A Sad & Dangerous Trend
This report in The Boston Globe discusses the increase in the number of cohabiting couples who have children together without benefit of wedlock.
It's hard to understand what they are thinking. What is the point of staying unmarried -- unless, of course, it's just to make sure that it's easy to walk away from a commitment that became infinitely greater when the children were born?
Most of all, what is the point of denying the children the stability of a household where the parents are married? Is keeping one's "autonomy" and "freedom" that much more important than providing little ones with a hom headed by two parents who are committed enough to the family unit that they're willing to marry?

The children should own the home, and the parents can move out and then pay the nanny employed to care for the children. A real nanny state. Now if they marry no need for the above scenario. Which would cost less? I am old-fashioned, love, marriage then children. Worked for my parents and most others. Why change?
