What someone like Aniston neglects to mention is that it is much easier for someone in her financial situation to be a single mother.

Look aniston is a freaking moron. I was never a friends fan and never got this woman’s appeal. Frankly Brad Pitt was right to kick her to the curb and trade up to Angelina Jolie who can actually act and isn’t just a life sized barbie doll.

She should go into the no spin zone and defend her comments or forvever hold her insipid peace.

And really if people are taking advice from Anniston they might as well listen to what Danny Bonanducci has to say.

Sad celebrity worlds indeed.

Glynnis, the segment this was in is called, “culture warriors”, so whether or not you think it’s relevent, it is. I think this is a great conversation to have. As a single mother (not by choice), I can tell you it’s not glamorous, it’s hard as h*ll. If I didn’t have so much support, I could never do it. Luckily, my son is blessed with many great male’s around him to fill the void. A solid 2 parent family is what’s best for a child, in my humble opinion. To each thier own though.

Most young girls probably don’t pay much attention to what Aniston says while promoting her movies. They’re more likely to get the message from the movie itself. I think it’s all situational. One good parent is better than two bad ones. Parenting isn’t one-size-fits-all. However, being a single mother is one thing if you’re Jennifer Aniston and another if you’re Jane Doe.

Countless studies show that traditional family settings – mother, father & extended family – provide the optimal environment for well-adjusted progeny.

This is not to say that variations on that ‘ideal’ will not result in similar outcomes for any given child, just that the traditional family setting is, empirically speaking, the ideal circumstance for the overwhelming majority of children.

The single biggest problem worlwide is irresponsible childbearing. That is, a parent or parents either unable or unwilling to provide a nurturing environment for their offspring, yet – for whatever reason! – having children, nonetheless!

The classical music short, Disney’s “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, illustrates this point to a tee – Watch It!!
————————————————-
Single motherhood may be feasible given Jennifer Aniston’s life-situation, but she shouldn’t be promoting it as a parenting ideal – science has already shown that NOT to be the case!!!

Studies show that the children of gay and lesbian parents do just as well and grow up just as healthy as those of heterosexual parents. Also, a 2004 study by Cornell University states that “being a single parent does not appear to have a negative effect on the behavior or educational performance of a mother’s 12- and 13-year-old children.”

BOR’s indignation seems to be highly selective.

A two mother household for Mary Cheney? Well, that’s fine. Brisket Palin getting knocked up and dropping out of school sans husband? What’s the problem? Ms. Aniston? Watch out for the tunderbolt.

My 12 year old is a straight A student, do I think that’s true. I think they can grow up just fine with one good parent, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be better off with two parents. Even with many strong male role models in my son’s life, I still feel like he’s really missing something in not having his father around on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I think our society has determinded that the family isn’t that important. That’s pretty evident these days.

I’m sure you have stressed the importance of studying hard and getting a good education, and that is vital, surely one of the most important responsibilities a parent has.

There’s a difference between politically-motivated extrapolations of annecdotal occurrences, and decades-old studies of empirical data on various child-rearing environments.

The traditional family is a choice. The non-traditional family, another choice. Sometimes circumstances dictate that choice, but who is to say, “scientifically”, or otherwise, which choice is better. The traditional choice has in no way been abridged in this country. All that has happened is that people are more free to make a different choice. And the hard core right wants to prevent that different choice. In a free country, that is nonsense.

Out here in the real world, anybody can see it’s all how mature the parents are.

“a 2004 study by Cornell University”. Okay, mind telling me how many of those kids had single parents that just got divorced, or were kids of single parents for a period of time? Plus what happened when those 12 & 13 year olds grew up to nine-teen year olds? Who left the nest in fine shape and who has kids of their own and still living home?

The more mature the home whether it be straight, gay, single whatever the child has a better chance of making it.

NORBIT said: “extended family – provide the optimal environment for well-adjusted progeny.”

No doubt it does, but again it gets down to the ‘maturity factor’.

And one can sit on their front step and look out into their own neighborhood to see what I’m saying, don’t need no study for that.

This is common knowledge, whether you want to live in denial is your choice. From a recent Time article stating headlined Children of Lesbians May Do Better Than Their Peers”

“Although previous studies have indicated that children with same-sex parents show no significant differences compared with children in heterosexual homes when it comes to social development and adjustment.”

Well Val, the left wants people to think the father isn’t important because the gov’t will act as your father and take care of your every want and need.

In reflecting on my own child-rearing days, and I will confess I am terribly proud of the successes my children are, in their education, manners, personal lives and careers, I really agree with this Michelle-in-Utah. To be sure, there are times this simply isn’t possible, but males tend not to be as verbally communicative as females, and male communication disproportionately includes joking around (which is both a positive and negative, at times). So much of what passes from father to son is simply being together and doing things together. Simple things. Washing the car. Working in the yard. Painting. Building shelves. Playing catch. Shooting hoops. That type of thing. Skills are passed on, but so are attitudes and behaviors. A good portion of every serious conversation my son and I have ever had was during or in conjunction with such activities, and those conversations were impromptu.

Perhaps that her mother trotted Brisket out into our living rooms throughout the campaign and since, and that Brisket now personally intrudes upon our lives constantly. And, she is foul-mouthed and obnoxious when she does so. So, I am providing a service here. I want young woman to know that Brisket is not what you want to become. Having said that, I do have to add I am not without sympathy and understanding. Brisket is the product of some the poorest, most neglectful parenting many of us have ever seen.

I understand that Paul, and I completely agree. The fact is that poor, neglectful parenting is bi-partisan and it cross ideological lines. The good news is that if you speak with long-time, career educators, they will tell you that the children of those who came of age in the 70′s and the children of those who came of age in the 90′s are more similar to one another than those who came of age in the 80′s. The “Me Generation” parents seem to be far worse than their predecessors and successors. Of course, that is a generalization. As with all such generalizations, those who fit the rule don’t significantly outnumber the exceptions. Still, I think we are in a time of hope for our future.

When I was a kid, I was brought up around other kids of similar social and economic situations. It would’ve been hard to imagine people who, due to generations of poor breeding and inbred jealousy, are such small and petty people as to have to stoop to licking urine out of the gutter in order to make themselves feel better. Every time I see stuff like this, I wonder what it would be like to talk about Obama’s kids in such a disparaging manner. I’d feel like shit about it, but hey, I guess I was raised with a little bit more compassion than you were. Certainly more tolerance.

Why bother? It sounds like you’ve been asleep all your life or living in a bubble, just love how you can’t debate and just use flip off answers. Why how enlightened you are. How so much more intelligent you are.

I think it’s all about maturity in the parents, but since Paul thinks that it’s not “constructive’. Then one would asume that it’s okay for Parents to act like their kids and the household will be okay.

Paul is that what you really think, or is it because you haven’t found a ‘study’ to tell you how to think?

Now I’m sure there are people on this site that have raised good children and I’m sure they will agree with me that ‘Maturity’ played a significant role in parenting.

But of course you think that’s (how you say?) ‘unimportant.

That being said, I reiterate my earlier response, and categorically refute the supposition that this is “common knowledge”; but I will agree there is a level of denial present!

There are always extraneous circumstances to consider in any child-rearing environment, but all things being equal, it’s hard to deny the plethora of evidence over thousands of years of civilization, that the traditional family unit is the most effective.

Now, in future years, there may be longitudinal studies that show other family forms to be as equally effective…but that is certainly not in evidence today.

He does stuff like that because it makes him feel better about himself to speak of a young girl like that. And what he regarded as a whore he, judging by the content of his character, was probably a client to.

When I was a kid, there weren’t any pregnant girls in my school. Not one. Oh, we heard rumors from time to time of a girl who got pregnant, and we might not see a girl we once knew from our class. That’s because getting knocked up as a single teen girl was a shameful thing, and if that happened, you were sent off to some distant aunt out of state.

Kind of a catch-22, isn’t it? Back then, society looked down their nose at young, unmarried mothers, yet because of that, there were _far_ fewer of them, and we didn’t have nearly the strain on the social welfare system that we have today. Once liberals passed Roe v Wade and abortion started being used as birth control, it became okay to get knocked up, hell, you can just vacuum the kid out later. Problem is, many girls, once pregnant, had second thoughts, and decide to keep the kid. We then wind up with so many young, single moms that they’ve now become a political bloc demanding special favors and more social welfare, and within a generation you have most of the population acclimated to single women hauling around kids. Between the free food and other goods and services available to them, it’s a huge strain on the taxpayer, and to have celebrities, who can easily afford to have kids raised for them, to tout this sort of single mom nonsense is irresponsible.

JA can’t even keep a man let alone a child. I’m sure she thinks having a cook, a maid, a butler, shopper and a nanny is what people mean by raising a child.

I wasn’t the one who initially claimed to have studies on my side. I was pointing out the fact that many studies indicate there is no difference when it comes to when it comes to children of same sex children and social development and adjustment compared to children of heterosexual children.

That is also what I think. I can’t wait to hear what the beacon of maturity and constructive discourse thinks.

This is just BillO’s way of saying he’d enjoy an evening of falafels with Ms Aniston, That’s really all there is to this.

So liberals decreed it ok to get pregnant while a teenager. My sisters never got the memo. Fascinating analysis. Ugh and those damn single moms demanding special favors. If only it was deadbeat dads asking for special favors. They deserve them.

paulmdoro said:

It’s called unintended consequences. Yes, liberals made it easier for teen girls to justify unprotected sex.

paulmdoro said:

Thank you for making my point for me. More unintended consequences.

By the way, my first wife managed to rack up over fifty five thousand dollars in child support arrears, something that support enforcement could care less about, at least back then. I never saw one dime of child support, and the deck is stacked pretty heavily against men, in this regard.

What is a lib?

A lib is a person who watches a 13 year old girl perform live sex acts on stage and worries if she is being paid the minimum wage.

A Progressive?

He’s the one having sex with the underage girl.

I agree that the deck is often stacked against men in family courts, but at the same time there are so many deadbeat dads out there. They make it so easy for guilt by association, right or wrong.

Teenage girls did not need liberals to justify unprotected sex for them. Teenage girls didn’t suddenly start having unprotected sex after Roe v. Wade after years and years of waiting until marriage or using protection. That’s just absurd and has no basis in reality. I’m sure you’d like to believe that so you could demonize liberals and feel better, but teenage girls have been having unprotected sex for a very long time and don’t base their decisions on what political parties do.

Actually paul, the judge that just ruled that a muslim man couldn’t be convicted of raping his wife due to his religion, was a lib, so it would appear it’s he libs that condone rape. And let’s not forget Whoopi who said that it wasn’t rape, rape, what roman P did to his victim. Another lib. But if you can point to a conservative that’s condoned rape, I’d be happy to listen.

It was just reported in a major magazine article that Newt began his relationship with his HS English teacher when he was 16. He eventually married her, cheated on her, divorced her, fought over a modest alimony, married the person he had been seeing for years, then cheated on that wife, divorced her, fought over an alimony, then married the much younger woman who he had been seeing. Fortunately, he converted to Catholocism.

Newt is a major spokesperson for the family values crowd, and the conservative movement. Imagine the impact he has, the influence. But he is a fraud. If Jennifer Aniston purports to be a role model for those who choose to be single mothers. What is wrong with that? Is there something wrong with that choice? Why? The right wing, especially the Christian right component, wishes to deprive people of the right to make that choice without ridicule or condemnation from those supposed “Christians”, who oppose choice and celebrate intolerance. Gays, or single mothers, or babymommas, or people who just stay single, all have a right, and there is nothing wrong with celebrating those choices. Everyone understands that the basic Christian ideal on marriage is available, as a choice. But the greatness of America, as a secular nation, is that we are not bound by religious dogma in making our choices, and there are several other options to choose from. Criticism of Aniston over this is such a laugh, especially since in the next room there is Newt primping himself for his next appearance before 3 million people.

I’ll take 2 good parents over one every time. BTW SHE’S TRYING TO SELL THE MOVIE!!!!

That would be a solid choice.

This is typical FOXnews propaganda. FOX attacks anything that is out of the norm or different. So of course O’Reilly is going to attack what Aniston said. Sure it’s free speech so he’s got the right to say what he wants regardless of it being truth. But she’s got just as much right to say what she feels as he does or anyone else for that matter so really who cares?

Furthermore I am so sick and tired of celebrities getting so much press. They are nothing and not important. This isn’t even news to begin with. FOX needs to get with the program and focus on real news not on entertainment news.

Finally if this was a man saying what she said FOX would have nothing negative to say. But since it’s a woman they typically are going to find fault in it.

I’m going to take the Royal King approach. Since I myself have never encountered Ms. Aniston, that means she doesn’t exist.

Lefties,

Ask Jen Aniston how her take on single-woman pregnancies is going over in the inner city black communities, where single-parent moms account for 80% of new births!

How’s the unemployment, crime and general social malaise doing in those areas, after an epidemic of out-of-wedlock births?

What’s the pampered, self-indulgent, Hollywood actress’ take on that?

Lots of ad hominem here, whew! I think it’s great that women no longer need to be stuck with men if they want to have a child. Puts things a little more in balance. After all, how many men father children and then disappear never to support their children emotionally or financially? The answer: LOTS! At least single women who choose to have a child usually remain the child’s main support and parent. I do not, however, support any person, male or female, creating a child that they cannot support. It’s criminal to bring children into a life of squalor and despair. If that means poor women, or men, shouldn’t have children, so be it. Let them lift themselves from poverty before they impose it on a new human.
