[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do it your own. Raising a child is not easy w/a partner, much more difficult without one. This is coming from a divorced mom of one.

Also, if you go are thinking of going the sperm donor route, please consider how the child will feel abt your choice to not raise a child with a father. The early years may be okay, but things could go real left for you once middle school and beyond hits. [/quote]

You’re coming from the place of a divorced mom who had a bad marriage and has to deal with custody issues. It’s much easier to raise a child on your own than with a husband you end up divorcing. You’re not fighting with anyone. You don’t resent anyone, etc. You’re also not deluding yourself that at least your kid has a father figure every time you’re forced to interact with that ex when really you wish he would just disappear.

As for the child potentially being upset about having a sperm donor, that’s possible, but the same could be said for your child being upset with you down the road for getting a divorce or not giving him or her a sibling or for dating some guy he or she doesn’t like, etc. Some kids are grateful and happy and some aren’t. You don’t know which kind you’ll have, no one does.

Why are you allowed to make mistakes, but suggest a higher standard for OP?

The OP isn’t rich, but $95,000/year with one kid is very doable. Many children with two parents survive on much less. [/quote]
