[quote=Anonymous]Marriage is a mixed bag and might not be for you and I wouldn't feel bad about that. But I will say that if you are going to go the single mom by choice route, you need to make sure you have a good support system in place. Are your parents willing to be very involved? Or do you make a really good salary and can afford to pay for a full time nanny and other help? The ONE area where I really don't think marriage is overrated is that the world is not set up for single parents at all, and there is pretty much always an assumption that you have someone else helping you with kids. Even something small like having a spouse with a long commute can make things really hard because everyone assumes both parents are home by 6, so not having a spouse at all would be like that, but always. So make sure you have systems in place so you have some kind of back up and you aren't truly on your own. Parenting is a joy but it's also really hard.[/quote]
