[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single Mom  by Choice, and i adopted my daughter  Never married.  Getting married was never a  goal.

I love my freedom.  All decisions are mine.

I do like dating.  I am not a desperado looking to settle  for a 3rd-rate partner.  Once i turned 40 every guy i dated told me they finally felt like they are  not dating a women who was desperate for a husband/sperm donor. I had control of my life.  I was disappointed by 2 men in my 20s/30s whom I would have married, but seeing them years later i am so happy it did not work out.  Turns out one had been a secret alcoholic and another a womanizer.  Both of them were twice-divorced.  Glad i ended up not being one of the ex-wives. I loved them for sure; but they were terrible husbands.

Not a lot of money. [b] I had to continually ask my parents for some financial help. [/b]They basically said I was getting my i(small) inheritance in advance; which was fine with me.  I need a washer/dryer now, not when they are dead. But travel is important for me and i have taken my daughter all over the country and we have been to Europe 3 times, for 2 weeks at a time.  Hostels and 2-star hotels and rentals make it very possible.  Eating on the cheap.  Once you have the airfare, all is doable.

Life had been pretty free and easy.

My sister ended up a single mom via divorce. She is angry, bitter, depressed. Kind of  a nutcase.  She was depending on a man to give her a good life. It did not come to be. [/quote]

[b]Relying on your parents for financial help in your 40s doesn’t sound like all the decisions are yours.  Although it’s probably free and easy.

Not sure how you see yourself as so superior to your sister.[/quote][/quote][/b]

You sound very bitter.  You must be divorced.

I detect reading comprehension problems. (I am a teacher; I'm good at spotting these things.) I do not *rely*on my parents.  They give me great gifts like a new washer/dryer.  I bought a new car and my dad gave me a month's payment as a Christmas present. They paid my au pair's salary one month. Really thoughtful gifts like that.  Much better than a new sweater.

I wouldn't trade my watch-my-pennies life for  your bitterness for a moment.  Plus, my boyfriends  are hot.[/quote]

And you sound very defensive and childish in your insults. PP asked a legit question. Read what you wrote. Sure you don't rely on your parents. You just have to ask them for financial help from time to time. Yet you still want to come off as superior. [/quote]

PP went from continually asking her parents for financial help to occasionally getting great gifts which she no way relies on - She can afford anything she wants, obvi!

Spare us, PP. [/quote]
