Mama's Baby, Daddy's Maybe

Why is it so hard for some women to be honest about who fathered their children? Even if the guy was a one night stand or looks like the Leprechaun, he is still your child's father. It saddens me to see young women who have slept around so much that they actually don't know who is the father of their children. We've all seen the Maury Povich show. You know the one where the girl has been on the show at least 5 times already and tested 12 men of whom none was her child's father. What gets me about that is how could anyone short of a prostitute actually sleep with that many men during her period of ovulation? It's disgraceful and I have empathy for the child who has to grow up and find out his mom was on national TV testing 20 men because she had no idea of his/her father was; talk about teasing. And then there are the women who swear on everything holy that the man they brought on the show is the father of their baby, in fact, they are 1000% sure...lol; only for Maury to announce that the guy is not the father. Now obviously this means that these women had to have slept with more than one man during the time she became pregnant, so why be adamant about who the father of your child is when you know there are other possibilities? Just be honest and save yourself the embarrassment.

It is true that a growing number of men refuse to acknowledge their children and do need to be exposed for their trifling ways, but please be sure the guy is actually the father before you bring him on national TV. Men get a bad rap for denying their children and most of them deserve it, but when the actions of women bring into question the possibility of there being more than one possible father, men have a right to wonder and not accept as true your word. For example, a young lady from my hometown became pregnant and at the time she was pregnant claimed one young man as the father of her child and even went as far as to list his name on the birth certificate. Then the next thing you know, she declares another man the father of the baby. So she has one guy paying child support and another thinking it's his child. This is ironic seeing that her mother did the exact same thing when she was born and her not finding out who her real father until she was 17 years old. It makes one wonder why she would then put her child through the same circumstances? I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

No matter what the motivation, women should not play games when it comes to who fathered their children. The child deserves more than that and perhaps if we were on the up and up, men wouldn't be so quick to deny a child. It used to be that a man would readily accept his woman's word that she was pregnant and he was the father. No questioned asked. He trusted her and didn't need any DNA test. Now its hard to even believe a woman when she says she's pregnant because so many women have used that ploy to try and keep a man. We now have to fight an uphill battle to regain the unconditional trust of our men. It's unfair to good honest women but we all, unfortunately, have to pay the cost for the ways of trifling women everywhere. But keep hope alive, maybe one day they will learn the error of their ways.
