  • Confession: "My new partner wants a child but I don’t want more kids”
    Finding love as a single parent is fantastic! But what happens when your new partner has a baby-shaped hole in their heart and yours is firmly filled with independence? This is the dilemma facing Sarah, a 28-year-old mom whose boyfriend yearns for fatherhood. Sarah has poured her heart into raising her son and now, with him in Grade 5, she's finally found a sense of freedom. However, her boyfriend's desire for a child has been pressuring her, pushing Sarah towards drastic solutions like secretly getting her tubes tied. Sarah sent Stacey and J Sbu the following:
    "I am a 28-year-old single mother of one who I had when I was very young, and I’m done with having more kids. My son is in grade 5 now, and we live a good life. My boyfriend (35) has no children, and he is desperate to have a child. I don’t want to have any more children, as I finally have the freedom that comes with having older children. I am feeling the pressure of him wanting a child, and since I’m set on not having more, I suggested he get someone else pregnant, we maintain our relationship because I love him, but I’m not willing to sacrifice myself or my life for this need. I am even thinking of tying my tubes without him knowing."
    This situation requires open communication and maybe the option of finding a middle ground. Maybe they could explore fostering a child? Ultimately, the key is respecting each other's desires. Building a future together means compromise, but not self-sacrifice. While we’re no experts in this realm, we do believe that if their dreams of parenthood remain miles apart, a tough decision might be necessary.

  • Confession: “I gifted my friend baby items and then spotted them on Facebook Marketplace”
    In a generous gesture, a woman known only as Jessica treated her friend to a few baby items after learning of her pregnancy. She offered an array of items and her friend gracefully accepted. However, Jessica saw that the items were listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace a few weeks later. Shocked and taken aback, she confronted her friend who defended her actions. The friend stated that once the items were handed over, they were now hers and she had every right to do with them as she pleased. The woman felt used, adding that it seemed as though her generosity was taken advantage of. She does not feel like it’s something friends should do.
