Would you date a single mom/dad for a serious relationship?

Question

Summeroflove · Accepted Answer

I see this question a lot as for me personally it just depends on their situation but if I didn’t feel I was ready I would break it off as I don’t not only not want to waste my own time but the time of someone else’s.

A single parents situation be it a mom or dad depends. Some people are single of former marriages. There is divorce some people end up divorced at no fault of their own other times maybe it’s a red flag depending on the situation. I am careful to believe a story that someone tells me though about why they got divorced until there is more trust built. But I digress or someone becomes widowed such as a car crash things they can’t control.

Some people are irresponsible sleeping around and putting themselves above their children that disgusts me. Some people may have a child out of rape again they can’t control that. Maybe some people were reckless at one point but are now being responsible and being the best parent they can be I fully respect that.

But everyone is different someone not dating a single parent be it mom or dad doesn’t make them a bad person. It doesn’t always mean they are judging someone as a human being but rather they just aren’t ready.

Yes I have . In the past. But I tried to explain to her that. I have kids they come first... I know this and understand it..

But when we were together she would yell at them.. or if they came in from out side and example * the would walk in to the house a yell mom mom I'm hungry or really any thing and she would say can you see I'm talking and make them go to there room and wait for her.. I would ask why did you send them to thete room

She would say because they interrupted her.
And I was looking at her with a smile and I would say really. .. And then I would say where was I
Because they didn't interrupt me they're hungry. They're growing Water and food

Your kids come first. Believe me, it's not gonna hurt my feelings.
At all I have kids. They come first

And if they did something stupid she would always yell at them
I really couldn't handle that

But I do truly like.
Mother sitter singbecause they usually have it together and they take responsibility for their kids. To help them grow and become better people. And they're willing to sacrifice to do that

Lliam · Answer

Not if their children lived with them.

When I was 34, I was in a short relationship with a 31 year old who was near finalizing her divorce. She and her ex shared custody with their 4 kids. We rented a house together for 8 months and the kids stayed with us sometimes. That relationship turned into a nightmare. It was great at first, but I gradually began to learn that she had serious issues.

I did meet an absolutely wonderful 30 year old lady when I was 36. We lived together for almost 2 years. I loved her with all my heart and she loved me.

She had had a very rough childhood. Her step father had sexually molested her regularly for 10 years from a very young age. The experience messed her up. She became an alcoholic and wound up getting married and having a son when she was 17. They got divorced a couple years later, the father got custody of the child, and she moved to another state. She and her son remained close, though, and visited each other during school breaks.

By the time we met, she had been in therapy for several years, was a recovering alcoholic, had a good career, supported herself, and was determined to be a normal girl.

She was beautiful, bright, plucky, hard working, fun, sweet, loving, caring, honest, loyal, and had healthy ethics and values. I loved and admired her more than I can express.

No, I wouldn't.

I'm not even sure I want my own kids.
Dating a single parent seems especially complicated. It's not just a relationship between you and the one you're dating, their kid (s) is a part of it as well.
And it's not your own kids, so you're in this middle thing of not being a parent but still have the responsibilities.

Then we also have the other parent, statistically, this will cause friction and drama.

And I imagine it's difficult to get some alone time as well.

It's just tlnot something I see myself doing.

If I ever became a single parent myself, that might change.
And yeah, maybe I'll have another output of the whole thing when I'm older.

MLGbreezy · Answer

Honestly have considered it there is this one really pretty girl in my area that likes me I knew her before she got pregnant but she had a boyfriend at the time and if she was single we definitely would’ve dated cause there were sparks even when we talked back then. Fast forward a few years to now and there’s still sparks and she is single but now she. Has a child from the last man she was with and that dudes nowhere to be found. I’m not ready for a child in my life so it’s weird and she did say she’s not looking for a relationship right now (I’d asked before knew she had a child ).

It’s a really shame she seem very sweet and very loyal and loving and she’s real pretty too but guess it just wasn’t meant to be.

glennos89 · Answer

I have been dating a woman with a child and I grew really close to her child because it didn't have a male father figure in his life.

The sad thing about it is that I'm not allowed to interact with her son anymore because we broke up. It's like losing 2 important people at the same time and also it's kinda hard for her son as well I believe

Shiprex · Answer

I have and it was ok. She was my high school crush but we parted ways when I left and never caught up till 15 years and 2 kids and a marriage later (for her).
Lasted a year but she had some peculiar expectations and I wasn't up for that so we parted ways and I think she went back to her ex who was similar looking to me strangely enough.

Spencer10 · Answer

Why the hell no? Its stupid to limit yourself when looking for a relationship that works. Judge every woman as an individual. .

Professor-college · Answer

Well I think it depends on how all the children are... I mean if they are already teenagers or older it might be easier than if they are younger... Little children my actual remember their father and they will be comparing you and able to do a good job it will not go the best way possible

OneViewpoint · Answer

Me? No. I've been there and done that raising my own kids. I made all the sacrifices of my time and needs. I'm not looking to do it again with someone else's kids.

Zack-Bann · Answer

Not unless Im also a single dad at that time Going from single and childless to suddenly fathering a child that doesn’t even have my eyes is not something I would want

alice55 · Answer

I wouldn't, I wouldn't support the sight of the other woman neither hearing talk about her also not being the mom would not be a agreeable feeling I would always feel like I don't belong

NathanDavis · Answer

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

Yes why not but i prefer a single woman without kids, i'm a single dad, maybe it ain't fair but that's what i like...

sawno · Answer

Yes, if she's special and fits me well. I wouldn't do it if I think there's 10 other girls like her I could date instead.

Hellraiser1984 · Answer

Yes. This whole avoid single moms things is such bs. If you marry her her children become your step children. You love them like they are your own. They are your step children not an accessory or a compromise.

DJB72 · Answer

Yes, as long as the kid and I get along and my son gets on with them

Godihateyou · Answer

Single mom, never. As a single dad young tarts throw themselves at me to no avail. Why can't I find an old lady thats never been fucked?

RedThread · Answer

Probably not because I don't think I want children. That could always change.

MikeRJ · Answer

If I liked her well, yes. But it is kind of like you have a relationship with her kids as well, because they will see you as a father figure.
