Who Wants to Be a Single Parent
To be a single parent is not easily, you need to become more stable financially, spiritually and mentally in order to give a good future to your child, to be strong independently, but did you know that there are people who chose to be a single parent?
Just recently, when I read the article of @Eunoia when he talks about being a single parent, saying "Some people don’t want true love anymore, but want legitimate children... ", who gives his overview about the said topic.

I have shared before in my previous articles that I have this one of my bestfriend who get pregnant by his ex-boyfriend, that as of now she became a single mom, a strong and independent one. I remember when we were in Highschool, during that time Wattpad in our campus is very popular. My bestfriend like to read it whole day, even our teacher is discussing in front. She have a secret big notebook, which only me can read it. What's written on her big notebook are those stories that she made inspired by the stories she read in Wattpad. Just like a typical girl that time, she wants to have a partner same as the leading man in the story. But this dream of her changed when we reached college. We were talking in their house when she said that she wants to have a foreigner partner in the future, but since it's hard to find a faithful one then what she wants is just to get pregnant by a foreigner, it's okay if the man doesn't support her but atleast she have a beautiful/handsome child.
Same from what my mom told me months ago, that she have a co-worker who is always flexing her daughter to them when they are having chitchats. One day, her co-worker called her and told her to go outside the company as her daughter is in the gate. Since my mom wants to see it, she go outside and saw that her daughter was really beautiful, half American. By the way, her co-worker is a single mom, but so satisfied because what she only wants is to have a beautiful daughter and not a partner.
Lastly, I have this gay bestfriend, not a typical one who likes to wear girly clothes, you can see him wearing manly outfit, neat and clean, just his heart is also for man. He have a huge dream, he take every opportunity to give scholarship for his studies and to do make-up as his sideline job. One of is dream is to have his own family someday, he was open trying to change himself someday that somehow he will fall in love to a girl. But recently, when we are talking, he mentioned that he only want to have a baby, even with no partner. To have a surrogate mother, just like what some of our LGBTQ+ community wants to have.
Hearing this kind of stories makes me realized that in life, there are people who only wants to have a son/daughter and not a partner. Some reasons might be, they don't want to get hurt having a partner so they prefer to have a child at least to have someone that they can call as their own.
Some professional, prefer to go abroad and choose the best surrogate mother for them, their ultimate goal is to have a child whom they can showered their love and care. All they want to do is to make the child's life better and meaningful. Some people who prefer to be a single parent encountered abuse from their own parents, broken relationship, and/or bullying when they was young, now that they have the right and chance to do what they want, then what we need to do is to respect their decision.
Some may judge their choice, but remember, look at yourself, are you perfect?
