The woman (rightly so) will always put the child first, period.
Well, hopefully the parents will put the child first, and the "new" Dad won't be defensive and will rather try and be a unifying force. Children of divorce have it particularly difficult, with issues of trust and anger they have trouble resolving (as they often don't even recognize them). A strong man who takes his place as the head of the family can really pull a family together. Of course his wife must help and they have to work together and be honest and talk to each other. But that is true of any marriage. Kids need a mother and a father and I applaud any man who takes on the challenge of marrying a woman who already has kids. It's very tough sometimes. But I can tell you from experience I'm sure glad my second husband wasn't put off by my 2 children. They've turned out quite well, and I can thank him for a good bit of that.

All of the single moms we spoke with think the possibility of meeting
and dating a half-sibling is very remote because they are very open
or plan to be open with their children.
I suspect they'll never be this honest a few years from now:
"Well son, the truth is that I'm a shrewish man-hater. That's why I didn't
find a husband to help me create a family. I hope that knowing this doesn't
make for trouble in your current gender-identity psycho-therapy sessions."

I really am screwed now (pun not intended). Perhaps lifelong singlehood isn't as bad as it sounds. Tell ya what. In exchange for half of the net worth of our community property, you can have my wife. :-)

Its better than just sleeping with anyone you want without protection and producing children without wanting them.Maybe.
But it would be better for everyone concerned if they simply just buy a quality dildo and spare the rest of us their self-righteousness!

You can become Miss right all you want and if there are fewer and fewer quality men willing to commit, this situation is going to get worse, no matter how Miss Right one has become.

Mow a lawn you lazy POS.
I thought that's one of those jobs Americans won't do. Of course with the allure of sperm bank donating, who would want to? Maybe he could mow the lawn after donating.

MORAL ABSOLUTES PING.DISCUSSION ABOUT:
More Women Not Waiting For Mr. Right
Many of these women have probably aborted infants and now they view a child as just another "possession" to aquire as easily as possible.

Perfectly smart and understandable. And very wise! Good luck in all things! ;-)
Thank you. :) You can't imagine the negative reaction I get, particularly from other women, when I tell them that choosing a mate is a decision that should be made on a practical basis as well as an emotional one. And the emotional one isn't primary.
To: Gritty
So why are men selling their semen? I guess you could say it would be better for everyone if they would just jack off into a garbage can rather than sell it.

These women, IMO are very very selfish. They would willfully deny their children fathers. Horrible choice. I adored my father growing up, and as an adult as well. Without a father, these children have no way of learning what a man is or what to expect out of themselves, (if they are boys) nor what to expect from men (if they are girls)
Also, it is a fathers place to teach his children respect for their mother (and vise versa) For a mother to teach a child respect for her, can only be just so effective, and through the teen years especially, comes off as selfish, and all about her, instead of how a father comes off.
For instance, when a teen gets a little mouthy, and the mother says don't talk to me like that, it comes across to the kid many times, as just one more thing to parent back to her. When a father says don't talk to your mother that way, it is much more effective, more teaching than preaching.

"Goodbye men, it was nice knowing you.", We still need to be kept around to pay for the government run child care and/or welfare these single mothers will need. If you look at it that way, we're all fathers!

Women that no man would want, having children to feel loved and needed. They are totally unsatisfied with any man that they could actually 'get'.

to be honest, this doesn't bother me that much. we have low birth rates in this country, and if these women want children and they can afford to raise them, let them get pregnant if they want.

"Many of these women have probably aborted infants..."
How on earth did you come to this conclusion?

Well gee whiz, if the sperm donor sounded so great, why didn't they meet and get married? Yeah I know....
The coming genetic disaster is scary.
