The author would rather have her kid grow up without a father than actually have to clean up after herself and feed her kid a healthy dinner?
If the goal is to do as little as possible, take as little responsibility as possible - why have a child in the first place?
Yeah, instead of fighting with a partner over how to best raise your children, you just let the day care do it.
Human beings are not hermaphrodites. There's a reason why God and Nature made it necessary for two cells to form a human, and one is from a male and the other from a female.
Wow, I'm glad none of you will be judges for me when I die.
Even while our society generally pooh-poohs religion, I credit our strong religious faith for why I'm married to such a great guy, and for why we've been happy together for 22 years. I wouldn't dare take the credit for tending my marriage, it's a "we" thing all the way through and that "we" includes God.
If you married women think you'd be better off alone, you might consider a dose of unselfishness and appreciation, barring an abusive relationship, of course. Try looking for simple things your husband does every day that you can thank him for. Make it a goal to say "Thank You" at least 10 times every day and you may very well find you're married to a really great guy!
I am by no means advocating for single parenthood. Just saying, it is easier sometimes. Don't get all bent out of shape about it. And if any of you single women want my husband, he's all yours.
It is easier in my opinion to be a single mother...we need to teach our daughters that having children will most likely be their responsibility!
