There are so many young girls and young adult women that are having babies without being married. Times have changed and women today are a lot more capeable of taking care of their children on their own as a single mother, but why would they want too? It's hard enough to make a marriage work and take care of your family, so to do it without being married is just insane. Being married and then having a baby does not always mean that the dad will be there 100%, but at least if you're married you have more of a chance that he will be. Having a baby without being married is a lot more difficult. When the baby is born you can't put the dad's name on the birth certificate, he has to sign it, unless you're married, then you have the authority to put the dad's name on it. So if for some reason the dad refuses to sign his name on the birth certificate, you will have to go to court and have a DNA test done to prove who the dad is, then his name can go on it. And getting child support will be much more difficult to get if you're not married. Getting health insurance for your baby through the dad's insurance is one of the most difficult things to do if you're not married. All these benefits that your child should be receiving can be delayed if you're not married, because you will have to prove that the baby's father really is the father. So it is easier to be married, and then have children. And i'm not saying that if you get pregnant, then you should get married to have all the benefits. I'm saying that you should wait until you're married to start a family, or you should use the proper protection to prevent pregnancy. Girls, women and men these days take having unprotected sex to lightly. Using protection doesn't only prevent pregnancy, it can prevent a lot of STD'S. So be responsible and use protection, for your own protection.

Live life to the fullest
It is not easy taking care of a baby especially when you are a single mother.My mum did an excellent job but most of the time mothers are unable to take care of their kids because they are busy or something of that sort.It is definitely essential to have a father figure.
