Oh, there's many posters here who are against women getting college degrees and having jobs.
But once you get that college degree and great job your kid is going to be raised by a nanny who didn't go to school and doesn't even speak english!
WAHAHAHAHA!
Flat out lie. Name one who said anything remotely like that.
What people here take exception to here is not your education, but your unrealistic expectation that you don't have to make a choice regarding career and family/kids. Yes, it's unrealistic. You'll learn that when you mature.
Another poster summed it up nicely. You sound very young. I'm sure that no amount of argument will sway you in your opinions, but you must understand how you sound to us older married people with kids. (4 myself) My 8 year old son likes to tell me of all the things he'll do when he grows up. Astronaut, pilot, fireman, policeman, build skyscrapers, ad infinitum. And of course I tell him that would be great, and he'd be wonderful at all those, and he can be anything he wishes to be.
That's kind of how you sound to us. Lots of grand ideas about how career, family marriage and kids will all work out for you.. The only difference here is that while my sons ambitions are born form the unrealistic enthusiasm of childhood and can have very little affect on his actual future, you are actually contemplating bringing a child into this fantasy world, without a father, if you can't find the right guy.
A woman planning to be a single mom is the pinnacle of selfishness. All things being equal, a child is best raised by a father AND a mother. That is indisputable. And to intentionally have a child NOT under the best circumstance simply because you want it now, and don't want to wait or do what is necessary to create that situation is exactly that. Pure selfishness. Having children is about sacrifice. And the two are mutually exclusive.
And your caviler attitude about a fathers importance, and your overall opinion of many of the men on this board, as displayed by many baseless comment's like the one above, speaks volumes to those of us with the "life experience" that you claim to find so desirable a quality. Except, it seems, when we're trying to inject some reality into your delusions, before you bring another person into it without giving them a choice in the matter.
