It's not okay for single moms to date???

[WifeyandMommy89]

Another mom in another post actually said it's not okay for single moms to date, until their kids are 18 and out of the house! That it was their choice to bring the children into a failed relationship, so they need to not date until their children are grown! WHAT?

Let me give you a few scenarios that I personally know of:

My friends mom was raped, and she got pregnant with him. She did not abort him, she kept him and raised him. No failed relationship there... So shouldn't have dated until he turned 18?? Uh no, 4 years later she married a wonderful man that took her son in as his own, and love him with everything in him. Her husband is his DAD.

I was in a very abusive relationship, it escalated to the point that he spanked my son ( I don't agree with spanking) and left a bruise on my sons ass (that's abuse BTW) so I left his dumb ass. So I shouldn't date? My son doesn't deserve a dad that will love him??

My Aunt's first husband, cheated on her countless times, to the point that her son thought it was okay to cheat on women. So instead of exposing her son to this any longer, she left her husband, and later on married a wonderful man that loves her kids as his own! but she shouldn't have dated??? WTF?

To the lady that said this.. you are CRAZY!

ETA: The only man that my son has ever met is the guy I am currenty seeing. We have been best friends for 7 years. I was 13 when we met, and he was even there when I gave birth to my son. As far as our children are concerned (my son is 19 months, his DD is 2 1/2) we are just really good friends... but he is very much a part of my sons life and vice versa. He has full custody of his DD, and I've been her mother figure since the day she was born.. Even though  at the time we were just friends...

I don't agree with bringing different people in and out of your childs life, but if you are serious with someone I don't see a problem with it.. very serious!!!

I certainly don't think it's wrong for a single mom to date, as long as they are responsible about it. I don't think it is ok to have different men coming in and out of their childs life.

Didn't you know that single moms don't deserve anything? Hell we don't even deserve to have friends,lol.

Dr. Laura says that a lot.

Absolutely not!! That is not okay at all. Cildren need stability, and having anyone in and out of their life is not stable... I think that the only way you should introduce your child to someone is if you are VERY serious and discussing a future together

Of course it's not wrong for any single parent to date...as long as the primary focus of respect is on the kids involved...having a revolving door of "dates" isn't respectful.
