Hi! I'm looking for a male co-parent. I notice that a lot of profiles on here are very pragmatic and emphasize having good genetics, but I feel that children thrive most when the relationship between their parents is warm and happy. I'm asexual but would love to find a best friend to have kids with!

My field is in education and lately I've worked with infants and toddlers, but it was discouraging to me to see the day-to-day of the infant rooms. There were usually seven babies to two teachers (often more but legally we couldn't report that), and the kids just never got held or nurtured. I realized how important it would be to me to be able to stay home with the child(ren) until they were at least 18 months. I do have a Master's degree so my goal isn't to stay home and mooch off of you forever! I think that after the child(ren) are in daycare, an egalitarian division of working and household duties would be awesome. Hopefully our relationship would last for a very long time and our kids would have a stable family to grow up in. However, for those first 18 months or so of children's lives, I really would want to stay home with them and socialize them in play groups and such rather than putting them directly in daycare.

I have one turtle and one cat. I'm currently vegan but might have to take a break from that during pregnancy. I'm an atheist. I speak Spanish because I studied abroad in college. I'm transitioning from preschool back into K-12 because I need a living wage. And I really don't have all my ducks in a row but I'm figuring out that nobody ever really does. Maybe I'm just more transparent about it ;) I tell you all this because, as I said at the outset, I really want us to have a warm and loving family and I want you to be my best friend!
