Shoot, I'm almost 40 and get this stuff all the time. I choose not to be a single mom for several reasons.

One, I'm not married.

Two, I was raised in a two-parent family and believe it works for ME. I have to put the "me" in because I'm a believer in to each her own.

Three, I'm in SoCal and don't make enough money to be a homeowner. How the h*** could I support a child if I can't buy a home?

It's a source of pain for me at times, particularly when my mother and sister are tripping over themselves to treat my nephew's GF's child as some sort of quasi-grandchild.
