chosing to be a single parent mum.

I don't personally know people who might want to be in such situation. But I do think that the reason why some women would rather have babies only instead of really having a family of her own is either because of a previous bad relationship (fear of not having the ability to keep a relationship) or the woman feels that she really doesn't need a man in her life to be happy.

I personally don't know anyone like that. But i think it's good for a woman to be independent. If she can take care of herself and her child then great for her. It's at some point easier for a woman to just take care of herself and her child, especially if she is financially secure. Then things can work out even better. Some women just do not want a man attached to them that they have to take care of.

Well, I under the topic relationships, I have little to say. This is because I have come to the age of almost 38 years, without ever being involved in a love affair. And I must say to be so happy! I live with the father and mother, and I do not care to have the woman! I know, tomorrow I might be alone, but to me what do I care? I think today and I think I will never be involved in a romantic relationship!

I also understand such situation.While i hope that my kids were born to have parents and to live with them a happy life.It's really nice to let them own their great childhood moments,but if the fact is not,then we have to face and let it be.

Maternal instinct can be very strong in woman. But it is a real challenge to raise a child by yourself. And you do have to think - are you being fair to the child? Always, when thinking of having children - it is best to think - what is best for the child, not what do I want? Single parenting is not easy for the child because raising a child is a lot of work and it does take two parents to share the burden of raising a child. So, a woman can say she wants to be independent but then, she has the burden of raising a child by herself. I don't think such women think it all the way through as to how much work it is to raise a child. With children, it is very important to think about what is best for the children.

Is there choice to be being a single parent. Maybe they have a reasonable reason why they did that. Just hoping there is no effect to the kids.

I believe your assumption is quite bias and if I may add condescending. You need to understand that NO women in their sane mind would ever want to be single mothers when most countries and their governments does not support it. As such, single mothers will need to be prepared to work extremely hard to raise her child where her child will not be entitled to every known child welfare or subsidies which are entitled to children in complete family units. Instead, I have seen women who are single mothers are actually being victims of circumstances starting with child from unwanted pregnancy, cheated by partners who are married or premature demise of their life partner to be. So you can see that MOST of these single moms are not really who they seem to be especially according to your perceived. If you think it is easy being a single mom, then wait till these toddlers grow up and start attending school where they will be constantly harassed with "Where's your DADDY?" questions. First strike to harsh reality and what the hell when it starts at preschool. So, don't think that single moms are that condescending when in actual fact it is more of an unwilling choice on their part!

I have some friends choose to be a single mom or having child without wedlock. I think it is becoming a trend nowadays. Have a great day!

I have met someone like this.. she just want a child so she decided to have a child with her ex boyfriend but it is clear between them that their relationship is over and her ex boyfriend does have his own family.. I don't know what my friend is thinking,,, it is her choice and I can't stop her from doing that.. anyways my friend now has a baby boy and she raises him on her own..
