[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking to someone who desired a husband/ partner more than children. Essentially she wants to be a mom but will forfeit this for a romantic relationship.  For me, I always wanted to be a mom more than to have a partner. Of course, I wanted both but motherhood was my main objective. It may be cultural but I felt that the bond between a mother and a child outlived most romantic relationships. I also feel like marriage was a way to become a mom in a stable environment. What about you all?[/quote]

It was more important to me to be a mom. I had minor kids at home for more than three decades. Although I’ve always worked and had other fulfilling roles, I am at my center a mom. It’s going to be so weird having an empty nest this fall. I’m remarried so DH and I have never had this time alone.

A good friend from college gave up kids (her words) to marry her extremely wealthy husband. She’s from an UC family of four daughters, but the only sibling without kids. I don’t think single parenthood was an option for her. [/quote]
