Don’t get me started on the women in their 30s-early 40s who were too damn picky in finding a man in their younger years, so decide to have a child for “companionship” via a sperm donor. Thankfully, these ladies only have one kid, therefore only dropping one socially dysfunctional spawn per woman.
Don't get me started on the women who weren't picky enough, ended up settling for the wrong guy, and are now either (1) miserable or (2) divorced. Better to be picky than to settle for less.
Maybe women were too picky, or wanted it all (career and family but chose career first) or maybe they just didn’t meet the right person? I know some men who did the same thing.
I do agree about the whole sperm donor part. Single motherhood is a fad today. Personally, raising a child without a father is hard enough but for one to do it intentionally boggles my mind. I met my husband in college, got married and had kids, in that order. I was fortunate to get the degrees/pieces of paper before/during marriage/kids. I had a college prof tell me that “you can’t have it all without something suffering, regardless of what you’re told.” I changed my career path after college and before grad school based on that advice.
I knew what I wanted to be, a wife and mom first.
I think it’s easier finding someone when one is younger. Less baggage.
