Women who want to have a child but no man in their life. Selfish?

I don't see why not , I think love is what is important , and whether its a single mother or a woman who desperately wants a baby it doesn't matter .Its better to have lots of love from one parent than sometimes being in the firing line when the parents have fights and arguments xx

I do not think that it is being selfish for a woman to want to be single and raise a child. In many cases, I think that may be a wonderful thing to not have a boyfriend or husband if they have been in abusive relationships. Single women make good parents as well as a couple so I see nothing wrong with this at all and it is their choice as well.

It's all about choices. If she thinks she's ready for a huge responsibility, then by all means, go ahead. Raising a child with a partner is already difficult, but if she feels she can handle it, then why not. I wouldn't mind doing the same thing if I reach a certain age and I'm still not married. But I'm going to make sure that I can handle it really well and that my child will be well taken care of.

i think there is nothing wrong with it being a single parent, iv always said if i havent got a child by the age of 25 i will go to a sperm donnor lol i was pregnant once but i wasnt with the father anymore so i would of been a part time single parent (as the father would of been involved) but unfortunatly i lost the baby just as long as the parent can cope and support the child there is nothing wrong with it

i am for it we are now in a modren world and everything is possible there are so many cases of "normal" parents that are not build to raise the child..and we hear so many tragic stories.. so it dosn't really matter how you bring it or with whom the important thing is that he'll get alote of love and care i know that i am 34 and if i am not going to be married soon i will bring a child on my own:)

It would not be my choice to have a baby alone but lets be honest the most important thing for any child is to feel loved, wanted and secure - if a woman feels she can provide this on her own then fair play to her - lets face it many men wallk away and leave a former partner alone to bring up a baby - there are no guarantees in this life!

That is a womens choice. If she can manage on her own, and it's her baby, why not? Go for it.

It is up to the women to do as she pleases. But for the sake of a child, I think that it shuold have a mother and a father.

If the mother is capable of supporting the child emotionally and financially this should not be a problem. There are many people raising children today that cannot provide emotional stability and even with sufficient income.

i dont think they are selfish but it's actually very nice of them..what's the point finding any man that may no be able to stay committed? i have alway thought to myself that if i cant find the right guy when im at my late 30s, i will either go for test tube babies or i will adopt a child and brought her/him up myself.

No I don't think it is selfish and if that is what they want then good luck to them. Why tie yourself to someone that you don't want to be with just to have a Child. Ok Years ago that was not heard of, but my Attitude is what has got to do with other People to judge it, it is not their Life and just because they do not agree with it does not mean everyone has to think the same.

I'm a little old-fashioned and believe it's best for a child to have a loving mother and father.

I think the most important that about being a parent is that the child feel loved and wanted. If that's in place, then everything else is manageable.
