Are Babies the New Boyfriend?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s starting to look like babies are the new boyfriend. Some single women are deciding to put all that man hunting energy into finding ways to have a baby. I know women who adopted children, froze their viable eggs for later, got artificially inseminated, or asked potential donors to father a child. Do you think this means women are giving up on finding men? Perhaps women think the men won’t show up during their child-bearing years?
A reader sent me this article, that talks about different experiences of women who found themselves facing motherhood alone.
I wonder how far and how long this trend will go? Although many still desire traditional families, do you think we will continue to seek this out?
Ladies, do you think babies are the new boyfriends? Are your friends and/or relatives opting to have babies alone on purpose? Have you considered motherhood minus the man to raise it with you?
Men, what do you think about women who choose to be single mothers? Would it bother you if you met someone who decided to become a mother without a mate? Do you ever worry if the woman you are dating is only interested in you for procreation only?
