Only a selfish fool. Single parenting is sub-optimal -- one focused stable parent is better than two parents in a negative relationship, but to set out with that as your plan? It's a poor one at best.
The simple fact is that no one parent can do it all, as well as two can. There are things that young boys can only learn from their dad, and for likewise girls and their moms.
Can a dad prepare his daughter for her first period? Can a mom teach her son how to defend himself? Sure, either is possible, but it's sooooo much more difficult, especially for the child. (In the case of girls, at around 10 a sense of modesty kicks in that's almost excruciating -- most would just about rather die than have to discuss their private parts with a man.)
So re-think your plan, giving top priority to the well being of the children.

Children need a 2 parent committed household. What does not committed mean to kids? It means they can shack up, it means that working hard as a team does not matter. Then when those kids become teens what morals and values do they have. People want the easy way out. It is easy to do the wrong thing, but takes courage to do the right thing.

Nope finished with having children if you asked me a few years ago!! I would love a man who was commited to the children without a doubt. Marriage didn't even come into the equasion. But was serious about me and not sleeping with other women. So there is commitment there but no marriage. That sounds ldeal

I'm married and part of the reason I got married was that I really want kids...but sometimes now I wish I had been more open minded to having kids without necessarily getting married.

that's great dude, but it's just not fair to kids to bring them up without a Mommy or a committed relationship, it's not just about what you FEEL like, it's about doing what's right.

Not me. I successfully avoided marriage and kids.
Too many people on this planet anyway..
