We still think of the archetypal unwed mother as a Jamie Lynn Spears—a dopey teenager who dropped her panties and got in over her head. A generation and more ago, that’s who most unwed mothers were. But according to the most recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control, teenagers account for only 23 percent of current out-of-wedlock births. That means the vast majority of unwed mothers are old enough to know what they’re doing: Unwed births are surging among women ages 25 to 29. In the last 50 years, there has been an extraordinary decoupling of marriage and procreation. In 1960 about 5 percent of births were to unwed mothers; that figure is now a record high of nearly 40 percent . Out-of-wedlock births used to be such a source of shame that families tried to hide them: Singer Bobby Darin was born to a teen mother and raised to believe she was his sister. But now out-of-wedlock births are greeted with a shrug. Some say they’re an understandable response to economic ...

Everyone, let’s give Niurka Ramirez a hand as not just mother of the year, but SINGLE mother of the year who hosed her 2 year old at a car wash and now is trying to explain it away and LIE and say she did not say half the conversation that was clearly overheard by the attendent. Wow, when caught lie. She is catching on fast to the American Way isn’t she?? Let’s not forget this SINGLE mom is also pregnant again. I wonder where the father is of the child? And what did the mother of her two year old think and why hasn’t he come forward for custody? Even if he was a crack smoking terrance biggums he would be a better father, baring the fact he hasn’t stuck any children in microwaves or ovens for being late to dinner or playing too long with their friends. Anyway the way she contended with her child reminded me of the way members of the Martin Luther King Jr’s freedom marches were greeted with rubber hoses and the water turned on them, which is probably where she got the idea from, that is ...

Por eso, Nada.... When it comes to teaching about successful marriages, one size does not fit all. As the nation becomes increasingly diverse, the way marital happiness is addressed becomes more complex. In the past, marriage education tended to treat everyone the same. New research on successful Hispanic marriage indicates this approach may have flaws. Linda Skogrand, Extension family and human development specialist at Utah State University, conducted research that focuses on the strengths of Latino marriages. “One of the main things we found is that Latinos in our study are much less likely to think of the marriage as something separate from the family,” Skogrand said. “Whereas non-Latino marriage enrichment might focus on spending more time as a couple, this probably isn’t the best approach for Latino couples. The children need to be part of the process.” In Latino marriages, family affiliation is so important that “parenthood” is considered to be more important than ...
