what's your limit for # of kids# of kids by # of guys is a huge consideration here.
Oh that's just embarrassing. If I was Anne, my response to the crowd, right at the beginning would have been: "Does anyone have anything to add that isn't just an emotional outburst, personal insults or an anecdote that you believe, somehow outweighs datasets of hundreds of millions of people? ...anyone?"
Are single mothers people who are just divorced? There are millions of divorced families all over the place.
My dad philandered and left us. How is that my mum's fault?
Yes. Why would you think differently? He blurted it out and and the day after moved out, eventually getting a place with her...like 30 years ago.Is that what your mother told you? Did you get your father's side of the story?
I think some guys have this misguided idea that there will be extra appreciation to go with all the extra effort expected from you by a single mom. But I haven't found that to be the case, either watching friends date them or with the one I dated..
Yeah it didn't get as far as that in the relationship I was in. But less than 6 months in I could tell no matter what I did, in his mind I'm not this kids dad and am trying to get between him and his mom. And she'd never be truly satisfied no matter how much I did for them. And on my end it's constantly more expenses and more hassle. The obligation of being a husband and father, and at the end of the day you dont even get having a family out of it. It was just worse than dating a girl without a child.Masterfully stated.
I’ve seen that multiple times.
Dude gets in a relationship with a single mommy. He’s expected (sooner or later) to do all this daddy type shit, but gets no thanks or respect for it. The brat yelling “You’re not my dad” wipes out any shred of authority or capacity for discipline, and the mom will side with the brat every single time.
Dude ends up not king of the castle in his own damn house.
I’m sure a lot of rapists and other shitty criminals thank their single moms for raising them too because statistically speaking, children raised by single moms are much, much more likely to go to jail.I'm sure a lot of pro athletes appreciate their single mothers who worked their asses off to provide for them so they can play sports in college and be drafted and get huge signing bonus.
especially boys of single mothers, they have it the worst. A girl can still turn out okay with a single mother, but not a boy (usually)I’m sure a lot of rapists and other shitty criminals thank their single moms for raising them too because statistically speaking, children raised by single moms are much, much more likely to go to jail.
@Bay Area What is the reason to this? I was 15. What makes you think my mother would make this up when he admitted it to us? What a horrid assumption.Yes. Why would you think differently? He blurted it out and and the day after moved out, eventually getting a place with her...like 30 years ago.
No one hates on single mothers simply because they're single mothers (based on what I've seen, anyway).
A lot of guys say they wouldn't date them for a variety of reasons. The fact is, all things being equal, a childless woman is more desirable and has less baggage than a single mother. If a guy has options, I don't see why this is a problem.
No one ever says "why so much hate on broke guys?" When women don't want to date them.
