I'm a married divorced mom of 2 who married a divorced dad of 2. We've together since alot of these posters were in diapers.
To second what
@Phoenix_Knightly23 and
@Out2TheOld and
@Rockstar Mom said I never had a problem attracting or keeping men with or without children when I was single.
Well yall did it right, 2 single parents linked up and have enjoyed nothing but success. Its a common ground and understanding, again not saying it can't be done the other way just its much harder....but it happens all the time.
I don't think the narrative of the thread is single parents (male or female) can't get a mate. Anyone who thinks that has zero irl experience. What I got is that from OP and page one is that brehs that are "settling" when they don't have too.
And I agree, you can't help who you fall in love with. But dude's is out here getting in relationships with single mom's off the strength of there looks 1st and foremost 90 percent of the time or because its a easy lay or because of the attention they getting.
Single mom's actually get alot of respect from me. But I don't encourage dudes to date them if they have other options and aren't already attached.
I mean people will give puppies away and turn around and take in a house full of children.
Being a single parent isn't anything to be ashamed of nor a bad thing, but I hate that people want to act like it should on the same level or playing field as being single non parent.
It shouldn't
