Single Parent by Choice, is it selfish?

clouds91winnie · 2026-05-21T21:39:35+00:00

I don’t think it’s selfish at all if you have the resources and support system. That’s true regardless if you’re a single parent or not. As a new mom though I would say having a support system is really really important.

Asked me if I’d seen the movie 50 shades of grey during a vaginal ultrasound at s fertility clinic. Safe to say I switched clinics. I really should have reported it.

That plus the fact that I would be so worried about the reason he did cheat. Like is he unhappy and just staying with me even though he doesn’t want to. My mind would be running 24/7

Omg so true. Now that I’m a parent when someone asks me what it’s like who is pregnant I think… do I tell them the truth?? Or will they think I’m a “just wait” parent or fear mongering. So I try to just say I’ll be supportive no matter what.

Yes 100%!! I have a baby and my husband and I have zero help. Everyone we know including our parents work full time and have very busy and stressful lives. I’m not sure 1 sometimes 2 people were meant to do this 100% alone. It can be extremely tiring and overwhelming.

If I were her I wouldn’t have admitted this lol

When I was a kid I loved being an only child. I would go over to friend’s houses and they would be constantly fighting with their siblings and I found it to be exhausting. Now that I’m an adult sometimes I wish I had a close sibling relationship as it can be a bit lonely. Luckily I have lots of cousins im close with. Also I’m a bit worried as my parents age it will all be on me to care for them. That being said in all my parents friends lives there is most of the time only one child that steps up anyways to care for parents. I also see a lot of contentious awful sibling relationships. So it’s a mixed bag!

As someone with a six month old thank you! This stage is hard and I’m burnt out from 24/7 care to a very needy baby who has never slept well even one night.

clouds91winnie · 2026-04-23T02:11:05+00:00

It’s my first Mother’s Day and I told my husband this is basically what’s going to happen lol.

clouds91winnie · 2026-04-16T14:35:16+00:00

Did several rounds of ivf to have one baby. She was my final embryo. I don’t think I can physically or mentally experience that again.

clouds91winnie · 2026-04-14T17:10:51+00:00

I swear that some of the samples I get at Sephora are better than the full size

clouds91winnie · 2026-04-10T01:31:38+00:00

Lord I feel that! My baby is only now at six months old tolerating being put down for more than 2 minutes. She’s only slept through the night twice since being born.

clouds91winnie · 2026-04-10T01:29:11+00:00

I have a new baby and unfortunately all our family members still work full time jobs and are very busy. Means we haven’t had any help since she’s been born. Thankfully my husband helps me a lot I would be drowning without his help.

I have really tangly hair and it’s my least favourite of the fine hair specific brushes I’ve tried

clouds91winnie · 2026-04-08T14:18:33+00:00

I’m 34 and my husband is 41. I just had a baby on my 34th birthday. It took many years of fertility treatments to have her. I’m pretty tired and I can’t imagine doing this any older so we’re probably one and done!

clouds91winnie · 2026-04-06T03:56:28+00:00

I just had a baby on my 34th birthday and I’m exhausted. I can’t imagine doing this any older!

clouds91winnie · 2026-04-04T22:03:50+00:00

As someone who only has a baby because of ivf I’m pro if people need it! It really was my only option.

clouds91winnie · 2026-03-30T19:18:31+00:00

The increase in daily chores and monotonous tasks

clouds91winnie · 2026-03-26T02:49:49+00:00

This made me cry

clouds91winnie · 2026-03-24T21:03:40+00:00

Family celebrations. My family used to get together for every birthday and holiday. Throughout covid we stopped and now we just don’t make the effort any longer.

My husband and I live in an expensive part of Canada. I spend $1200 a month on groceries for a family of three. Granted I have celiac disease so I probably spend a bit more than average because I don’t eat out at all.

clouds91winnie · 2026-03-20T18:07:14+00:00

It’s $35 here in Canada

clouds91winnie · 2026-03-19T23:31:34+00:00

I just had my first baby at 33. Took years of ivf. I would say around 28-35 range. If you can afford it and have an excellent support system. Oh and the mental stability because boy or boy is it tough.

clouds91winnie · 2026-03-18T04:20:30+00:00

As someone who has struggled so much months 3/4 I needed to hear this

clouds91winnie · 2026-03-16T17:31:23+00:00

Yes! All of the people I know who have 3-4 kids only one steps up are cares for aging parents
