Single mother blues? more like dreams.

7 Comments

I know this is weird, but i want to be a single mom. I really REALLYYY don't want a husband. I've always had the most terrible luck with guys, and I don't want one screwing my life up.

I know this is wrong for the child in so many ways, but I just want a good relationship with her. I want to move to a very small town. I just want a baby girl. I don't want a husband, I don't want anything except her.

so is it normal to want this? I don't want a big happy family. I want me and my baby, and i'm good.

Is It Normal?

    Knowing a few .I would say be financially prepared and have good support networks of family and friends.This is to look after you and the child.Dont be swayed by glamourous stories of solo parenting go talk to those that are doing this . be informed then decide.

    I'M a single mum. I was a single mum from the start and I find it very easy as there is only me and my daughter to think about. I think having a husband would be like being a single mum to 2 kids xxx

    I'm the oldest child of a mother with three children. I personally like having my mom single for selfish reasons and non selfish reason. I want her to be happy after we all leave but then again right now were happy just us four. I don't want some punk coming in and messing it up and tearing us apart. So yes, in my opinion it's normal.

    As a single mom, the important thing is how you raise your child. Expose them to good people, they don't have to be biologically connected. Any idiot can be a father. Its up to mom to pick the people in their childrens lives. I believe the #1 rule of good parenting is to not just teach, but to listen, discuss ideas, ask questions, be involved.

    As a child of a single mother? I never missed what I didn't have. I was never jealous of my friends having fathers, in fact it was completely opposite. Many of my friends fathers caused more problems than benefits. Usually becuase all they did was fight with the mother...

    If you're ready to be a mom, I say go for it!

    I knew someone who wanted to be a single mom too. She was pushing 30, so her bioligical clock was ticking. She had a good job, but had awful luck with men. So she hooked up with a dude, had his child, and now she's raising her on her own. The father is not in the picture. She LOVES being a single mom. Sure, there are some tiring times for her, but she's doing so well and her daughter is amazing. I guess this way she gets her daughter all to herself (and her family), and they share such a close bond.

    Not sure how it will effect the child in the long run, since she is lacking a fatherly role in her life. But it's nice to see they are not struggling financially, and the mom is very happy and loves her life and her daughter with her whole heart.

    Most situations don't work out like this though, so be careful. Make sure you're ready. Best of luck to you though! :)

    Interesting given all the dumping on single moms. I don't have an opinion on this - but want to see what others think.
