Right so I need to get this off my chest and see if anyone feels the same or even just gets where I’m coming from.

Me and my children’s father were together for 3m and had a child.

2 1/2 years later we broke up.

Another 4 years after that we had another baby together (also planned) even though we weren’t together.

Safe to say as we weren’t together, my family hit the roof as this is not ‘acceptable’ in their eyes.

They obviously got used to the scenario as my child is now 2 and it is normal now.

So I am currently pregnant again with his child. I am not working as at home with my 2 year old (fully intent on going back when this baby is born and of school age.)

Anyway this baby #3 was planned and will be my last child. But I am putting off telling my Dad as he will be so angry that I’ve ‘done it again!’

What annoys me though is the fact that I am happy and single.

But because I am ‘single’ it just gets frowned upon and like I am in the wrong.

Yes I totally get that I am not working, but I will be again as I am definitely not staying at home forever!

Their father pays for them every month and works full time.

A family member even said to me that my Dad wouldn’t take it so badly if we was ‘together’, which just winds me up.

I don’t want a man. I am happy by myself and this works for us. He sees his children and I am quite capable of doing it by myself.

He has been there for both births and will be this time.

40 year old single women who go to a sperm doner don’t get frowned upon when they do it.

What difference does having a title over us have?

Sorry, just a rant. 🙄
