Not sure if this is the right place but time isn’t on my side and neither is a boyfriend. Tried but I’m attracting losers.

I have savings and earn £30k. Yes it will be hard but not having a child seems like a miserable life.

Seeking donation*

I’ve had two abortions as well which I regret.

I'm having a fantastic time and life being child free.

It's not a miserable existence and life to not have a child, unless you make it to be.

Having children is an act of selfishness, and no one has a child for the right reasons.

Just because you want something, doesn't mean you should have.

This world, and life isn't something anyone should want to and should bring another human being into.

You seem like you only want a child to fill an emptyness and empty voids within yourself.

It's cruel to bring other human beings into this world..

Someone who doesn't have a say so in the matter.

Maybe they wouldn't want to come into this world.

Whatever crappy horrific things that happen in a person's life.. including passing on...

Is the parents fault.

If they wouldn't have been selfish and had them, none of it would have happened .

A child won't fill or fix what's broken missing or empty within you.

A child isn't a cure for loneliness or boredom

What a lovely supportive person Tidd sounds. They don't sound miserable at all.

Op, honestly it's up to you. People manage on far less money. I would highly reccomend though checking what support you will have. Raising a baby is hard and child care is expensive. Our local childminder is nearly 20k a year and most range from 15-20kish full time so if you have no one to take care of them whilst you're at work you're gonna struggle. Though I live in London it may be cheaper where you are but take a look before you go ahead.

But if that's what you really want then you'll find ways to make it work

But please don't thjnk that life will be miserable without kids... Life can be miserable with kids. You should have kids cos you have lots of love to give and desperately want them not cos you're worried about having a miserable exisitanxe as many things you can do to fulfill your life without children.
