Death of a partner and surviving abusive relationships requires emotional healing. Anyone would be wise to postpone planning parenthood until after their emotional issues are resolved. The fact both no longer want to have partners is an indication that they are still emotionally scarred. Their diving into having a child as a single parent further validates that because the decision to have a child as a single parent isn't in the best interest of the child.
Im sure the child would appreciate life in general. Wow they dont have a mom or they dont have a dad depending on the situation. At least they were BORN. Im sure anybody would appreciate that.
Yep! The point being that they are PLANNING to be single!
So true! My gay uncle wants kids with a partner but he rather stay single. He is not giving up his bi-annual trips to St Tropez anytime soon to raise a child on his own.
What can't you understand about that being different because it wasn't PLANNED?
She clearly hasn't overcome her grief. That's not a good mix for parenthood.
What's up with you and the hypotheticals? This discussion is based on posts made in this thread that inspired the discussion.
Regardless if it was planned or not she would still be a single mother which according to you guys is the most horrible thing ever in the whole wide world. (exagerating sp?) But anyways. She is CHOOSING to raise the child alone which is oh so fair to that child so she should put the baby up for adoption right? I mean its only fair to the baby right? The baby DESERVES 2 parents.

Come back in 20 years. By then you will have learned that children are WAY more complicated than that. My goodness.

Nope sorry. Are you telling me that if your mom had chose to raise you as a single mother and not have a partner you would have rather not been born at all? Lets be serious.

I'm telling that the happiness of children is much more complicated than merely being alive. If life is all a parent can give a child, that's really sad.
OhioChic...everyone is different...there is no set time....there is no better time.....the main thing is that you love ,cherish and provide for those children when they're born....that's really ALL that matters
I read all the post that concerned my TOPIC. But when everyone started arguing with tiltheendoftime about single parenting I skipped it.
Yet, you decided to champion the discussion that you purposely skipped! That's funny!
