Is it wrong or a bad thing to start preparing for a baby when your not in a relationship?

So yeah I'm not in a relationship, and no where near it. I'm not one of those women who wants a baby so badly she's crazy, I'm just planning for a future that could come in a few or more years. Some people think that it's silly and hate listening to me when I go off in to information on baby things, but then others are so grateful that I helped them with question on the same baby things.

I don't just plan for the baby I plan everything. Well almost everything. I can't for tell the future. But I've got lot of stuff thought of that I think is a good idea. Why wait until it's to late or if something crazy happens. That's how I feel about it?

Update:

Just to add in, I am looking for a relationship. But not right now. Work comes first. Then I can find a nice man, who wants children. And if we can't get pregnant there always adoption and a surrogate parent. I've looked up that too.

    Well you said your not crazy about it so I think it's totally fine. The only time it makes me mad is when you have girls who are obviously no where near ready for a child going off about how they want a baby sooooooo bad and will do anything or anyone to get one. But there is nothing wrong with being prepared.

    In response to Alice,

    She obviously wouldn't fall in love with someone who doesn't want kids if it's already something that she knows is important to her and not being able to conceive doesn't mean she can't one day have a baby there are many options available. I don't think being prepared for something a very normal step in life will hurt your chances of finding a boyfriend/husband unless you are one of these crazy girls but you don't sound that way at all.

    Ok with this behavior you arent ever going to have a boyfriend and by extension, a baby. How old are you anyway? Stop worrying about a baby and worry about right now, work, friends, actual life not something that may or may not not happen. You say you dont know the future, youre right. What if you fall in love with someone who doesnt want kids? Or you cant conceive? Worry about right now

    "preparing for a baby" as in getting financially settled? starting a savings account? taking care of your health? all completely reasonable and prudent if you think that might be in your future.

    "preparing for a baby" as in picking out names and onesies and a nursery set and a preschool? neither realistic nor healthy. not only might you never have a baby at all, but even if you do, that baby may be vastly different than you currently expect; your partner may have different hopes and expectations than yours requiring compromises; and you yourself are unlikely to want exactly the same thing 5 or 10 or 15 or however many years down the line you are when you have them.

    i will answer your queries so as. concern of hell isn't a reason of me, in certainty I dodge concern as much as possible. quite no longer terrified of screwing up, this is the place the final instructions are learnt. pondering I even have had many human beings tell me my ideals are crammed, do no longer think of peer-stress is a ingredient. I used to stick to blindly, then my Karma ran over my Dogma and that i took the blinkers off. So all in all i might say that I in good shape into the perfect classification, besides the undeniable fact that as an clever and knowledgeable member of society I additionally comprehend technological wisdom and that is place, i've got faith in evolution as a technique used by using the divine. And purely a tip, rationalising a non secular being with a sort of learn firmly entrenched interior the actual international seems extremely pointless.

    I don't see a problem with it, it's good to plan major life changes well in advance.
