^Only catch to that is, having a child reduces a single woman’s chances of getting married. Probably not an issue with Lila, but I believe those are the stats.
Shortly after I met my husband(then just a friend) we became roommates(chancy, I know, but I was young). I was new to the city and was living in an extended stay hotel at the time. I told him I had a 4 year-old son living in NC with his dad and I needed to go up and get him.
He borrowed his dads quadcab pickup truck(he only had a two-seater pickup at the time) and drove me up and back in one day. On the way back, the little rugrat passed gas in his sleep the whole ride back. My husband was completely grossed out and disgusted, but it didn’t stop him from asking me to marry him a month later.
We’ll be married 12 years in April and that kid has added, body and foot odor to the mix! LOL!!
I believe I read that a single woman with a child (let alone a child with major health issues) living with her has a greater chance of being kidnapped than in finding a lifelong mate (married 10 year or longer).
Sounds wrong, but those appear to be the numbers. But then, about half of all marriages last less than 10 years so maybe it isn’t that bad.
Raising kids doesn’t come with a manual (so I’m told) Lila loves Annie & will care & provide for her & teach her not to blackmail & threaten people like Tad

Let’s see:
The maturity combo between the two equals out.
She’s no more prepared to raise a kid than the rest of us were when that kid came along!
Of course Annie’s raking in the dough on the side and Lila’s job looks promising for her bank account and a possible husband!

If we needed tests & licences to have kids we’d be extinct by now …
