A woman's child should be her #1 priority and a guy that can't understand this should not be anywhere near a single mom.
Single mom's can get dates because it's honestly not a big deal. Most are not looking for a caregiver and free paycheck.
A person's job will come before their S.O, they aren't going to skip work because their SO wants to have lunch just like a single mom isn't going to neglect her child because some clingy boyfriend wants more time.
Sure it can be but it would interfere from her dating life though. Lot of guys don't want that, no drama and no baggage.
There's such a thing called "balance"
Someone with kids can have a social life, a family life and a professional life.
Why is this concept so hard to understand?
So why are these single mom's work a low wage job?
I know a few single mothers who have used online dating and have had good results in finding dates and creating relationships with some of the men they dated. i don't know that many single mothers IRL BTW.
I think the men on this forum who consistently say that single mothers are only looking for a man because they provide a paycheck have no idea what they are talking about because most are still looking for a connection, the only thing they may be looking for is a man who might be a decent role model for there kids, not a man who's looking to smoke dope, come home drunk and smelling of weed.
Hell, even the single mother of 4 kids I know found someone and is settling down with him, and the guy doesn't do anything to help raise those kids that isn't his choice to do.
Yes you figured us out. We have a child so now our life is over. No more men in our life. And only concentrate on the kid. And when the child is older and hanging with friends we should only paint murals of the child. Then the child goes to college and becomes a adult. I should sit in my rocking chair and knit a blanket.
We are human.We need love and interaction from another human being.Doing grown up hobbies, outings, conversations.
I'm really trying to understand the level of assumptions that many assume. The real world isn't like this. Shun the single mom's!!!
I would not say the life is over though but it sure puts a barrier in the dating scene.
I can't believe I actually agree with something OP says.
I personally do not feel single parents should date, if their kids are younger than, say 12-13.
Up till then they are very attached to you and any attempt to bring in another party is almost doomed to failure.
Once the kids get their own social lives they stop giving a fig about what you're doing - date away.
I was a single mother for 10 years. Kids are grown and gone and I'm still single - by choice.
I'm amazed these mothers can even be bothered with another guy after what they've been through (divorce, desertion) but some women are needy like that or maybe just slow learners.
Well, people would also like to sterilize or otherwise limit reproduction of certain groups of people too but we just can't limit people's freedoms like that. At least not in the US. But we can have an opinion on what we think others should do with their lives.

We would have less poverty issues if there was a cap on kids.
I think there should be a certain financial requirement to have a kid.
