Fewer folks having kids in the down economy? Not in my world.

My friend-list is slowly drifting toward all-baby, all the time. Which is really exciting and joyful and makes me happy to read, though at the same time makes me feel like a bit of a fuckwit for not having managed a lifestyle which can handle being a single mom.

I have always known I wanted to be a parent, and have also been well aware of the high likelihood of having to do it on my own. So how did I manage to get to 33 and and not still not have gotten my shit together enough to do be able to something that is so important to me? <sigh>

More cheerfully, all of you family making folk are being unwitting resources as I point other expectant dear ones at some of your posts. :}

yeah, well, I did put the comment specifically as a reply to the 'income' comment. :)

I've always said I wanted a village to raise my child. It's proven to be somewhat difficult to really get the pieces in place for that, but maybe I haven't actually been specifically trying so much as hoping things would just happen.
