Re: Should I become a single mother

That social network requirement is important. My friend raised her son without any help from parents and I was her only friend who bothered to help. That was with her partner working full time to help financially even if he did zero housework and baby stuff.

If you have unlimited finances and you can pay for a live in nanny then maybe I can see it working, but it is completely soul draining. You may be suffering post-partum depression, trying to function on only a couple of hours of sleep for YEARS after that child is born. It's very very difficult to do basic things like sleep and shower and buy groceries without another adult around to mind the baby. It's easy to picture strapping a baby to you in a harness and having full use of your hands plus company, but babies hate everything. They hate the harness. They hate noises. They hate other people. They screech at everything, hysterically cry and vomit at the same time. It's super fucking hard all the time and you're human and you will need time off.

I can very likely stay with my parents for the first months of motherhood, at least until daycare is an option. It isn't really the infancy I'm worried about, but what comes after. If my life is going to be nothing but work and child, is that something I'll be happy doing? I've heard tales landing on both sides of that fence.
