Well I don't see why I should feel Isome edge over children born out of wedlock simply because my parents were marriedbefore I was born (my dadhad beenmarried to his wife for 10 years and my motherhad been married toher husband for 8). That was just my good fortune I guess.

But seriously folks, I have always been against the stigmatisation and derogatory references levelled at children born out of wedlock. Children have no say in who they are born to and as DrunkMonkey says it is destructive to brand the children in that way.

I am all for promoting the institution of marriage and holding it up as the 'ideal' institution for conceiving and raising children, but the children should not made to feel inadequate for the lack of such a union in their conception. Lambast the parents, if you must, but not the children.

There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!
