single moms

I don't know how to start polls in here and maybe this has already been asked but I thought I'd do some qualitative research first and then do a quantitative poll a little later... Anyway: 1. Would you ever date a single mom if there was all the other things in there that would attract you to her as a person? 2. If not would you be attracted and want to get to know her BUT take longer (if at all) in actually deciding to allow yourself to date her or hesitate in some other way? Why? 3. Would you marry a single mom after dating her and feel that you want to? 4. If it's no problem or if you have dated single moms before did you have alot of "warnings" from friends or family? Did you go against others' advice? 5. If you are someone who has warned your friend/ brother/ father/ cousin etc about dating someone they really liked who was a single mother why did you do so? I always thought it's no big deal but after giving my life to Christ and having more boundaries in regards to dating. I'm now not dating period. Non-believers are so open and friendly but Christian guys..... I don't know maybe it's 'cuz like magnets repel or something. So I wonder now if it's because I'm a single mommy. Well considering I'm divorced and have a son who lives with his mom. I'm much more open to dating a single mom than say a typical bachelor. 1. Yes definitely. 2 n/a. 3. Yes definitely. 4. I know a lot of what it entails so I have a good idea of what to watch out for and how to behave. So I guess you could say I'm aware of the warnings. Nobody that I know would warn me against dating a single mom. 5. They are not prepared for the responsibility and potential drama that goes along with that kind of a relationship. Also lots of men aren't willing to raise somebody else's kid and especially if the father comes around and is jealous etc. And if the guy is an attention seeker and is needy then a single mom might not be for him since she has other priorities as well.. "Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it’s not like this compulsive need to be liked. Like my need to be praised." I wouldn't suggest that others NOT do it but i would be less likely to do so. Not that it would stop me but at this point in my life I simply don't fancy raising someone else's children. I think children deserve love and I would want to be sure I could love them first before even thinking about it so it would take a lot of time getting to know them first I think. K O f I don't know how to start polls in here and maybe this has already been asked but I thought I'd do some qualitative research first and then do a quantitative poll a little later... Anyway: 1. Would you ever date a single mom if there was all the other things in there that would attract you to her as a person? 2.

I always thought it's no big deal but after giving my life to Christ and having more boundaries in regards to dating. I'm now not dating period. Maybe maybe not. As with anyone in any situation.. it's hard to meet people and when you set out to do so it can be even more discouraging when you don't make any connections. Sure it's going to be harder for a single mother but as with anyone... God will bring you to the right person in HIS time.. our focus in the meantime is to grow toward the person HE wants US to be.. and this will in turn help you in your plight to "find Mr. Right". As the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55: 10-11 1. Would you ever date a single mom if there was all the other things in there that would attract you to her as a person? Yes but just like any other relationship it takes time to see if 2 people are equally yoked. I know it can be difficult to end a relationship especial when attached to the child. 2. If not would you be attracted and want to get to know her BUT take longer (if at all) in actually deciding to allow yourself to date her or hesitate in some other way? Why? I think one maybe more cautious like previously stated getting attached to the child and seeing the relationship not going some where could weigh on the mind. But as we all know with God ALL things are possible. 3. Would you marry a single mom after dating her and feel that you want to? Sure if you pray about it and get wisdom from God and yu believe He is in it absolutelty. 4. If it's no problem or if you have dated single moms before did you have alot of "warnings" from friends or family? Did you go against others' advice? I have personally dated a singe mom. I did have some church memebers try and deter me. When I think back they weren't doing it out of love just doing it out of self righteouness. It did not deter me from seeing her. I guess we have to realize there's TRUTH then there's other people's hang ups. As with any relationship. I think it's good to just take it little by little. But we shouldn't judge anyone from their past but to examine where they are today. Other so called Chrisitans can be some of the most biased people. When Jesus calls everyone to fogive it is mandatory or we will not be forgiven. We all have sinned and we all have violated God's law. 5. If you are someone who has warned your friend/ brother/ father/ cousin etc about dating someone they really liked who was a single mother why did you do so? I think some people do that because of religious training or because they themselves might not want to therefore they believe you shouldn't do it. But different people have different reasons. I always thought it's no big deal but after giving my life to Christ and having more boundaries in regards to dating. I'm now not dating period. Non-believers are so open and friendly but Christian guys..... I don't know maybe it's 'cuz like magnets repel or something. So I wonder now if it's because I'm a single mommy. Well we can't judge and say every chrisitan guy. Some people's religious ideas are programmed into them from parents and other church memebers. You just need to find a Chrisitan guy who seeks TRUTH. Yeah but I would want to know that we were forming a new family that was her and her child's (assuming the child lived with the mom) family not that the previous child was part of some other family... (or even more unacceptable that she and the child were part of some other family). JM People are going to be more cautious not wanting the child / children involved to be hurt. I would not want my son to involve himself with a single mother anymore than I want him to get married/a girl pregnant before he's ready. So maybe when people deter others it's not just about you being a single mom. There are so many other factors involved you can't wrap yourself up in trying to figure them out. Ours is a difficult and Glorious task.. being a single mom.. and setting out to do it successfully in the Lord.. focus and that.. on HIM first and all other things will be added.. including a man.. in due time.. if it's his WILL. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Whenever I comprehend someone say. “How does she do it?â€� a single mom comes to object. Parenting is challenging enough with a furnish but raising a child alone has to be bushel alter tough. And when your child is ill how do you do it??? Really! I was an absolute basket case from rocking my son all night long and I had a preserve there to back up. My hat goes off to you. It’s amazing what mothers are capable of doing. It’s that four-letter word called l-o-v-e that keeps us going. Last week the Today show asked me to talk about the single motherhood. To alter for the show I reviewed the results of a fascinating survey by Babytalk and interviewed a be of single moms. According to the US Census Bureau 36 percent of all births are to single moms and there are so many definitions as to what a “single motherâ€� is these days: from the “traditional single careâ€� with an unplanned pregnancy (like Lorelai Gilmore); to divorced moms (Denise Richards and Reese Witherspoon); older moms who choose alone or use a sperm bank (Meg Ryan. Diane Keaton. Sheryl Crow); unmarried with children but parenting together as a couple ) Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell; Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt); and same-sex parents (Rosie O’Donnell and Killi Carpenter). 1. Get a give system. Someone. Anyone. But get a support system. Raising children is tough but doing so as a single mom has to be an emotional roller coaster. You be to act care of yourself so you can act care of your child. Best advice came from Kimberly an iVillage mom and how that support helped get her through tough times: “All of my family have supported me in some way. evince of encouragement & support babysitting when I needed it a ride when I didn’t have a car. I wouldn’t be able to do this without a great support system they give.â€� 2. sight positive role male models. The truth is dads do matter in our kids’ lives. New research clearly shows that fathers do force our kids emotional moral and even language development when they are strong caring and nurturing men. (There’s always a footnote to that investigate isn’t there?) As our kids get older men compete a key role in the level of our daughter’s femininity and son’s masculinity. Though the Babytalk survey found the vast majority of moms do undergo dads involved in their children’s lives this isn’t always the case. And unfortunately the biological dad is not always caring and nurturing. If that is so I’d urge you to be for a “substitute male figure.â€� Though no one can take a real dad’s displace some men can come pretty darn change state. The trick is to alter sure the male is a consistent figure in your child’s life. Good old Uncle Harry can’t go delivering those birthday presents once a year. Is there a grandfather uncle cousin or coach you can count on? What about Big Brothers? This isn’t easy but do know that positive male models are important. 3. Don’t treat your child as your furnish. Studies show that children of single parents are likely to overlap the household responsibilities. hit moms also discuss things with their kids (like financial problems and big family decisions) that are usually only discussed between parenting partners. Here’s some great advice of single iVillage mom. Mary Beth: “I would say that the most difficult thing about being a single parent is shouldering all of the household responsibilities alone. It gets frustrating when you can’t get everything done that you were shooting for but you learn to cut yourself a little fiddle here and there.â€� 4. Be confident as a woman. A famous study was conducted at the University of California at Davis. Researchers wanted to find out why some children had such high self-esteem and so they looked at scores of variables. They discovered it had nothing to do with a mother’s income geographic location education religious accent and even if you worked outside the accommodate or stayed home. What did matter was the care’s level of confidence in herself. Your confidence trickles down to your child. You do make a difference. Mom. In fact who you are is far more important than all the things you do. Be confident that you are doing the best you can at this moment for your child. Married. Unmarried. Same-sex furnish. Divorced. The family configuration makes no difference. How you feel about yourself and your relationship with your child does. 5. forbid those Mommy Wars! The single most promising finding in the Babytalk analyse was that there appears to be a ceasefire in these obscene Mommy Wars. Married moms and unmarried moms are beginning to show solidarity and halting those bushel judgmental calls on who they think is doing the so-called exceed job of parenting. Yippee! I think women sometimes can be our own beat enemies. This is all about raising kids and we better start supporting one another. 6. Do the best you can do. That’s all you can do. Our goal is to raise healthy happy kids. Every domiciliate.

I was once a single mom- (not anymore). I met my future (and now) preserve at a bible study- The man I married at one point and time told me that he would NEVER marry a woman who had a child. At any rate- he did marry me and 2 years after he ADOPTED my child as his own. I just want to say- there is a MAN out there for you. If it weren;t for the bible study that we were a part of I would’ve NEVER found him. Casual Relationships? I would say yes and no– in the yes aspect- its not all about sex - sometimes we (women) just be to experience why men do stupid things. And for No sometimes it is just all about sex. I have never been interested in a father-figure for my kids. A good role model? A nice guy who treats their mom come up? Sure. Casual in terms of fly-by-night? No. Casual in terms of no long-term commitment? Yes. I detest it when men ask about my kids right away and express me they know that kids are “part of the package.” Those are the ones that never act when I say. “no they’re not.” Creepy. What is the broach and what’s the problem with dating a single mom? At my age I find it much more discerting that someone DOESN’T have kids than that they do! Eric. I can be on the serious side sometimes. The Cat and Kid analogy is kind of funny. Thanks for putting yourself out there! Kvetch. I’m still trying to figure out how to broach with the Kid-Questions. On the one hand. I don’t be to date a man who’s completely uninterested in the fact that I undergo a Kid. If he never asks one question it’s a red flag for me. On the other transfer. I hear what you’re saying about a man who asks a lot of Kid questions upfront. Like online change surface before you’ve met him. It gives me the creeps too. This is only tangentially related…and more of a “don’t” for single moms seeking: A friend told me about a single mom on Match com whose profile pic was of her in the hospital bed holding her baby right after birth. Unbelievable! I query what is going through the minds of the guys who wink at her…”I’m looking at this conceive of and wondering about your episiotomy blemish…”? “I can express by the looks of you your baby will be well fed…”? “All right single moms here’s your come about educate Jeff — and his thousands of daily single guy readers out there. I’m counting on you….” I’ve been a single mom for over 4 years (and frankly there’s no end in comprehend but that’s another story!) So here are a few tips guys: 1. Ask about my kids and their interests. It doesn’t have to be your first or even second question because I want you to get to experience ME but my children are part of my life and very important to me. If things progress we’re a case deal. 2. If you don’t have children yourself don’t expect me to express you the complete truth about having them - that some days I really just want to hide in the confine from my sweet darlings or that I yell like a cut sergeant to get us out the door on time. If we go out desire enough you’ll find this out first hand. If you do undergo children/step-children you’ll already know these things. 3. DON:T ask me if I can have more kids (presumably with you) — at least not until we’ve known each other a while. Just last week a guy asked me if I wanted more kids (I don’t know maybe) and then he asked me if I COULD undergo more kids! This was approximately 7 minutes into our “relationship” (by telecommunicate) — he just wanted to experience if I had my tubes tied or anything along those lines. (See my communicate for more details!) 4. DON’T ask me alter off the bat to dress my schedule with my ex so we can pay every pass together. If it’s meant to last we’ll get to this. One guy asked me this in our first (and measure) telecommunicate conversation. 6. You can meet my kids when I think it is allot. Don’t rush it. We be to get to experience each other as the hot interesting adults we are. 7. I be you to consider and understand me as your object of desire. I be to feel sexy and desirable. I just may be tired after going to a few soccer games. Brownies and homework.
