Single motherhood is my choice but my boyfriend won’t give me a baby


“Growing up, I’ve never imagined my life without children of my own. Even as a child, my mum said I loved to play with kids and would happily offer to take care of the younger children around. I had my prefect life figured out and it involved a husband and most importantly, children.

Unfortunately, it's not happening for me. I am thirty eight years old and still unmarried. My boyfriend of two years is great but he is younger and doesn’t want to get married yet. That is not my major worry though. While I want to get married, I want kids more. I believe a husband should come before children but with my situation, I don’t know if / when it will happen for me.

As I’m getting older, my sense of restlessness is growing and I find I have nowhere to channel all my excess emotional energy so I’m left with this emptiness inside – an emptiness I think children will fill. I discussed with my boyfriend about having a baby. I told him if he doesn’t want to get married now, it is okay with me as long as he can give me a baby.

I wouldn’t say he freaked out but things definitely tensed up in the room. He said he would love to give me a baby but he didn’t know if it was the right thing to do now since we were not married. I explained that he was the one who didn’t want to get married now and I didn’t have the time to waste; I’m no spring chicken and my ovaries are not getting any younger.  Asking for time to think about it, he left. The next day, he called and said he didn’t want to have a baby. My boyfriend will not give me a baby.

I’m sitting on my bed and my thoughts are running amok. I want to have my own child – children, if possible. I don’t think I’ll ever be truly happy without my own children in my life. What do I do?”

I admire this lady's integrity. She wants her boyfriend's consent to get pregnant. Well, Let me advise you, sister. If you're really serious about having a child, either you adopt or you gather the courage to forget contraception for some time. When the deed gets done, its your body and the most he can do is deny it but you would have got what you wanted.

With so many guys out there, why are you waiting for that your one BF? Is he a genius that will give you a genius baby? Please find your way. In fact, with the level of hunger in the world today, I'm sure you can get someone to hire for this baby business. Forget that guy please. Unfortunately, I am married if not I would have contacted this blogger to connect us so I can offe my service. But my wife will kill me so ... enough said

So anon 23:25, your own solution is to take 'it' by force, hmm? Lol! But the adoption part makes sense. Your child doesnt have to be biological. Many orphans out there who need someone who really wants them to come and love them. Please sis, share that love by adopting a lonely child

My guy lay off since you are married. I am very single and I can do the 'job' very well, and deliver in eight months three weeks even.
If this chick is serious I can leave my details here for her. I am a lot better and more couraqeous than this boyfriend. I am not aware this boyfriend is Albert Einstein or Tony Atlas.

Guy, I think am even better qualified. I have a BSC, Masters and will soon finish my PHD. I do charity work and am very humble and gentle. With me, she will be sure of having a genius baby with good character. If interested, just reply this comment so we can discuss

But that's the reality,there are plenty male species that would willing help you out in your quest,so I say,wake up Sista and shop around!
There are guys that are willing to give you a baby and also give the baby their name,there are also sperm donors only,either way,just get up and get a sperm donor!!!
