• Cheater = good parent?

  So today's topic on the radio was the following:

  If you cheat, are you still a good parent?

  Some argued that when people cheat, they're missing something from the relationship with their significant other. They say that it doesn't change who they are as a parent.

  Some said that if you cheat, you risk destroying that relationship and leading to your child's unhappiness because his/her parents are not together and are usually found fighting. Eventually that child will find out that the parent cheated...then what?

  I do believe that if you cheat, your moral standing lose credibility in your child's eyes. I do think that you provide a poor example of a good role model. I've seen it too many times. Guys I know who have commitment issues have parents who cheated (or divorced). But then again, just because you cheat, doesn't mean you don't love your kids or can provide for your kids. So I really don't know if cheating = poor parents. I do know that cheating = poor moral judgment.

  My friend, recently divorced, gave the following reason for her decision.  She didn't want her child growing up to think that it's okay to be cheated on.

  TOPIC in some news article last week. There are more single women in California than there are married. It's not that women choose to be single. Of course we want to find that right man, it's just many of us don't want to settle. We have good jobs, good pay.....and sex (well you no longer have to be married to get it). Do you worry of being called a "slut"??? Although I'm sure there are people out there who pay too much emphasis on other people's private lives, majority of society doesnt give a cr*p if that girl is sleeping around. Seriously, as long as I'm not getting hurt by other people's actions (or other people aren't getting hurt)...then what's the problem? Then again, I'm just coming from the whole "it's ok for guys to sleep around, but not girls??" topic.

  I really have no point (lol)...I'm just thinking aloud.

  That's all I got for now. I went to a singles event last night....omg, seriously...the options for women in LA is slim to none!! Well...from the looks of the guys last night. I'm sure they are nice people...but omg...if anything, it told me I'm still to young to be going to these 'singles' event gatherings.
