Well whats wrong with that. I mean babies are pretty great. And they do help w/ being lonely. They are tiny and need you. They love you. Some times its nice to be needed and it can help. A baby is life changing. Some ppl want that change and it is positive.
Feeling lonely? Having a bad day? Get a baby! They'll fix everything!

It's one thing to enjoy spending time with your nephew and that it's makes you feel less lonely. That's a normal result of human interaction.
So yes a baby could make you feel less lonely. But one should NEVER, EVER have a child who is born to fix things, change things, make you happy, fix a marriage etc...
You don't have a child because of what that child can give YOU. You have a child because of what you can give to that child.
That's most likely because your line of thinking is eerily similar to a teenage girls on the subject, and for someone in grad school your grammar is atrocious. If that isn't the case, then you are proving you are not even close to ready to become a Mother yet.
This is Internet I'm not writing a paper for class. I mean realistically. I admit I am very immature and talk like a child and probably rationalize like a child but I'm not.
No Im not saying that. Im just sayin that I can totally understand some one thinking that, that a baby will make them happy and less lonely. Plus when you have a baby it helps bc you realize every thing isnt all about you. You have this tiny creature that needs you and loves you and its magical. I havent had a baby myself but I have been sad and wishing i had some one and my nephew has helped me thru that.

That's not really a good excuse on why you shouldn't make an effort to communicate properly.

The tiny creature doesn't love you. The creature needs you and is dependent on you. Love between a parent and a little baby goes one way and not in both directions.

No, they don't. Some of the most lonely and isolating times can be soon after you have a baby. All your friends are still at work, living their lives, and you are "stuck" at home with this baby who eats and poops all day every day, around the clock. You can barely get a shower in, let alone leave the house. If you can leave the house, it's for like an hour. You have no one to talk to, no one to have a real conversation with. Having a baby can be very lonely.
I have a feeling we may be dealing with an OP who is far younger than what she is telling us, someone who is very lonely, and dealing with a little fantasy. I have known of teens who were very lonely, had difficult home lives, and thought having a baby would solve all their problems.
No I'm 25 but I admit I felt like this at like 18 which is why it's eve worse because now I'm at an age where people are getting married and pregnant and it's ok it's feasible. I need it. I mean I just know a lot of bad could happen but a lot of good can too.
