they may be. but, unlike single moms whose achievements and de-achievements are more easily visible, one would have to dig a bit harder, to identify these non-mommy survivors.
we are all survivors... of sorts. we just have to dig deep enough, to identify the "enemy" that we had to overcome to survive.
but i think, many will agree with me, that raising a child by oneself, takes more effort than other problems.
Survivor is just a general term for any person that overcomes adversity. Pwedeng galing sa hirap at dahil sa tyaga, yumaman. Hindi nakapag aral ngunit nakapagtayo ng malaking negosyo. A good example is Isko Moreno & Marc Pringis. Survivors never give up. Ang mothers lang nga, iba talaga. Just carrying the baby for 9 months, giving birth then rearing the baby. It’s hard enough with a husband, what more without one. Sabi nga ni Queen sa movie “300”, “only real women give birth to real men”. They may have made bad decisions, but you still have respect for them.
I agree that single mothers are strong and of course it is hard to raise a child without a husband
BUT dr d's statement is mothers vs non-mothers.
Children or no children, it has little to do with the strength of a woman's character.
so you also think less of women who did not bear children?
I feel strongly about this topic because I consider myself as having 2 mothers - my biological mother and my mother who helped raise me.
My second mom did not carry me for 9 months but she as a real mother for me.
My point is, would I have better war stories than my grandpa who had experienced these **** stories on war or something.. I've just experienced street fights. And No, you are not less of a woman because you haven't bore a child, but we have to admit these women who experienced bearing and raising children must have experienced a lesson or two making them more "experts" than us, yes like your folks.

Cathy.
I think what the other guys want to say is that the mothers already proved their mettle. They place their child first above their dreams.
Those not yet mothers officially are the wildcard. Can we say that every single non mothers out there want to have a child, be it planned or unplanned?
It is not a which one is better argument. It is just "if you look at the history of a person".

Not all women who bore children can be called survivors. I know women, rich & poor who, right after giving birth handed the baby over to the yaya or their mothers to take care of the child. Meron naman ladies who never got married but overcame odds to get where they are ( like those who devote their lives to the company. My point is, the child is just a factor but not the determining one.
Haha hindi po galit. Peace haha. I know this because above anything else, iuuna ko sweldo ng staff ko kesa other operating expenses na kailangan bayaran. Ang guess sino sa kanila ang talagang importante na maswelduhan silang Tama at on time? Yes, the family guys and girls.

Sometimes, I can be really bad. I have friends who will not get married (either by choice or by circumstance). I suggested to a few of them to why not have a baby or child na lang. Me kasi, I really love having kids more than anything & I am a proactive father (no driver or yaya).
