I'd Give You an "A"

I liked this story. It actually gave me a warm and fuzzy at the beginning, but then got a little heavy. I'm glad everything turned out the way they did though.

Shame the women portrayed are stereotypical. I am curious to see the outcome of the police reports, not to mention the gun involved.

At least none on the single moms accused him of being a pedo.

This is part of the problem with the issues about family life in America. As much as it's easy to feel bad for guys caught in messy divorces, custody battles, and an overarching desire to not pay child support (or even interact with) children who he didn't want in the first place, the result of that act is often to leave a bunch of kids in the lurch.

The blame lies in both men and women, and of all races and classes. It's no more useful to simply say "men should take responsibility" than to say "men shouldn't be responsible for children he didn't want" (one reason I've come to disagree with "financial abortion" (a measure I supported only a few years ago) is the harm to the innocent child). Are there mothers who deny their exes access to their children? Absolutely. Are there men who are derelict of their duties as fathers? Absolutely.

We need to figure out a way to deal with this problems that doesn't fob responsibility and blame on either men or women exclusively.
