[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:37 - I don't know about "stupidest life strategy" but if that poster is serious about having a kid on her own, she will effectively be choosing a kid over a partner, at least for a few years.

Most of the women I know who chose to have a child on their own are still single and rarely date.  Because there is only so much time in a day/week, and if you're spending a lot of it being both mother and father to a child, it doesn't leave much time for finding a guy or keeping a relationship going.  If you're doing all the wake-ups and bedtimes, all the drop-offs and pickups, all the activities and homework and housework and still trying to stay in shape and see your friends once in awhile, you're collapsing into bed at the end of the day, exhausted, most of the time.

I pretty much put dating on the back-burner when I had my child, because the kind of parent I want to be (very active) does not really mesh with being out there all the time, trying to meet guys.  I do have friends who have prioritized dating over their kids, and it makes me sad for the kids.[/quote]

It's her last chance to have a child, so it's actually very smart.  I will tell you once you're over 40 you see most of your friends divorced, but they thankful they have their families. The women I know who don't have kids regret it.  You always have time to find a guy, but finite time to have your family.  She'll also have grand-kids, that's for life and men have a shelf life due to divorce or death.  I was pregnant and was dating, then got married and had another child with him.  I was in my 30's so time was out, best decision I made.  Waiting too long would be her worst mistake.
