I'm sick of it!

I am sick to death of explaining to people why her dad isn't around! Its not my fault. I freaking tried, its not my fault he's an asshole.

The first thing people think when they find out I'm single is "oh she must have slept around" or at least that's the impression they give me. Uhhh, no. I was living with the guy, supposed to be getting engaged, in the middle of university. NO, I didn't sleep around.

I freaking LOVE how single mom = slut. LOVE IT.

I know, us women have to carry a lot, my mum had to carry stigma thoughout her 2 divorces, she ended up in a mother and baby home in the 60's and was forced to give away my sister at birth they made her feel like s**te! They were constantly telling her what a worthless mother she was, her family didn't help her out, and the father just ran. You don't have to keep explaining to people, just say you have your reasons, if they are a prat about it thats their problem, you have to have a face like flint these days! When my dad was violent to her, she went to a counciller and they told her to go home and grow up!

If anyone said that to me id ask them if they thought it was better for me to bring my child up in an awful relationship filled with lies and arguements sure they wouldnt have much to say to that x

im always gettin it as well :/
its even worse cos when erikas dad has her, hes with his gf, and no-one ever says anythin bad about him.
and im like "so its better for single parents to just jump straight in head first with someone else, to gain a bit of respect?"
its autrocious, 9 times out of 10 its the guys fault.

I hate this too.. Even more so because im young! They think typical young mum slept around and probably doesnt even know who the dad is. I always feel like explaning myself and saying i didnt plan for my longterm partner to cheat and run off, its not my fault im alone whether im young or not but i shouldnt have to explain myself! O welll...

I don't even understand why I these people ask me that. Honestly, it's a private thing and I'm ok to say 'I'm a single mom' but when they continue to ask it pisses me off.

Do I need to explain my private life to every Tom Dick and Harry?

I don't get why people think that either. I always think man that dad must be an asshole. Must be because my dad is King Asshole.

Tell them you're a lesbian and had sperm donated

the nerve of some people, what makes them think it's any of their business!

 

[Miss Lisa]

[xarlenex]

I must be lucky, no ones said or insinuated this towards me yet. I think i'd swing for them tho!
