I am definitely not one to tell people they need to have children to be fulfilled.  I had my son in my late 30s choosing career first.  The distribution of child rearing chores was not at all fair in my household then one day it dawned on me…the child I want, the husband I didn’t.  I am happier as a single mom.  People think I am crazy but I no longer have a free loading adult on my hands to clean up after, feed etc.  I feel guilt for not giving my son a two parent household but I was truly suffocating in that relationship (plus he was lazy!!) and the role of mom, plus career woman plus wife.  Mom and career woman, I can do that.  Never going to be a grown ass man’s servant again tho!!

I’ve heard from many single mothers that they are less stressed and are happier compared to when they were married. It makes perfect sense to me to be honest. You know how they say “it’s the hope that kills you”? I feel like that would ring true having a husband who wasn’t putting in as much work into parenthood as I was, and then constantly hoping he would change just to be disappointed. 

I’m happy for you!! Hope the best for you and your child 🥰
