It's not so much about "could you" as "should you"

Willingly entering single motherhood? Let us know how that works out

With proper planning, like with everything else, she'll be fine.

She should if that is what she wants to do. I don't see anything wrong with it. If you are sh*tty and irresponsible, you will be sh*tty and irresponsible with or with out another parent.

I'm 26 now and I'm currently in my first official relationship. I was always in panic mode since college because things in the relationship department just never really happened for me. I was always longing for a relationship, wanting to be out and about on my own, etc. Once I stopped obsessing about life and all the things I wanted to be doing and focused on what I should be doing, everything started to fall into place (things are still falling  ). Also I stopped obsessing about relationships and started to not take dating seriously (recently i had a plan to only date to get my experience up. I'm kind of a late bloomer ya'll) the relationship just came out of nowhere. Anywho, I made a list of 30 things to do by 30 and getting married is on the list. Now if it doesn't happen until 31, 32, 33 that's all good as well. Now I'm getting ready to graduate with my masters, move out and get my own spot, and get that salary with benefits. A new chapter is opening and I can't wait to see what happens!

I know single motherhood is a touchy subject round these parts, but I think being a parent means being selfless. And I think it's pretty selfish to start kids off with a deficit like not having two parents on purpose.
And yes, we know single parents can raise healthy children but lets not pretend like it's a walk in the park. Even the most responsible, stable single parents say they need an extra pair of eyes, hands, etc.

It's not touchy to me, I just don't get the other side. I don't think I'd be a single parent by breeding. But I wouldn't knock anyone with a network or proper planning.
Most single parenting gone bad has to do with improper planning and mistakes...they never wanted to be a single parent to begin with.
I have yet to meet someone who has planned out donors, adoption, etc, and has the same problems as those who just have 'oops' babies or dissolved relationships.
