[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived and worked in Boston up until recently. So many 40 plus, never married, educated and career focused women I knew just decided to forgo getting married or quit looking for a man and opted for a sperm donor instead. They have a nanny or 2 and see their kids on the weekend. I wonder if one were to compare their kids outcomes to a comparable heterosexual couple (upper middle class or higher, educated with careers) what the main difference would be if any. [/quote]

the main difference is they have more emotional resources because they don’t have to deal with a DH! only sort of kidding …

anyway, my neighbor just had a baby on her own and I’m pretty sure she’s going to be just fine. [/quote]

Those poor kids. Growing up with one older parent who couldn't manage to find one other person on the planet to build a life with. Let's hope there are a lot of cousins/extended family so that child is not isolated and completely dependent on that one adult.[/quote]

Kind of like a SAHM who lives away from family for her H’s job and he is hardly home, works late and when he’s home isn’t engaged?

They could find a person to build a life with just not a man child who isn’t equal. Raise better men if you want more marriages.[/quote]
