Why You Should Avoid Dating Single Mothers!

I can't say I agree with every thing said here, but the man does make some valid points.

I've never dated a single mother myself but I'll have to reference the checklist if I ever come across one soon.

These 13 points go both ways. Well maybe not #13, though K-Fed is cashing in. Brit know she is supporting her and Shar's kids....
I know you're posting points primarily for the young, single, educated, professional, unattached man, so I hope these brothas aren't going out here creating more single mothers. Look at the photo of Diddy, would you want that man to be your baby daddy????
What the blogger says on #12 he is half correct, except that it is the worst thing and pretty much the cause for 1-11, 13. Too many times, especially after being a single parent 7-8-10 years they skew the parent/child relationship. oh he's my little man/she's the lady of the house What.... When folks start talking that my baby will always comes first they obviously are NOT ready for adult relationships. Essence had a single dad in a dating article talking about a woman won't have to take a back seat, but has to share front seat with my 1yr old son. Thats not even a safe place for him to sit until he is 4ft tall, so how you gonna put him before a full grown woman, with a job and can help drive and pay the note???
Not gonna front, I SHUN men with kids myself because I do have high standards, and depending how they got in the situation, no matter how nice they & kids are they see you as #5.
But I don't fool myself - death, divorce, or whatever circumstance could have me or significant other standing in the single parent place. You just have to be wise about it.

oh, regarding point #1 - For men its collateral damage - those bastards are a hit to your wallet, you never have any money, even to afford my time, that's another post though ...

That lines up with alot of my thoughts. For me it's just too much extra when being with someone is hard enough. Plus my family believes in beating kids. "You ain't my daddy" will get your rugrat snatched up around me.

I'm not sure I would beat someone else's kid. I would definitely say something to her about her kid though.

Amadeo has a good point, what happened to it takes a village...? I avoid single parents, especially if I see your kids in public/social settings acting like monkeys, you'll never get opportunity to come to my house and tear it up. SPChrist is right too, though. These days you have to be prepared to die when you put your hands on someone's kids, mainly because 8-10-12 yr olds whose parents are only in their 20s weren't raised right themselves and got issues...

That's harsh, yo. But every (female dog) I've been with always has some litters walking around. And she's got puppy daddies in the picture. My solution: go for the young pups. Less drama (kinda).

As a single mother, finding love isn’t very high on the list of priorities. There’s homework to assist with, meals to prepare, etc.But at the same time, finding a meaningful relationship can be essential for your well being.

Jony...the article does come off a bit harsh. I don't have anything against single moms and I dated a few in my past. I will say it takes a patient man to date a woman with a kid or kids - spchrist
