    Why not try to post and give advice instead of being, ...well....your usual Christian acting self? I'm way worse/better than you are at providing witty, intelligent, well thought out, rep-receiving sarcastic posts than you and even I know how to be serious and post accordingly to a simple query. Later, QD.

    Why not? You do realize that marriage is not for everyone and at the same time a possibility for everyone, right? I am a little bothered by the fact that everyone seems to see a family as consisting of a father and a mother and yet we all know that single parenthood is prevalent in America. The same country founded on Christianity and yet we cant seem to keep marriages together...Hmm.

    I am taking many opinions into consideration but do not tell me that a child cannot grow to be an amazing person without their father in the picture. IT happens all the time and at the same time it is something that is frowned upon in society. I love how some of these posts make it seem like I am cold-hearted and a bitch, yet I am the one asking for advice instead of just going out and doing as I please and calling the future father a "sucker" when I get what I want.

    I know that I am going to be judged in life and that isnt a problem for me, but at the same time please look at yourself first. I have yet to act on anything that I am typing and yet I am being judged by Bible pushers that live their life fornicating and participating in things that Jesus wouldnt be too proud of...But it is ok... "Cast the first stone," right?? (and killer this isnt just for you.)

    again, i'm not basing anything i said on religion.... and i'm not saying a child can't grow up to be a great person.. they can... and i've seen many that have...

    but for that child there will always be something missing,(i've seen it, and dealt with it) i don't know if you had or didn't have both of your parents... for the most part i've had mine.. they were divorced though.. and it wasn't a pretty one at that..... there were many times i "wished" my dad was there to show me how to do this, or teach me how to do that.... let me work on his car with him... the things a father should be doing.. and as a child i was robbed of a lot of that.... there were times i was with my father as a young child.. and i did get to do some of the things a son should do with his dad.... so i'm not asking for a pity party.. just giving my insight.... like i said, i completely missed where you said the father could be in the childs life.... i read over it more than once, don't ask how, but i did...

    such a true post, edited for the same things i had to deal with

I feel that there are so many things in life I missed out on because my father isn't around. You know, the special moments only a father and daughter can have. Plus I have a sister I have never met and probably will never meet. You have to also consider that. Do they have other children? Will my child get to meet them? It's a lot of factors in that equation. I just don't think it is a good idea. If you want your child to be happy, give them what they will need and will be thankful for in the future. Think about it
    quoted for truth also

    IMO that child will grow up with thoughts of having their father in their life. i know my sister took it hard and so did my brother when my father died, even though i am the youngest, they still at the same time wish that dad was their.

    As in a previous post of mine, I stated that it does happen. But the chances are very slim. It is shown/proven that children reared in single parent homes are more likely to end up on the wrong side of the tracks. I won't judge you for your decision. But I hope you reconsider. Later, QD.

    single parenthood for the most part though is unvoluntary. some cases either a father/mother dies, divorce resulting in custody issues, is incarcerated(sp?), or just doesn't care at all about the child. i know of little cases where someone outright says before ever being pregnant that the father doesn't have to be a part of the situation, that they just want a child. most cases where i hear this is when someone already has a person in mind that they would love/like to spend the rest of their life with, not just a 'donor' as it were.

    There are many cases where fatherless children grow up to be successful, and there are also times where fatherless children grow up to be heathens. FORTUNATELY, i have beaten the odds and have been semisuccessful, and have not been a menace to society, as it were. I'm not looking at you as cold hearted, just stating my opinions, that waiting would be the best option.
