I think it was a year ago that I met this wonderful girl, she was special, we were very much alike and got on well. After a week into the relationship, she finally told me she had a 6 year old son. I was completely shocked, I didn't know what to do and I'd never pictured myself with a single mother before. So I was confused, I would love to say I'm such a great guy that I just shrugged it off and the idea that she had a son didn't bother me. But it did, atleast a little.
To go out with her I would not only have to be a boyfriend but a substitute father as well. I do love kids but to become a father of a boy half way to being a teen seemed a lot. Having met him I soon warmed to him and already he wanted to call me his dad. The idea of being with a single parent didn't bother me at all infact it probably helped our relationship.
Unfortunately it wasn't to be and we eventually broke up. It was hard for him to have a father like figure in his life and then to suddenly lose it again. I felt terrible, it must be so difficult being a single parent and trying to juggle so many things at once. Relationships are hard enough but to be a mum at the same time really complicates things.
Has anyone else dated a single parent? Would it bother you if he/she had a kid? Or perhaps you're a single parent and you've been through something like this already.

With my ex she wanted nothing to do with the father, but he wanted to but of course only after many years of giving him nothing. Strange how they suddenly want to see their kids when they're already growing up.
One thing that would concern me would be the relationship the kids have with their father.
@ngel will your 3 kids have much of a relationship with their dads?
When I do meet single mothers their past has usually been a bad one. My ex used to be treated badly and get beaten by him, I think one time he tried to slit her wrist.

I am a single parent and got left by my then ex... Relationships are hard now specially now i have 2 kids. Also been pregnant yet again and single (though i ended things this time) It's harder still. Now i will be single with 3. Life's hard at times but i just get on with it.
But people who i ever get in to a relationship will just have to be aware that i do have 3 kids, it would be a matter of accepting them all or it would be nothing. I have them to think about.
If that means me having to be single then so be it.
