Dear Dr. Laura,
This morning, a story was posted about a newborn baby wearing a onesie that read "Mommie will you marry my Daddy?" The title of the article was "Sweet Proposal" and I was so disgusted that I had to comment on the page. I said that the family had the timeline of events all wrong. It's amazing how angry people became and suggested that I was imposing my standards onto others.
Actually, what's really amazing is that they think that "first comes love then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage" is an idea that I came up with out of the clear blue. I feel sorry for this child and for other children who are brought into families with uncommitted parents. What lessons about morality, self-respect, and commitment will they learn in their houses?
Thank you for continuing to encourage others to do the right thing. It's especially important in a world where the right thing is becoming more and more of an ancient tale rather than a present guide to how we live our everyday lives.
