Depending on how life will treat me, I do think I might become a foster parent at one point in my life.

* Thirty nine years old isn't too old to adopt. * However, if you personally feel it's too old in your own mind, than it is. *

* C'mon over to America and see if you can find yourself the man of your dreams. Who knows? Maybe you'll find the love of your life here and you can adopt together. You're not too old to adopt here in the USA. * j/k about coming to America. * [Edited 9/30/13 15:34pm] | |

Yes, being in a relationship requires time and investment. However, that's supposed to enjoyable. Not a drag. * I could never do the online dating thing. EVER. It's just not my cup of tea filling out profiles and all that jazz. Online dating sites would not be my thing. No way Jose. I can sympathize with you on that. There are other alternatives however to waiting for him to arrive at your door. How about getting out and doing some fun recreational activities where you might be able to run into Mr. Wonderful? | |

well. in the case of nannying, it's the luck of the draw, you could very well end up with little shits, but generally (I'd say in MOST cases) you really like your own kids the problem is that they have to LIVE with you I'm the mistake you wanna make | |

Women are better off not having delusional and completely unrealistic expectations about love, life and just about everything.
But, really, people are simply better off in so many ways when they have a partner. | |

Well, it depends on whom you ask because that's a broad statement. | |

In my twenties I couldn't wait to get married. Got married in my thirties and it was the WORST mistake of my life. I was much better off before. My husband is like another effin kid to take care of! And he won't go away without an expensive damn fight! Older people always told me that I was doing fine by myself and I should just chill.....how I wish I had listened! **************************************************
Pull ya cell phone out and call yo next of kin...we 'bout to get funky......2,3 come on ya'll | |

It is a broad statement and it's also true. | |

Older folks tell me this all the time. The first thing that flies out of their mouth is "take your time, no need in rushing". And I do. You have those folks but then you have the folks (mostly family members) who constantly ask if you've met anyone yet at every single family function. Umm, yeah I meet guys all the time but it doesn't mean that I want to date them. Why is it the status quo that if you are single and not married yet that something is wrong with you and that the first guy who shows you any interest, you are supposed to jump on it and date him? Umm no. I date and go out with who I want to. And there are times where I don't meet any guys that interest me enough to even go out with them. Just because a guy is single doesn't mean that equals an opportunity for me to date him. Such closed mindedness makes me vomit. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

^^^and you can do good and bad by yourself. | |

You can also do better (or worse) with a partner.
Perhaps the natural assumption when one is speaking of being "better off" is that the partner is a good one.
Of course, most people are *not* better off with a bad partner. But human nature tends to gravitate us towards doing things with others/sharing rather than being alone (for the most part - I do enjoy my alone time). We are social creatures. Having that person who is your "partner in crime", as it were, to share life with, seems to be a wonderful thing. | |

* * IMO, being with a partner is only "better" if the partner is a good one. Just my . | |

Who said ANYTHING about a partner that is abusing you? It's not just have a shitty partner or be alone. | |

I cannot assume that's what JustErin meant, and that's why I wanted precision in what she meant about a partner. You know, there are some women out there who pick a man or have a man, just because he's a man, just to say "I have a man", but he's beating the living crap out of her or just plain not treating her right. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Hmmm. I believe that "good partner" and "living crap beaten out of you" are mutually exclusive terms. Especially when qualified with the phrase, "better off". I understood what Erin meant.
But perhaps explanation is helpful for others. | |
