I'm a single mother! The biological father (I always refer to him as sperm donor) has never been a part of my child's life. I am not bitter about it. I'm am OKAY with it. I would never think ill about the man who gave me my child. I always wanted to be a mother, and someday I hope to have another child. But that is not the point of this story.
What drives me absolutely nuts...is when people tell me that I need to find someone so my child can have a daddy. I do NOT need to get involved in a relationship (or get flippin' married) so my child (or future child) can have a daddy. I do well enough to provide financially for my child and support my child emotionally. There are plenty of men in my child's life to provide that male figure. Why the heck would anyone think it's okay to tell a single mother, who is obviously very happy on her own, to go out and search for a man, just to give her child a daddy? We do not live in the dark ages anymore.
So, now that I had my many rant. Tell me what you think. If you're a single parent, what are your experiences? Any single dads out there being told you need to go find a mommy?
