What a cute photo of Scott Baio’s baby

First off, I actually enjoyed the show. The only sad thing is that Scott Baio and I are about the same age!! Oh how time flies. Honestly, I thought maybe they made this show knowing how it was going to end. It is a reality show in reality show truth if that makes any sense. Does it matter to me, no. Sometimes I want to watch something lite and that what this was. Lite and entertaining. Suprisingly entertaining. Is it sad that they are having a baby and not married? Not when you look at what is going on in the world. Sad is the women who left her kids in the car to die and then stuffed them under the sink. If a child is loved and cared for, that can never be sad. It is when a child is discarded like a piece of trash, that is truly, undeniably sad.

I watched the show the 8 wks it was interesting but after last nights ending, it makes me wonder who gets pregnant by someone who clearly has commitment issues? You can not push anyone into marriage unless you want to be divorced a year later. Then to boot she adds a child on top of all of that. Makes me wonder.

This is my first visit to this site and I am amazed at the negative comments being posted regarding this subject. What does it matter if Scott and Renee are married or not? As long as Scott is commited to this child he has helped create,then that should be enough for now.

I was 28 years old and visiting my parents when I found out I was pregnant. My father thought that since I was not married and the fact that my boyfriend and I had just broken up, that I should not have the baby. This is one “mistake”, as many people call this, that saved my life and that of my fathers. I was on the road to distruction and my father was very sick and did not feel that he had to try and get better for anyone. That changed the day my daughter was born. Jamie Lynn was born in May of 1992. Prior to her birth, I last spoke to her father, whom I was not married to at any time, who lived 540 miles away in January of 1992. We had no contact for over 7 years. After receiving a letter from his mother who had just found out she had a granddaughter, her biological father and his family have been in her life for the past 8 1/2 years.

My husband, who I married when my daughter was 3, has been in her life since she was 1. She considers herself lucky to have two wonderful fathers who love her unconditionaly. It did not matter that I did not marry her father, the point is that he and his family are in her life now.

I guess my point in all of this is that you don’t have to be married to have a child. Yes, it would have probably made things easier at the time, however, I have no regrets over the decisions that I have made. It should be a personal choice and one that is happy, healthy and safe for both the child(ren) and the parent(s).

I was happy in the end to learn that Scott had decided, after his long, emotional journey to marry his girlfriend – and it was nice that he’s going to be a Daddy.

And, I’d just like to add that I understand why people who have never been married think that marriage is ‘just a piece of paper’. Unless you’ve actually been married – you aren’t in a position to realize that it is actually more than that. Marriage has the potential for adding a sense of stability to a relationship that is truly felt by the children who result from the union. While it is true that ever marriage is not always happy or lasting, stastically speaking, there is more of a likelihood of a lasting relationship when two people are married than if they are not; and that is always better for the children.

Whoever said the news of their child is “sad” needs to take their holier-than-thou moral-propaganda elsewhere. Just because you believe that it is unholy, against YOUR personal religion, or whatever you think — does NOT mean that everyone holds your beliefs. Many children are born to partners who are not joined together by an expensive piece of paper, (both heterosexual and gay partnerships). The reason that you are giving for this unborn child to be looked down upon says a lot about you as a human being.

Thank you, sincerely to all of the parents here, who were and are unwed and yet are loving partners and parents. Myself and my boyfriend just had a baby in our 40’s, that’s right our 40’s…I am 46, he is 47, after both of us having had unsuccessful marriages in our 20’s and children who had to suffer alongside us…Now, with our children of former partners grown and on our own we were blessed with a baby, surprisingly at that (the doctor originally thought I’d had a tumor and it was only later discovered, at 3 months gestation, that the “tumor” was indeed a baby, and me at 46!) when I thought I was ready for menopause…We have been together almost 9 years and our baby is, indeed, a gift from something far greater than ourselves who would never consider any part of our new family “sad”…..Renee seems sweet and intelligent and as Scott Baio is an “Virgo”, like myself, I know he will be a dedicated, devoted and loving partner and parent .

Scott was on live with regis and kelly today, there was no mention of a baby or renee, but he did make it a point to say the show has a good ending, and ends the way it is supposed too.

You can be a Playboy Playmate and keep your clothes ON??!! Huh??!!
