

Glad my stepdad was brilliant and my granddad was awesome.

Are young males driven by the ambition to get a girl pregnant?

No it doesn't - That's just repeating another myth that gets repeated....and repeated.....and then many start to beleive it, like you.

It doesn't work like that anymore.
