[quote=Anonymous]You just really never know what life has in store for you. I'm a single mom by choice, now having more health problems at 45 than I did at 40. But they're the sort of problems that could kill me tomorrow, or I could live to be 80 and die of something else. I'm still glad I had children, even though I sometimes get nervous about how many more years of decent health I will have to raise them. Meanwhile, a couple of my exes unexpectedly died young (late 30s/ early 40s), leaving small children and grieving widows behind. They were perfectly healthy. According to the actuarial tables, they should have outlived me. But they didn't. And the women who married them and had babies the old-fashioned way... ended up in the same situation as me, with just as little support, and the added burden of grief. Go ahead and live your life, OP.[/quote]
