single-parent-now -then

   Now I don't know which one is harder being a parent now days or being single.  I know I would not have wanted to be both a hundred years ago.  I wonder if parenting was easier?  How about dating? How bad could it be to have a man or young man come to your house and ask if he could court you or your daughter, better yet have someone ask for your hand in marriage to the elder male in your life. Now most parents don't get to know their own child let a loan the person they are spending a lot of time with.  As a parent I fear a lot of things predators on and off line, fast girls, bad boys, drugs, alcohol, fast food, fast cars, fucked up schools system and a list that goes on and on. As a single person wow that list is even longer.  I feel as if people have forgotten how to be human.  We don't take our time to get to know ourselves, each other, have compassion for one another, lend a helping hand.  We are all  in a hurry to get nowhere.  I would love to find a guy that cared enough about getting to know me as he did about getting into my pants.  I would find it refreshing for a guy to ask if he could court me and understand what is meant. I am not saying to turn back the hands of times, but maybe bring back some old fashion values.  Show our children what made us grate so that they can become better.
  Just my thought take or leave it
