just because I can't find someone, I don't deserve the chance to be a mom?
I knew this was an issue I would face making the decision I made, but it's still frustrating. Yes, I'm 27 and "I'm young and have plenty of time" but it's my decision. Only I can decide when I'm ready and I did.
First of all, yes, I'm young. But I have had no luck in the dating circle. I have only had one serious relationship, 3 relationships total so my experience tells me I may never find someone. I don't exactly have a lot of chances and I can't seem to find anyone interested in a serious relationship, so yes, I got tired of waiting and I gave up.
Second, I have wanted kids forever. I'm one of those people who has just always wanted to be a mom. And I wanted all my kids before I was 30 because I want to be young enough to do things with my kids and grandkids.
Third, everyone knows that the older you get, the harder it is to conceive. I want 3 kids. I can't wait until I'm 40.
Fourth, I have some medical issues, and was already at risk of infertility because of how many CT scans and chest x-Ray's I've had, I didn't want to risk not being able to have children. It would kill me. And before you all say there's other options like adoption, I know that. I have always wanted to adopt at least one kid, but adoption is expensive. So basically, unless you're wealthy, you can't adopt.
And last, just because I can't find someone, I don't deserve to be a parent? That's bulshit. Yes, it's better for a child to grow up with 2 parents, but with the divorce rate, children rarely grow up with 2 parents anyway, and they are constantly tossed back and fourth. Is that really better for the child then having one devoted and loving parent? I will love my child like he/she had 10 fathers. My child will be loved, and raised to love and respect others. And to treat people right. Many 2 parent families can't even raise their children that way.
I'm choosing to be a single mother. I am choosing to raise my child on my own and love my child enough for multiple parents. Instead of telling me it's a bad decision and that I'm not thinking of my child, try supporting me. I am thinking of my child, and this child will know without a doubt that he/she is wanted and loved.
