This has been on my mind so I feel the need to briefly address this issue after what I heard earlier riding Marta. Two young women probably between the ages of 19 – 23, were having an OPEN detailed conversation regarding their children and their 3 and 4 “Baby Daddies” loud enough for everyone on the train to hear. Yes, I said 3 and 4 Baby Daddies! I found it dreadfully repulsive, sad, and a complete turn-off how these young women boasted to each other about having multiple men father their children with no shame. Is having baby after baby by different men becoming the norm in our society? What happened to self-respect, self-esteem, morals, and values? It is distressing when I hear young women disclosing the fact that they had or have babies with multiple men; as though it’s something to brag about. I am fully aware that out-of-wedlock pregnancies occur and will continue to occur but when do [you] stand and take responsibility for yourself? Would you rather keep putting your “babies” in hindering and disadvantage conditions by continuing to have baby after baby with different men? I understand the fact that some of these young women are in committed relationships overtime with these men, but to have a consistent pattern of different men fathering your children is ridiculous.
Please note; I am not in any way passing judgment on anyone who falls into this category, nor am I trying to be bias to the situation. I am aware that the same can be said for some men out there; I'm more so stating my personal opinion on this particular situation that occured.

Women do not use Commonsense anymore.... morals, dignity, values and goals...shot down the drain...
I used to feel like you. Then it happened to me. I was in three very committed relationships and three very beautiful children. I chose not to abort my children. I am proud of that. I am not proud of the stigma attached to me and my children but what can I do? People are going to judge. Nevermind the fact that I molested at the six and my father walked out of my life at eight. Is that an excuse, no. Is that a fact and a probable cause for my behavior, yes. I think frank and open discussion is needed for this "trend" to cease. Discussion not judgement.
