Reply #9: Settling is bullshit, unfair to both parties, and a really fucked up situation to bring a kid into. [View All]

If a professional woman wants a kid that bad, and there's no suitable potential life partner in the picture, that's what sperm banks are for. "settling" is just snagging some good-enough guy to play house and get the bills paid until she's ready to raise the kids without him. If they're not wildly in love or compatible to begin with, how happy are they going to be with a colicy baby and a late minivan payment?

Being a single parent is one of the hardest things anybody will do, but it's a hell of a lot easier than being a parent in a failing relationship.
