CarolC, Like I said before, ..'preferably with her husband'.. who loves her. That is the most responsible way, agree? Why short step, and go for anything less, than the real thing?? I think we can all agree to that. Besides, its not good for children to see, either (single) parent, have a parade of different 'lovers' come and going, then asking them, 'Umm, How do you like this person, for a dad(mom)? or Do you like 'Freddy, more than 'Mickey'? Children are not capable, nor should it be foisted upon them, to pick their 'parents', I think that is self obvious. Other than that(not that there is any contention), I agree with you, in regards to 'more responsible'
