Yup, it’s just your circle of friends. The fact that 2% of women went down this road 30 years ago, but now it’s 10% – I’m just throwing out numbers – still makes it the exception, rather than the rule. Again – look around – this is still rather unusual. Don’t get me wrong – I love it – but it’s still the exception. When more than 50% of all women are having children and not wanting child support, then we can talk about what the exception is and what the rule is. Until then…[/quote]
Apparently two women Piggs running in different circles have the same experience. Not saying Piggington doesn’t get exposure, but it is limited and here you have two fine examples of what’s out there. Perhaps it is your circle that continues to suffer from this dilemma.[/quote]
Alright, then tell me… give me your best guess… what percentage of women with children under the age of 18 are (1) unmarried, and (2) want no financial support from the father (note: not RECEIVE no financial support, but WANT no financial support)? I’m betting that I can dig up the “receive no financial support” number and then we can back into a reasonable “wants no financial support” number. But, I’m curious, what’s your guess? 60%… 40%…? I’m betting the number is under 10%. And I think I’m giving myself a pretty large margin of error.
