WOMEN as a single mom???

Hi miekeejin, I believe woman can raise their own children without a man, you can do anything you want too independently, you don't need someone else by your side. Sure, it's nice to have someone else but it's not necessary. My mom raised my brother and I by herself, she had help from family but pretty much everything she did on her own, neither my brother's father nor mine decided to stick around and they never helped pay child support which was hard at times but my mom managed. She went to college when my brother and I were younger, graduated with a high GPA average and than got a very well paying job in the Medical field. My mom always told my brother and I that she got her wish, she never wanted to be married but she wanted two children, and she received her wish. I personally would love to get married and have a family, I hope that things would work out well but now a days people rush things as far as getting married and having children and it seems to end in divorce. Nobody ever wants a marriage to end in divorce but I'd certainly hope it would never happen too me. A lot of my friends from high school either have kids already, are married or both, I don't even have a boyfriend and I haven't for quite a while but I'm not trying to rush things. I figure if something is meant to happen than it'll happen, you can't force anything. This is a great discussion because no woman needs a man in her life, a woman can do anything a man could do as well you just have to work hard and put your mind too it and anything is possible.

Hello, I agree that women can live independently. But, I don't agree that they need to be single moms to be independent. You don't have to have a baby to show that you are responsible. You can prove your self worth in many different ways.. make a career, study more, have opinions and express them openly. Nothing against single moms, I know its a herculean task for them and yet they do brilliantly.

Many women are comfortable living their lives without a man around. It is always better though for a child to have two parents if possible because it is hard work and expensive to raise a child and it is good to have halp.

Hi miekeejin! My best friend is a single mom. Though raising her kid alone was hard for her, she never fails to keep up with her responsibility as a mom. She works hard but never forgets giving quality time for his son. I could see that single moms like her are very strong and selfless. I only hope that they would not forget about themselves and treat their self once in a while for being a wonder mom. I'm proud of them.

Hi miekeejin, you are right, women can live without a man and man can also live without woman. In this society, women even earn more money than man, and there are househusband. But why do people married? I think the reason is they want to be supported in spirit, when they are tired or bored, they can chat with each other. There is always a person who is his/her truehearted listener. Have a good day.

I think you are absolutely right Single moms have more pressure on them and that's why they want evenything perfect Yes they have learned so much from their experiences tahts now the just want to look after tehir kids, Hats of to all those Single moms out there

I think that once a woman has a child,she already feels complete.she already feels that she has a purpose in her life.she has a child to care for.I think that being a mother is the "ultimate purpose" of a woman.I beg to differ that some guys are afraid of dating a single mom because of the "instant father" role.a single mom will date a guy because she wants to date that guy.she doesn't need a guy to father her child.she is surviving with her little one,even before a guy came in her life.
