[quote=Anonymous]Single mom by choice. First and only child at 41. If it was your first child, I’d say go for it. But you need to think about the fact that one of your children will have a father and the other won’t. That’s actually a pretty big deal. One child goes to the their dad’s house, the other doesn’t have a dad - but gets mom all the time. One gets Christmas presents from their dad, the other doesn’t. One has a second set of grandparents, the other doesn’t. And on and on. My only is very well-adjusted to the no dad thing now because that just is the nature of our family versus other families. We are a “mom and kid” family. But navigating that difference within your family between two siblings is no small thing. I’d discuss with a child or family therapist with experience with non-traditional families before proceeding. [/quote]
