hey guys do you think its a good idea??i want to have a baby on my own in the future but im thinking just have a baby but i dont want to have a husband, but when i thought that it would be unfair to my baby to be a fatherless and not her/him having a chance to have complete family gives me second thoughts. Please give me advise.

Decisions like this are not to be done lightly especially as it involves a innocent child whose life will be affected by your decisions. Just think that if you were your baby and you will grow up without a father, how would you feel about it? Wouldn't you want all the best for your baby? Wouldn't you want to give her that sense of belonging?

wow... what made you say that? do you really want that? a lot of women would think the same but it would also be nice for a child to have both her mom and dad.... but if the situation will let you just have a child without a hubby...well, atleast you are already prepared... :)

no wonder you thought about it, coz you've encountered married people who always fight with each other... at times, i was thinking of that too, whenever my hubby and I have a fight, but then again, i'm still glad we're together. i'm hoping the best for you...:)

I know single mothers (adopted or sperm donor) who have made very good mothers without there being a father in the picture. I do think, though, that if it's a boy, in some cases you might have some really hard times without a male role model for him. But there are ways to get around that, uncles, grandfathers, etc.

ohh yeah!!i have my two brothers and i see them a good role models on us and even to my nephew so i dont see any problems regarding with it, i know my child would be called illegitimate but i would say that i love him no matter what...happy lotting and thanks for the response!!

How can you have your own baby if there's no man?? Do you plan to adopt the baby in the future?? Well i guess your wish is hard .... i guess the baby foundation cannot give the baby to adopt if you were never married yet, because they should consider parents who will take cares of the baby in so many thing to judge ... For example your financial, your age, your mentally, etc2

First of all, how old are you anyway? It is easy to 'want' to have a kid especially when you're just planning to adopt one. But the question here is, are you "ready" to have your own baby without a help of a husband? Honey, it is very easy to want to have a kid but once you're there, there's no more turning back. Having a baby isn't very easy. You have to also consider your financial status. Yes, you have a baby but who's going to provide for your financial needs? Every child deserves a mother and a father. I don't think wanting to have a baby without a father is the best option. Wait for the right time until you think you're ready and maybe you might just end up having your own family as well.. any baby would want her/his family to be complete. Don't be in a rush, if you're still single then continue to love yourself while you still are. Once you get in the stage of responsibility, you'd want to turn back time and maybe want to be live your life to the fullest first before finally settling in. Take care!

i never meant to have a baby early, but if would get pregnant accidentally then i would say i can keep the baby for myself, i am financially stable so i dont think i wont mange to have one and i have my family that i am sure would guide me and support me whatever situations i could be in...happy lotting

It would be nice to grow up in a "complete" family and have a dad and mom both raise their kids. But I've come across a lot of single parents (mothers or fathers) who have raised their kids on their own and their kids all turned out to do well.

yeah i agree with you, i grow up in a family that i have my parents with me and my siblings, and i dont have a bad experience about it though, but as i grow up and see my friends same age with me, and they would have their own family they tend to be quarelling too much and the guy would beat the girl things like that, i really experince a friend coming to me because she was practically beaten by her husband..i know its bad to think that all guys are like that but i couldnt help it...thanks for the response!!

I think a child should have both a mother and a father. I think it would be hard to grow up with out one or the other. It wouldn't be fair to the child.

i know its not proper but i saw many kids grow up with their single parents and they mange to do it, so why not me??thanks for the response...

I think that if you really want to have a baby on your own and you are mature enough to raise a child, that you should do it. I agree that children are better off with two parents. But even if you get married before having a child, there is no guarantee that your child's father will stick around. You may wind up getting a divorce and divorce is no picnic for kids either. There are much worse things that could happen to a child than being raised by a loving mother.

thanks to this wonderful response, i really agree with you, i get into this whole idea because i see many kids not being taking cared by their fathers, just like my bestfriend, she has two little girls but they guy left them, then i would say that we wont be needing him either...
