hah, well. There's pros and cons to having kids young.. Moving on after a marriage/relationship + kid (s) is a con. I know single moms that date and leave the kid completely out of it until something seems 'serious'. All depends on what yer looking for..


I think I have really high expectations of a man when I shouldn't. Every girl wants that fairy tale relationship, where the guy just picks her up off her feet and she never worries about anything again. As I was waiting for my girl to get her hair done, I was glancing through redbook when I came across an article that said "Real Love" .....interesting right? So this guy that this woman meets happens to live over in london....and she visits him for four days, and the whole time she said she never had to worry about anything as he told her "I'll take care of it." I thought how perfect that would be, to not have to worry about anything, a lot less worry on me. I would love a man that handles his business, and takes care of me and my child. Sigh* Maybe one day.....I have to think I'm only 21.........and most people don't get married for the first time till around 25 or 26....

As long as you have that mindset, you are setting yourself up for failure in any relationship you'll ever have...:ohwell:

That's actually pretty pathetic, if you ask me.

From my standpoint I would HATE that. I am super independent and want a man to hold his own as much as I do. If he does all the 'taking care', what's left for me to do for him?
You should expect a man to be responsible, loyal, and trustworthy. You want a bf, not a father.
None the less, even those 3 are hard to come by in the same package..
maybe playing for the same team will work out for ya :pete:

Many months back Oprah had a show and I remember a lady who was "swept off her feet" by a very nice gentleman. They were married for many years and everything seemed perfect. They had a beautiful house, great kids, she was a SAH mom who didn't need for anything. One day the love of her life just up and left her. She had no money, no savings, no retirement, no health care, NOTHING!

So, Nit...while the fairy tale may seem like a grand idea, be sure you always have a backup plan. :huggy: BTW, this does not mean your scenario can't work.

when I tell a guy that I'm a single mom, they disappear off the face of the earth?

Princess, it is a 2-way street. I have found women running for the hills when they found out I was a single dad with custody.

Oh wait, maybe I didnt shower that day.....:sarcasm:

Well as you probably already know I am kicking myself in the butt for not having that "plan B" ............I guess I should keep holding on until I get my sh!t straight. The story of my life!!! haha

but what girl wants to put up with a baggage of 1 or more kids on the man's side...when she already has one to raise? Yeah...I think I am turning lesbian I think I'm turning lesbian I really think so.....do do do do.....

I wonder, why is it baggage if the man has kids but yet her kids are not baggage.

I think I will just do the right thing and raise my child to the best of my abilities and wait for a relationship later.

Yeah I mean, thank God for my parents really. Thats 99.9% of the reason why I moved back to Va Beach. They have always taken care of me, and now their grandchild. I am going to try and do the right thing, although it might be hard its worth doing for my daughter.
