A child needs so much from their mother. I think a good start would be meditating upon the qualities and virtues of the mother of all mothers, Our Lady. This will be especially helpful if your mother was not a good mother. She will help you to understand why a mother is needed.
Women are great especially mothers. What I'm confused about is if I'm going to adopt a 5, 6 year old child, what does he need at that point besides a mentor, teacher, guardian, protector, spiritual advisor & advocate. I've had the pleasure of working with many kids & disabled, and I enjoy it. I'd rather come home to a sick, dirty child on his worst day than alone. 2-3 boys I'd adopt if I did.
What is the problem if a man raises children without women present. If I choose to devote my life outside of work to my boys, what would be the problem? Would any of their wants be lacking because lack of a mother? What is selfish about taking on the responsibility of an orphan? I'm hearing a lot of emotional lashing from women because they want to be included. If you can give a reason why I should include a woman, I may as well have my own kids.
The whole point is kids are more important to me than a woman and regardless of if I can do it alone I'd rather try to raise a child or more who need it.
While I wait for marriage, I'll practice raising children by raising children. 30+ is the best age to marry, right? I'll spend my 20s raising children then and stay celibate. I want non emotional reasons why I shouldn't.
