| I am also a single mum and we dont have any contact with my sons dad....his choice. He has never even met his son. Its bl**dy hard let me tell you. You have no life outside of kids play centres and mums groups. Unless you have a good support network that is. Its hard playing mum and dad, good cop bad cop every day but at least my son only has to follow one set of rules and there is no arguing over custody etc. I feel sad for him though that he has no male role model to follow. He does not have a pop or even an uncle to look up too so my advise to you is to make sure you have great role models for your child whether it be boy or girl. They definately need it. In saying all this I would not change a single thing. My son is my saving grace, I have grown up so much and have more patience than I though I ever would. I love being a single mum while it is extremely hard you reap the rewards 110% every day. Good luck to you if you decide to do it. Just remember....if you want it bad enough you have the strength do it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| My hat goes off to any single parent & you are right, nothing compares to being a parent. My husband was in the navy when my children were babies. I guess 50% of the time I was a sole parent but I always had the benefit of him coming home & giving me a break. You said you liked yr career - how is this going to fit in with a child? Also, when the baby is tiny - sleep deprivation. Do you have a good support network that would jump in and help you when you feel like you're dying from exhaustion? Or if you, yourself are sick and you need help looking after a child? One of my closet friends has raised a son on her own and she's had a lot of up & downs with it but I know she loves her son more than anything. I figure, if you've really thought it through and you see this as your only way of having a child, then go for it. |

| Too all the Mums out there, I really am considering having a child on my own (I havent decided how yet though, that is a slight issue) before I go any further I have some very strong male role models for future child, proven by an unfortunate family event. anyway my question is; I do like my career very much, I have a mortage and live a comfortable life. I am ready to change this, but in all honesty how difficult would this be on my own? I am experianced with children and deal with challenging situations daily, but i'm sure nothing will compare to parenthood... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
