Thanks. It is always being mulled over in some part of my mind at all times!

I recommend you talk to some women at singlemothersbychoice.org. I know this post is a bit old, but if you are still mulling it over, which is quite possible, it's worth the$40 or so to join and ask some questions in the forums.

Yeah he's three now and everyone is doing really well.

Thanks so much for sharing this. It really is parenting that I want to do above all else and I hope that it works out for me the way that it did with your friend!

That’s great of you to become an egg donor.

Yeah, that’s the thing. Most people have kids for reasons that would be construed as selfish, I would think. Like, what’s a good reason that isn’t selfish? “I want to have kids so that they will better society” or something maybe. But most people want to build a family.

Yes she is! The thought of her enrages me nevermind the thought of going back in a small office with her.

She’s your ex-therapist now, right?

You should have said, “That’s horribly judgmental of you and someone who is so judgmental should rethink being a therapist altogether.”

Yeah, agree. The fuck?

I hope you never went to that therapist again.

Whhaaaaatttt????? Someone said that to you? Out loud? Not just in their head? And it was a therapist? Wow.

Speaking as a therapist, that therapist should not be practicing. At. all.

I told a therapist I was seeing that if I couldn’t find the right person by a certain age, I wanted to have children by myself.
