"I need to go and have a baby and be a mother, and so I did," Katherine said."

What an extremely selfish attitude. No wonder she hasn't met Mr. Right -- who'd want her?

"I can't even say that once in a while I wish I had a father, because I don't," she said"

Even if you did, you couldn't. Thank your mom for that -- you can probably reach her on her cell phone.

I feel sorry for her progeny.

"I can't even say that once in a while I wish I had a father, because I don't," she said"

I didn't/couldn't read the story past the 2nd paragraph, because my thinking was "No mystery here, they don't have husbands because they really don't want husbands."

And there it is, proof positive. "I don't."

The kind of woman that *desires* to raise a child without a father does not compute for this guy (and probably most guys), and so we have the answer to her dilemma: she doesn't want a husband, and potential husbands don't want her.

To bad for the kid to be raised with such a whacko.
