I am not a single mother, I wonder what your question has got to do with this post, or did you not read the story well? That the OP is blaming her parents for having adviced her against teenage pregnancy, she is blaming them for having encouraged her to develop herself.


She's actually frustrated. She's never being a single mother and you haven't either. It's best to get such advice from someone who has being in that road before.

Is having a kid actually her problem? Out of 8 billion people in the world she has to bring a new human to end her loneliness?

Make it make sense.

Accept responsibility for your mistakes.
Many women out there went to school, and still got married and had kids.
If you re single as a lady at 41 its your fault.

I hate it. I’m 41, never married, no kids.

I’ve been close…twice. But ended both relationships when they were caught cheating.

I’ve dated several men since then, most older than me, and they seemed to be in no hurry to even be in a committed relationship. Which is crazy to me that these men are mid-40s and still trying to hangout with the guys and party. I met a whole guy group of friends in Houston 2 years ago…all single, all 36–45 years old. They were throwing house parties during the quarantine…parties!! ��

When I was in grade school, I was told to get a degree, don’t get pregnant, just enjoy being single, make friends, keep dating, and the right man will find you.

Now that I have two degrees, traveled the world, developed hobbies, and avoided pregnancy…my doctors are telling me to just be a single mom because I’m running out of eggs as I type this message. �

I beat teenage pregnancy to be considering single motherhood at 41. �

Damn you, parents, counselors, pastors, and everyone who gave me that advice. I can’t get that time (or my eggs) back. I hate being single at this age!! ��

Nothing is impossible with God. It's not too late to receive a miracle from him if only you believe.

Stand on God's Word on fertility, marriage and children. Confess them every day and He will miraculously perform them in your life.

Trust me, confessing God's Word works always only if you are patient.

However, I must warn you never to put your full trust in man.

You didn't see her complain doctors say she has less eggs? Did you not read where she said she's single and has no kids? One doesn't need to be a single mom before one would know that having your children around can help take away loneliness, there are single mothers everywhere for anyone to get a clue from. I also mentioned adoption. I don't understand what you mean by she's "frustrated". What is behind her frustration?

Similar Issues most ladies face in the USA and other western countries. Even couples hardly see each other despite staying under same roof. Africa is super good grin.

Everybody is afraid of their neighbours in Yankee. That country na wah. I hardly see people around except when I visit malls or Walt dysneypark or knott Berry Park in LA. Many hardly even go to church. They listen to Simon online and make their donations via same means. God didn't create man this way abeg.

I'd advise the moniker to take a break and come to Nigeria. Spend a month and you'd get a God-fearing husband.

You asked a question and answered it yourself.
You are old (though not too old) and you're already feeling like this, so just imagine what you'll be like in 10/20/30 years from now.

Perspectives: some give advice based on evil intent, some based on their personal circumstances, and some will give you advice that thy feel will be the best for you BUT the ultimate decision is ALWAYS yours to make.

Àmọ̀ràn: You can choose to marry before this year runs out because there are men waiting to marry your type - full yankee babe spec with better fonee - and will worship at your nether altar for the rest of their lives BUT are you willing and ready to marry such?

The ball is in someone's court...

"I hate being single" is an act of frustration.

I have seen a single mother who has 4 kids between the ages of 5 to 17, has an amazing girlfriend, but terribly cries of being lonely. She begs to have a man who simple tell her "Hi" often.

I've seen people who have been single all their lives and yet live fulfilling lives.

What I'm only driving at is that doing things against God's way cannot be a smarter move.

How can they be happy when they were raised by parents like yours to believe they need to have a man in their lives to complete them in some way? undecided

Jesus Christ taught us that God Almighty made created some - male and female alike - Eunuchs from birth, some become Eunuchs in life and others chose to become Eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of God - Matthew 19 vs 5 - 15 undecided

Sadly, some of those who were created Eunuchs are indoctrinated by ignorant parents into believing they are meant to marry and reproduce, setting their life into confusion from their very beginning. It is not mandatory to marry or have companions. This choice ought to be left to individuals to make on their own and in their own time. undecided

God made marital companionship a choice.... no one needs it to be happy,not even in old age. Those who don't have it can still be happy if they desire to be. And those who have it and are not happy can also choose to be happy regardless. undecided
Your comment is warped-up. Did you read the moniker's post at all? She never wanted to become Eunuch, she wanted to get married and have children shocked

So, how can someone who wishes to get married but ended up not getting a spouse be happy? How can you be happy when what you actually needed to be happy isn't there ?

Pls, what will young souls like us now do, cuz me I don't understand again... They tell us to keep ourselves etc, that the right man will come, that men out there are after your pants, once they see it they will leave .. person just confuse here jare cry cry, and I we grew up learning that and reading holy book and culture that a girl that keeps herself is very cherished in her husband sight, don't keep multiple boyfriend etc.. pls sir, do you have any word of wisdom you can give me now, cuz me I am confused o.
Anyahuruagu:
I actually discussed this with my folks the other time.

The single lifestyle of our generation affects the female gender more than the male gender.

When you age you will understand that the most important aspect of marriage is actually companionship, sex is while you are younger but as you age.

You need a confidant, a partner no matter how hard it is you need someone.

To our single women out there, please use the opportunity now.

I have met plenty aged single women, i must confess that 85% of them aren't happy with their life.

grin. Its simple nah..that's what differentiated us from other tribes. We're so unique in our ways. Some people said we originated from mecca but our alphabets are French-like, we share alot in common with French, including the amin and the way we pronounce things.

icecool12:
Standards, parents expectations.

There’s nothing wrong in being a single mother, so I’d suggest it. I know an aunt who never got married. When she hit 4th floor, my grandma advised her to have one or two children but she refused. Today she’s about 76, lonely, ashamed, miserable and hardly visits home. So please, have a child or two.

You dont have to get married to have kids. Once you are getting to the age of 35, just locate a young viable body, you don't need to tell him your mission.

If he loves you enough to marry you so be it, else you just have your baby and keep away from him to avoid a heart break a second time.

It’s so sad that a lot of people are going to fall into this thread advising and trolling women in a demeaning way, due to your story.

It’s pathetic you are doing Mr Peter Ade…., Most likely from ifetedo, oyo state or ekiti state, whichever of this profile is banked on the internet. I mean with your most likely failed blogging career…..

Going through your profile, you are man assuming to be a woman in order to stir the workings of all these sore woman haters, churning out vile and ugly comments. First off, you are not a woman, you are male COWard, a coward at that with no balls.

2. if you are a woman and you are single at over 30, own that shitt, Life continues, adopt kids. They are humans, find love in your place of religion, supermarket, dating sites and live the life out of your life.


You are pathetic op and go find a job or something, trolling even makes you more distasteful

That is why I will continue to commend Linda Ikeji for having that boy. She did what a right thinking woman should do. Not taking postinor 2 at 38.

If you want a child and you can cater for that child, by all means have that child. Even small girls of 21 are having their babies. Then a grown financially independent woman in her late 30s is somewhere asking “hope you didn’t cum inside”. undecided undecided
