Re: What bothers you more and more with each passing year as you grow older?

Yep. I would like to have a kid but I don't think it's possible without a partner and I just... don't do that.

It's possible without a partner, but it's way easier to give kids good lives as a single parent if you have a strong social safety net or lots of money, or ideally, both.

I'm ace and want kids, too, but I don't know how to make friends, my relatives are few and elderly, and I'm not independently wealthy, so I need to work, but don't make enough to hire someone to do childcare and don't have a social circle to exchange favors and kid-watching duties with.

AYRT - Yeah, I feel you. Like the other anon who replied to you, I feel that it's entirely possible to do the single parent thing but not if you don't have support from other sources. And as someone who doesn't have much money, is not upwardly mobile, has very little in the way of family, and only a couple of friends who don't live near me, the circumstances aren't right for me to do it responsibly. Also, I don't feel like I'm ready emotionally, yet, and I'm 33. I feel like I miiiight be emotionally ready to be a parent by the time I'm 43, but the chances of it happening for me at that point are fairly slim. I mean who knows, I'm a skinny, somewhat androgenous woman who probably isn't exactly oozing estrogen; I may not even be able to get pregnant if I tried now. :/
