But it does make me multi dimensional and more complex than when I was single.  when I was single all I had to worry about was me, and my outfit for that day and like my little social life.  and my little interests.  Now it is big time complex....layers of figuring things out on many levels.

 That's great that you are pleased with your life's choices - I'm pretty sure I speak for the oval of oafishness when I say that no one has a quarrel with that.  What they have a quarrel with is your apparent belief (again, I honestly don't think you believe this) that everyone else must rank life's choices the same way you do.  
Some people shouldn't become parents.  If a person recognizes that about him/herself and avoids parenthood, I respect that a whole lot more than someone who has a child because s/he was trying to live up to someone else's ideal of what a "complete" life is.
