Yes I can confidently say that I am. How, you ask?

I divorced their alcoholic rage dad and have 80% custody. The kids see clearly where his choices got him.

To the poster who said it’s like a vacation when her husband goes away- yes. It was like losing a 4th AND 5th child and so much easier to single parent.

I’m in the group who won’t marry again. With financial independence what woman would legally bind herself to a man?

SO yeah. Married people are happy, but should you become 'unmarried' you are more likely wanting to get remarried if you are a man.

There is a reason for that.

I think it's more likely more women will choose to just not have kids than run to the sperm bank at the first opportunity.

You'd be surprised.

The trend is actually more are going childless than SMBC.

Virtually 100% of the decline in U.S. fertility is driven by the falling TFPR, meaning that rising childlessness is the entire cause of falling U.S. fertility

Childlessness is rising in America, a rise that is unlikely to halt in the near future since rates of first birth are falling and rates of singleness are rising. Those falling first birth rates are due to a combination of rising singleness and declining nonmarital fertility

Hugh spike is relative. But clearly it's not enough to offset the rising childless by choice trend.

15% is a pretty big increase. But anyway, I'd suspect women who want kids will go the sperm donor route (sperm is incredibly cheap) and those who dont want kids wont have them. Pretty simple.

Again, it's relative. You're just going to keep ignoring facts and pushing this weird agenda that all women are rushing to the sperm bank instead of just forgoing kids all together which is why fertility is declining.

I have no idea, ask the PP who has been going on and on about how women are just going to have their own children when the point of the OP is women don't want a relationship. Nothing was mentioned about kids at all.

Well it certainly does affect women's willingness to be in a relationship. Given that sperm is pretty much the only thing that men bring to the relationship nowadays, the fact that it's easily and cheaply obtained by any woman who wants a child probably contributes to the rising lack of interest in marriage from women.

How is that ignoring it? Acknowledging other paths hardly changes the outcome.

No. That they can marry at 60 to a younger woman and father a child.

False. I know women who depend heavily on their husbands to run the household, raise the kids, cook, etc. while they focus on work.

This idea that just because someone is a woman means she is capable of doing it all is untrue.

Most do not need a man...... It doesn't mean some don't want one and some don't need one. But overall a woman does not need a man to survive anymore

You can’t be a “cool aunt” at 43

Right, that’s the age when the cool aunts become the cool SMBC whose nieces and nephews free babysit and who is in a place in her career to have a full time
Nanny.

It's not really a step up to be a SMBC. Nobody is envious of that person, doing it all alone, with a fatherless child. A nanny is not a replacement for a second parent.

Nannie’s are often better.

Women can have and raise babies without men, you make it sound like it’s impossible.

Of course it's possible. Never heard of a single mom before? But it's not desirable, at all. And no, a nanny is not a parent replacement. You must have a nanny if you think that to make yourself feel better.

It’s is desirable when it’s planned that way.

Not a replacement but better at providing support and not being a burden.

Most men are less helpful than a nanny/sister/grandmother.

Sadly, men are mostly missing or worse pouting about not getting more attention.

Remove him from the picture and life is much easier.

Please. It may be planned but any parent can attest to not really knowing what they were getting into. Doing it all on your own with no other parent to share the joys with is hardly desirable. It can be lonely, selfish, and a slog.

Most married women find raising kids with a man lonely, selfish and a slog.

they have one extra ungrateful child to care for and it pulls their attention from raising actual children. Men are contantly competing with their children for attention and it's like pulling teeth to get them to be a partner.... and those are the ones that are not working 24x7 to avoid home.

I know very few men who fit that description. Do you live in this area?

Hopefully, time will tell.

But my nephews who are old enough to be fathers took 3 months each paternity leave. They take off for sick days, attend teachers conferences, etc.

But realistically they have cleaners and someone does the yard work.

I think those 3 months go a long way of learning to father without anybody correcting them, learning on their own.
