Is being an only child a problem?
Stereotypes about spoiled, selfish only children are hard to sustain, but there is now a lot of research that contradicts them.
- Quite recently, behavioral scientists have shown that, contrary to popular belief, only children often do better in school than others.
- As adults, they are as socially active as those with siblings.
- Being the only child in the family is a double-edged sword: by receiving a lot of attention from parents, the only child also focuses on all their hopes, which can eventually generate some pressure.

You can always look in your local community for a pregnancy resource center. They usually have things for your baby and help out too.

29 weeks and im starting to stress more and more about being a single parent and a single parent in the sense that the dad ghosted me and there's no way to contact him. Which hurts my feelings bc my child won't know his dad and I grew up knowing mine 😭
Eboni
I’ll be a single parent also unfortunately. Except my child’s donor is trying to stay in touch with me to still come over to my place and sleep around, but never asks about a Dr appointment or how his child is doing 😒 It’s so annoying. Like you have some nerve !!!!
It’s a very different feeling when I grew up a 2 parent household all my life and my siblings and I share the same parents. It’s always been us, nothing different. But my baby boy will STILL be loved unconditionally, without a doubt!

Am I the only single woman who going through a pregnancy alone but dating. The reason I worded it this way is because I would never put my relationship status in the same category as my child[I AM NOT A SINGLE MOTHER. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A FATHER FOR MY CHILD. My motherhood vs what I wanna do outside of that is my business]My child is loved tremendously already. Secondly that’s very personal my child’s will not even be discussed with a man who is not My child’s father unless we were to get serious etc. I just feel like it’s too personal and people can be temporary. I’m also afraid of the wrong things happening in the sense of a this is a crazy world we live in. I’m protecting my child. Anyways I am actively dating because I have needs too *i enjoy Male interaction I’m an very attractive woman* lol and a being pregnant isn’t gonna stop me from possibly meeting my soulmate. And enjoying life does anyone feel the same?
Jenaye
i think you should do as you please. nothing wrong with dating while pregnant. there are a LOT of men who have no problem with it either, and more often than not, they want to be serious and are more than willing to be there for you. i’ve seen it happen plenty of times!

Men think they can mistreat you after pregnancy because you won’t be desireable as a single mother. idc if being single is gonna make me the happiest mom for me and my child, I’ll pick being single any day of the week
Tee
You won’t be the first single mom and for damn sure won’t be the last. I love being single, because who not about to stress me and my kids out is a no good ass man. I love being single, it’s hard but it’s peaceful. I go through but I get through.

I feel mom guilt because as a single mother I feel like I fail my child about his father, he wants nothing to do with him and it just breaks my heart 💔😔
Ebony
I’m so sorry. Please don’t feel like you failed just bc he didn’t wanna step up. You’re doing everything you can to take care of your baby and that right there is enough mama. You can’t control what that man does. The decision he made does not make you a failure. It makes him a deadbeat. Put his ass on child support and do the best you can for your baby. You got this mama 🙏🏽
