[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have the education. You have the career. You have the money for a home and childcare. You have IVF at your disposal. You don't need men. [/quote] Please leave[/quote] No the PP, but what's wrong with this response?[/quote] Because you're robbing your child of having a father? B/c every single study done shows children do better in 2-parent households? Especially boys.[/quote] So let me get this straight. If I can provide a loving stable home for a child, I should not have one because the one thing I don't have is a partner? It would be better in your eyes to settle for a man, any man, then embark on this journey by myself? And when the marriage goes south, because I settled, it's better that the children live through divorce? Or maybe you think that I should have to have to suck it up and endure the marriage I settled for because I wanted children? Then again, what if he leaves against my wishes--you know because you can't control if someone wants to be in a relationship. [/quote] I'm not trying to upset you, but if you cannot find a decent partner who wants to live his/her life with you, then there is something wrong with you. And so no, you should not procreate and you should also not burden your child with your mental illness/personality disorder, esp. since will be no other co-parent they can turn to when you get too cray.[/quote] Np. Pp, I would love to know: how old are you? My guess is that you are older, from the time when unmarried women were seen as failures and old maids? Or maybe from a culture that still sees it that way?[/quote] I'm in my 40s and I am American. And no, I don't think unmarried women are failures or old maids at all, in fact I have tremendous admiration for those who buck the pressure to be mothers and pioneer their own paths. However, women who choose to be single moms -- as opposed to having it forced on them -- are nuts. And it is cruel to bring your child up without a father on purpose. And yes, I stand by the statement that if you cannot find one other adult who is willing to hitch his/her wagon to yours, there is something seriously wrong with you.[/quote]
