i entertain the idea of being a single mom. how about you?

really? why not a family? i have two kids and at first i thought i could raise them, financially it would be ok but then when i look at them, they would really look for a father and i do not want to deprive them of that and i am also lucky in so many that my huby has been so good to me! i do agree with you that one should not marry just because of the girl got pregnant because marriage should not be forced...but being mom is acceptable, i have many friends who are single moms but they admit it is hard raising children on their own...

Sometime that though comes in my mind too especially seeing my parents keep on fighting almost every week but then I hope that my case will not be like that because it is still better to have a complete family.^_^

I was a single mother for a long time. and i can tell you that i am glad i was only because the relationship was not a good one. however it would have been easier if i had the father there doing his job helping out. now that i am in a new relationship years later and have a child with him, it's so much easier. together we take care of her and love her and support her. i rather be a single parent then to be in a bad relationship, but i rather be a two parent household. one of those catch 22's

I entertain the idea of being a single mom.......... Hi there, I don't know what country you are from but when I was growing up it was unacceptable for a young girl to be a single mom so I was forced into a marriage that didn't last. Financially speaking it's not easy to raise a child on your own. Even if you are very wealthy it would be very hard, not unless you have lots of friends and a loving family that could pitch in and help out with the childcare, etc. If I were you I would think about it really hard and deep before deciding to go that route. Right now I"m a married woman with 2 children and it's still very hard. I have to make so many sacrifices. A younger woman wouldn't be willing to make the kind of sacrifices that I've made but then again it's your life and your decision to make. For everyone it might be different but speaking personally it certainly hasn't been an easy road for me and I wouldn't encourage any single woman to go for it. At least if you have a husband there to help you. He can take on part of the load when you are too tired to carry on.... but if it's just you??? Well all I can say is heaven help you. There have been women that have done it successfully but I really don't envy their lifestyle not one single bit. God bless you.

I have high regards with single moms.they are a father and a mother at the same time.I believe that two persons shouldn't get married just for the sake of an unborn child.if they are not fully ready,then don't force them.there's nothing wrong with being a single mom.it's hard work,but it is much more fun and easier than dealing with an unhappy marriage.
