Baby making!

[ruby_raindrop]

As we all know, I've gotten it into my head that a partner is not something that I especially want, whereas a child is, and it may actually be best if I undertake the baby-making endeavor while single. Since I'm planning the fate of my unborn child, here, I'm not taking this idea lightly. I could start trying to concieve absolutely no sooner than

Had I not met Kate I highly doubt I would've even attempted to enter the dating pool. She kinda just fell into my life. I would've gone ahead and had a kid by myself sometime later in life. Obviously what it'll take for me to be financially stable is much different than you, so I think you should go for it.

And given that I work at Borders, how could I leave you without a book recommendation? The author's a lesbian, but it's not a strictly gay book. "Knock Yourself Up: No Man? No Problem: A Tell-All Guide to Becoming a Single Mom" by Louise Sloan.

I'll certainly find that book, and now that I think about it, I do recall you considering single parenting in your I'll Die Cold & Alone stage. ;) Thanks, dahling.

I suspect that I have been miscategorized! I don't know if I'm the "22 year old single" or the "20 something Quaker", but I may have kids someday and am highly inclined to raise them without a partner, and with lots of loving friends around to help me parent. I'm open to raising kids with a partner if I have a partner I want to raise kids with, but I can't really see myself in a long-term "partnered" relationship anyway. I'd rather be in a three-partner relationship or in long-term relationships with multiple people who are not necessarily "life partners", I think. I dunno. I don't have a firm sense on what kind of family I would like to end up in, either in terms of adults or children. ;-) But I'm not planning to never have kids. I'm just not firmly committed to having kids, either. ;-)

Ah, my sweet, in this instance "no known plans" only means "I don't know, I've never asked, but they're not actively trying right now to the best of my knowledge."

I'm sorry. I should've specified that. *smooshy hugs* Sorry I fail so horribly at calling when I'm supposed to. I should be beaten.

For some reason..........my opinion isn't shown. JERK.

Oh, you know. It's cause you don't count. ;-)

I hadn't asked you yet when I posted that. For everyone's knowledge: a divorced 24 year old of unknown religion with no kids but who wants some one day thinks that I would be a selfish bitch and should recruit a friend to dedicate the next 20 years of her life to living with me and being a platonic second parent. <33
