Re: Should I become a single mother

[(Anonymous)]

I don’t think you should have kids unless you really want them, not got you, but for the kid. Remember, it’s not just a baby, it’s also a 4 year old and a preteen and a teen and an adult whose needs you will often, regularly need to put before your own. That’s fucking hard, and you have to really commit yourself to raising another human being. It’s not about being fun or even rewarding for the parent - it’s about giving the child it’s best possible shot no matter what.

I suppose it's a good sign that it's not the baby I want as much as the preteen and the teen and the adult? I don't think my ideas of babies are particularly romantic, but I like the idea of an older child around. I'd be ready to sacrifice a lot for the family I have, so I assume I'll feel the same if I ever have a child.

NAYRT—honestly fostering/adoption of a preteen sounds like a better fit for you, tbh. Any reason you specifically want a bio kid?

Re: Should I become a single mother

Adoption is hella expensive and almost exclusively for straight couples where I am, and fostering comes with a host of (reasonable!) requirements and is unlikely to be permanent :(

I don't know that it's a good sign, to be honest. It's great to look forward to the challenges and joys of a preteen/teen/adult but... you've got a decade of baby/toddler/little kid to get through first and those are some pretty crucial years in terms of child development. The first three years can be a brutal challenge even for people who thought they love the idea of babies. How's it going to be for someone who doesn't have that background?
