Carrie12345 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 :grouphug: Have you tried literally swearing off love and babies? That worked for me, big time! ;) Seriously though, you never know what life is going to bring you on any given day. And there are certainly other options out there, depending on your comfort level!

blessed2fosteradopt Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 That's why I continue to foster (do only respite care). I love, love babies but am so done. I will be getting my baby fix tomorrow for 5 days. I will have a yummy 7 month baby girl for 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also a single mother and have always wanted a big family. I definitely have baby fever (both of my best friends have had babies in the last 6 months!) but for me it is way more than that. I never wanted DD to be an only child. I plan to adopt eventually (older children, probably a sibling group), but since I'll be in school for another... 8 years... it is a long way off! Love and marriage? Who in the world has time for that???? There has been some blips on the radar, but I can barely keep up with my school work, my daughter's school work, clean house and friendships!

catalinakel Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I love babies...love, love, love them. But only got my two and they are big now. so, guess what? I babysit two different babies each week. works for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy weather Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'm feeling the same way, my niece(who I got to watch being born) is having a baby and I keep drooling over tiny baby clothes. Soon I will be drooling over her tiny baby. I am also seeing wedding announcements for kids that I still think of as, well, kids. They are NOT old enough to be married. I always thought I would be married with a handful of kiddies by now. :toetap05: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Look into fostering. They accept single parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 You know I never particularly cared for babies or children for that matter?:confused: I don't much like pets either and I have more of them than I do children. Somehow, I seem to magically attracted both. Of course, I love my own children and pets (most of the time) but I really don't think that I will be going through empty nest syndrome.

I dont even know where this came from.. LOL.. Im sure it will pass in a few days.. lol ;) I couldnt possibly afford another child as a single parent anyway.. We are getting ready to move into our new little cottage, so that will be a big job.. ... then back to college and starting hs'ing in sept. Busy busy.. :D Actually I could probably just babysit for a day and then the thoughts would be gone for another 10 yrs LOL ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
