Dating single mothers, what's your take on it?

[debso]

no. why not?

kids become attached
you become attached to the kids
the baby's father(s) will always be in the picture one way or the other
drama will ensue from any of the above

just got done with that mess.

 

[terroristtim]

im actually in the middle of talkin to a girl who has a kid. being that me and my sons mother just broke up it kinda evens out. dont see why people frown on it so much.

 

[sonoftony]

no.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

smashing single mothers.. im all for it

personally.. i never had an issue..

 

[reduce523]

Married a single mom never an issues since the father is out of the picture.

 

[mrdoeboi]

Relations yes With a future friendship if she a cool chick

Relationship No ! Just from what I seen with Jealous baby fathers . They feel they entitled to the box years after & I don't wanna have to hurt dude.

Lol...

Is this sarcasm?

I'm not being sarcastic, from my experience, single mothers I've met tend to be very bitter and extremely territorial.

Just gonna drop some knowledge for you cats because I've been there done that.
It takes a certain man to be in a relationship like this. (Keyword: MAN)

Barring any baby daddy drama and any craziness from the woman it should be cool. Baby daddy drama was what got in the way of our relationship among other things.

If you know you can handle it, do it. Also be ready to hear a lot of people you know telling you she's not right for you and whatnot.

This.
My 2 cents is...NO.

I've had a couple experiences and both were 

The first one sprung her kid on me way tooo soon...THE FIRST DATE! so I bounced after a month.

The most recent was 17 when she had her kid, she's 34 but me and her daughter were cool but POPS is in jail, pending release...ole girl dated a bunch of losers that stalk(ed) her and the most recent just got out of jail and was coming by unannounced...I was the real life, mexican JODY...I was living 'Baby Boy' 

. Once we got serious I found my self frowning at her parenting and lack of attention to her kid but I'm not her dad so I was always hesitant in "Fathering" her.

Suffice it to say, thats over.

At the end of the day...IT'S BAGGAGE and with all that dead weight, you can't travel light, bruh.

 

[luckyloser]

No step daddy over here.

 

[daytona 5000]

I don't know....I know I'd be very hesitant. I don't have any kids, so I'd like the girl I'm talking to to also be childless.

 

[me no pass]

been down the road many times...only do it if you really REALLY REALLY like herotherwise it aint worth it

 

[AZwildcats]

would never consider it

 

[curiousgeorg3]

couldnt get into a serious relationship with someone who is reminded of their ex everyday when they see their kid.

 

[voodoo]

I've dated a few single mothers and after each one I told myself I would never do it again! There's just too many women out there without kids to deal with a woman that has a lot more baggage than I do.

That's a damn good way to put it.

so i have a question for you, did you adopt the child as well (through court)? Is the baby father still paying child support? how has that worked out for you?

 

[al audi]

I agree with ninjahood

 

[fade on you]

Nah dude, don't do it. You will NEVER be first. Im telling you this from first hand experience. It will cause so many arguments even if you don't mean for it to....and if the kids dad is involved, it will be 100x worse. DON'T PUT YOURSELF THROUGH IT!!!

 

[fresh gordon]

I have before and it's okay. To each his own.

There's some good ones out there minus the drama.

 

[executive76]

It's not ideal but I'd give it a shot with the right chick.
