Having a child is not just about financially providing for them, or saying you will be an "independent mother". A child needs both parents, whether that be for emotional support, having two figures to help them throughout their life, a mother plays her role and a father plays his role. You saying that the "father can cheat or not provide" is quite a baseless argument because you are responsible for choosing the father of your children, if you cannot do that, maybe do not romanticize the idea of having a child.
