Well Im a single mummy to 15 month old Aiden and Im 20 weeks pregnant with triplet girls and you know what? I like being a single mum. The bond Aiden and I have is amazing and I dont have the constant fighting in our lives that it was with XP and I. Were happier, have better routine, better communication and best of all Im not argueing all the time to do anything with Aiden.
I chose to fall pregnant as a single, although with the live-in support of my mum. I reckon there are HEAPS of positives - You don't have to argue about names, parenting styles, what you want to do that day... You don't have to cook and clean for someone else or feel guilty for not doing it and just taking time to enjoy your little one
Hello! I am 30 weeks pg. with DS and although I am not an active parent at the moment, I think that when each time I look at DS that I will feel overwhelming love for him. Although I anticipate being a single parent will be difficult, I have the support of my family and I know that the decision I made to bring DS into the world despite a short-term relationship was the right decision. I know I am experiencing difficulty with XP but I hope that once XP and family meet DS that they will feel the same way that I feel! I am so happy that my life is becoming something more, I will be a parent to a beautiful child and that would be the most positive and rewarding experience in my life despite whatever challenges may present themselves. Try to view the positive before viewing the negative - I should have put this into practice a long time ago. Congratulations on DD (Dear Daughter)
Shades, what an amazing choice you have made to have a child on your own! Best of luck and it sounds like you are ready to be a mummy! You certainly did highlight all the positives of being a single parent!
the positives for me are that I dont have to feel angry all the time because DH wont be a decent father, I dont have to argue about different parenting styles, I get to co sleep with DS without arguement from his father, I get sontrol of the money in the household, Im sure there are more but i cant think of them just now. OH, every once in a while I get some child free days when Archies Dad has him.
