Blog Nine Response
Reminder--Absent Friday- Responding to other blog entries.
I read through these and I agree with many of them. The main things I saw is that when we are looking at mothers in our society we can't just look at what they do and judge them without knowing the background and all of the information. It is true that many mothers may not do their responsibilities and may need help, but some are misunderstood. Many do not have the resources they need in order to provide correctly for their family, like employment. It doesn't mean they are lazy but that they may not have what they need in order to succeed like others do. If mothers are trying to change they shouldn't punish them with taking their kids away from them, it could make things worse. Of course there are the situations where kids need to be removed from the situation because they cannot live there with the conditions or they are in danger. Labeling someone as a "bad mother" is not fair when everyone doesn't know the circumstances. In the end, what we need is more training and discussion to educate the young for the future so we don't run into so many unemployment problems, and so our society can prosper and live healthily.
