Martinsburg, West Virginia is a hotbed of gypsy culture and intrigue.

With their husbands constantly on the road for work, the women are expected to stay home, cook, clean, and raise the children.

When they're not busy doing household chores and working to look their best, they keep themselves entertained by involving themselves in each other's lives - whether they're welcomed or not.

first thing she does is stick a bottle of formula in the kid's mouth. Poor thing, babies are made to breastfeed. Give it a try before stuffing their mouths with crap.

One of these "away husbands" took my husband for $7,500 once while I was away from home for a driveway that washed away with the first rain. My husband had recently had brain surgery and a stoke during the surgery. I could not track them down, not that it would have helped if I had.

Baby boy needs a Daddy in his life. Little girls are resilient. Little boys are not. A bunch of women raising a little boy will only ensure he will grow up thinking women are there to cater to his whims. Since there is no father figure in his daily life, he will not know how to interact with women and treat them with respect, kindness, and love as an adult. He needs a Daddy to show him how to do this. Every little boy and girl deserve a father and a mother. If you cannot do this or refuse to, it would be in his best interests to let one of your married sisters raise him.

All children need good, decent people in their lives. I think one should be more concerned with the quality of parenting, and someone willing to go the distance with the children, not just quantity. There are some horrible people out there and wouldn't trust with houseplants let alone vulnerable babies and children.

Little girls need their daddies just as much as boys, maybe for different reasons, but we need our daddies. Women without daddies often seek love and strength elsewhere and it often leads to disaster because they don't have a good role model to let them know what a good man should be.
