My daughter is adopted. I had a long career path, partly because I left a career as a financial journalist to get a Ph.D. in British modernism, which turns out to be a difficult field to get a job in.

... Being single and a mom is not that different from being married and a mom, I often think, except that if I were married, I would be richer and could get someone to help me with things like housework and yard care.

[I have all the blessings of motherhood with none of the hassles of having a man in the house, so it's a choice I'd make again. I wish I could have another child, but I don't think I could support another kid, so I guess we're done. We do have three cats, so we're not totally solitary.

So lets see, a husband/father is reduced to being a wallet and handiman, but since he is a "hassle", it's not worth having him around. Oh well, I guess Darwin was right - the woman who did manage to find a man to impregnate her had a child, and you, who cannot manage to do so, is raising her.
