I had my child out of wedlock, I chose not to marry her father

[pink]

AS it turned out, she is my only child.


Say what you may about single mothers in this country, I am blessed 1000 times over to have had that child. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. I gave birth to her and decided I didn't need her father so much after that. I was in love with my child.

She is in college now, a successful student. She is also in a sorority based on helping others in her community and over spring break, will be working with Habitat for Humanity and building houses for lower income families. She is a Social Work major.

and just as I type this, I get a text from her, wanting money. LOL

Sounds like you have good reason to be very proud of her--and of yourself for raising her to want to help make the world better for someone besides herself.

Having a child is no reason to marry someone you wouldn't have married otherwise.

You're a harlot. But at least you didn't use contraception, which is evil.

Whether a single mother by choice or circumstance (or some combination of the two), being one doesn't make us lesser women, mothers or human beings. Anyone who says otherwise deserves a terrible genitalia rash. With sores.

Noooooooo, that is KRC's job.

You took care of your needs and ignored her's.

Hi, Breaky.

 

[breakwall]

Hi, Breaky.

Hey Pink. You know you're a good mom. Haters gonna hate.

You're still a milf to me!

I'm not sure what you want as a response. Congrats on your kid getting into school is my honest response- but the rest of it is kinda, well, irrelevant and obvious. Why would you marry a guy you didn't want to marry because you had a kid? That's just plain stupid. You want a cookie for not doing stupid shit?

If that sounds pissy, I'm sorry- I'm pissy. Not your fault. Just thought I would add that to the end of any posts that sound pissy today.

she is slacking in the "i don't have sympathy for depressed suicide thread"

 

[HoHoBomb]

Did you do it 100% on your own?

 

[richard_daily]

Glad to hear that things have worked out...

Well, Her Dad was in her life and paid child support but I have never married. It has always just been the two of us, her and I.

 

[PlasticBunny]

Heh. I love how they attack without knowing a thing. Why don't they attack Cookie and call her a poverty princess and put her on iggy? Not her fault she's a single mom. Not mine either. Even if by choice, why attack? Why are you so threatened by the notion?

Setting the record straight, and my situation represents a lot of single, divorced mothers. College educated. Never unemployed, 20 years. Homeowner.

She is doing wonderfully. Her scholarships for school each year are almost $20,000. She studies so hard.

I pride myself on being a successful single mother as well. I happen to love my baby daddy but I couldn't live with him. I have one of those evolved co-parenting relationships with him. He provides for the kids. I provide for the kids. We make decisions together.

My kids are exposed to volunteering and art through me. Racing and camping through him. We both expose them to nature, to family and responsibility. There is no one right way to raise children.

Other than JBJ should never be exposed to them.

It's serious business apparently.

So anyway, that's cool.

Does it piss you off when women are proud of getting pregnant?

She will fuck older men looking for a daddy figure.
