[quote=Anonymous]I want to echo PP--thinking about being a single mom is much scarier than actually deciding to do it. If you want to be a mother, it's much more stressful to watch one Christmas after the other go by without your child. Society makes single motherhood sound so awful--but the reality is, marriage is no longer reliable, with the rates so high. Most single mothers are not there by choice, and yet they don't regret their kids. I'll say it again--the child has a time limit biologically, the man, not as much. Sure it's harder when you're older, but it's already been hard by the time you're contemplating these options. I very, very much wish I'd done this at 35 rather than waiting till the end of my fertility. Much more heartbreak that I could have spared myself by knowing that I didn't need the full picture--BEFORE being over 40 forced that realization on me.[/quote]
