[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I must be weird because I loved it when I was single with my daughter. It gave me strength to have someone and get away from a spouse I couldn't stand. Honestly having kids is the best thing, they are your blood, your family...whereas a spouse is not. I don't get where women complain how hard it is because imo much harder to have to compromise with a spouse who might not have your children's best interest like you do. If I had to do it over again I would have had one more.

I think women are too needy in terms of men, therein lies the real problem...not the kids.

Did I write this PP?  I honestly don't think it's all that hard doing it all myself. I think it is easy if you have always done it yourself like me. It is probably harder to have a partner and then end up on your own. I feel sad how so many of my friends are so dependent. I am not saying all wives are dependent but some of my friends are flat out miserable with their spouses but they just can't leave. They have created a situation where they are so dependent that they really can't leave. [/quote]

Let's not turn this into bashing other women.  I'm divorced with kids and by nature am a loaner, so am happy just having my life revolve around my kids.  I do, however, understand that other people are more social and might want to be in a committed adult relationship.  That doesn't make them needy or dependent.  [/quote]
