Never take "the ex is out of the picture" at face value.

In the early 80s a former co-worker married a single Mom, kid was about four. She had been divorced a couple of years, great job. No child support from reportedly abusive ex.

Their marriage went great and they never heard a word from ex for a few years then all of a sudden there he is at her door (husband was at work) demanding visitation rights and threating her with court action to get it. Po-po remove him from their property when he tries to force the door. Restraining order is issued.

A few days later the ex is seen sitting outside elementary school where the kid goes. That did it.

Current husband finds out where ex lives, and catches him coming out his front door early one morning and knee-caps him with a axe handle. Also added a couple whacks to collar bone and breaks it. Warns ex it will get much worse if he ever sees or hears from him again.

Problem solved and stayed solved. When the ex healed-up he moved away.

I saw my former co-worker a year or so ago and asked about "sore knees" and he said he has never heard of him since he fucked him up.

Kid is now a assistant DA in a nearby county. Couple retired to NC.

Drama, and more drama.

If you find a crazy one you can expect to be stalked after the fact or even a false pregnancy.

its not that bad if you know what to expect and choose wisely.

The ones with little kids, say 5 and under, are a pain in the ass because the kids require so much attention. These girls will usually put out on the first date if she likes you tho.

The ones who have been through the 5 years of having the needy kid will more likely have the frame of mind to know she wants. If she likes you, she will make time for you.

All the big problems about insanity, baby daddy issues and stuff like that will be obvious within the first few conversations if you are listening. I will ask them what the relationship between her and the child(rens) father is. That way I can knock out her ability to be honest too.

Sometimes the kids can be great, and interacting with them enhances the whole experience.



Or, the kids can be a major PITA, hate you, and do everything they can dream up to destroy the relationship.



My last single mom GF had two daughters, one in each category.

Every case will be different.

When I met my wife She had a 2yo daughter. I am not sure which one I fell in love with more, but now that daughter is 9 and I have legally adopted Her and changed Her last name. We do have some of the drama that is associated with the EX, but by and large Her and I agree on how to handle the situations. In my case I was the only father the young child ever knew and the bio-dad had almost nothing to do with us for years and years. I proved to Her that I loved Her and fully took on every responsibility of being Her Father, the good and the bad.

As has been stated, the kid/kids should come first to the single mother. But if you get serious, the kids should come first to both of you.

I have never dated a single mom. I have cousins that are single mothers, and my brothers have dated single moms.

My only real advice to you: figure out why she is single.  An attractive educated, hard working woman is hard to find, and baby daddy should have done whatever was necessary to keep her around.  Maybe he is a fuckup, or maybe she isn't as good of a catch as you think.

Solid write up. The biggest issue which all these points highlight is that you will always be wrong and the kid will always be right, even when the kid is dead wrong. That in itself is the root cause of most of the other crap.

I find their are more single jerk water dads than mothers. Kids take a lot of work and need guidance,if your not ready for it,than it is not for you. When you have one of your own, it is the best things that could happen to you. I see no problem dating single mothers with kids, as long as the kid is not a troublemaker or in trouble with the law. That would be my breaking point. As far as being number 2 goes, you might end up falling in love with the child as well and have a bond that will last forever. I work with a few guys who said it was the best thing they ever did and others have said the opposite. It is not easy but could be very rewarding.

It's not wise in today's world. Courts now a days are more likely to side with ex over the husband.  Husband goes to jails, then the wife and children are left without the husband around.

I don't know what I would do in that situation.

Along with the woman, you obviously also get the kid(s) BUT it doesn't stop there.

You also get the bio dad, his new wife/gf, his family, etc. It's all a package deal.

Even if the father doesn't have anything to do with the kid, it very well could be that won't last.

If you like a lot of drama in your life and being with a woman with tons of baggage, go for it.

But as they say, there are more fish in the sea and not one who has been hooked.

My personal experiences:

I was never number one in her world, it was all about the kid.
I bailed after nine months when we started to get serious and I found out that the kid was always going to be her first priority.

At least her ex was totally cool about me dating her.

Never take "the ex is out of the picture" at face value.

In the early 80s a former co-worker married a single Mom, kid was about four. She had been divorced a couple of years, great job. No child support from reportedly abusive ex.

Their marriage went great and they never heard a word from ex for a few years then all of a sudden there he is at her door (husband was at work) demanding visitation rights and threating her with court action to get it. Po-po remove him from their property when he tries to force the door. Restraining order is issued.

A few days later the ex is seen sitting outside elementary school where the kid goes. That did it.

Current husband finds out where ex lives, and catches him coming out his front door early one morning and knee-caps him with a axe handle. Also added a couple whacks to collar bone and breaks it. Warns ex it will get much worse if he ever sees or hears from him again.

Problem solved and stayed solved. When the ex healed-up he moved away.

I saw my former co-worker a year or so ago and asked about "sore knees" and he said he has never heard of him since he fucked him up.

Kid is now a assistant DA in a nearby county. Couple retired to NC. [url]http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif[/

At this, boys, is the way a man takes care of business.


Not really.

Yes.  Really.  Because a properly applied ax handle beats restraining order any day.


Easy to say when you wouldn't be the one facing felony charges.

Really?  Why would you assume that?

Depends on the individual woman.  Does her past life have a pattern of train wrecks, or does she seem to actually have it together?

Mrs. Brohawk was a single (divorced) Mom when we met.  Ex was an irresponsible loser and bailed on her.  Next March will be 28 excellent years of marriage.  His loss was definitely my gain.  I adopted her daughter (3 y/o at the time) and raised her as my own.

Here's one thing I learned - a competent, responsible single Mom won't have you around because she needs someone to change lightbulbs.  She has learned how to take care of herself.  Mrs. Brohawk has me around because she wants me for who I am, an incomprehensible fact that I'm very grateful for.

This can be said for ANY woman you wish to marry. I always thougth that it'd be a good idea to go for a drive and get "stuck in the snow" or something while you are dating, just to see how much drama she brings to the situation.

Congratulations on your 28 years, Brohawk, and I hope you have many, many more!
