The moms are okay, mine were they gave good, uh well you know after the kids went to bed that is.

It's the kids that cause the problems they will lie, cheat and say anything to get a present or a video game or a trip to Disneyland or a happy meal.

It's the darn kids I'm telling you

My wife had a daughter to her first husband, we produced twin girls when we got together and have never had any of the problems listed above.

It has been 28 years now, the eldest is married and the twins are at uni.

Just saying..

Cheers

There are exceptions to every rule.

Congratulations on your astounding luck.

yep every situation is different of course. Which is why it is entitled "5 things i wish I knew before dating a single mom" and not "5 things every man should know before dating a single mom"

Of course as i posted earlier, im really only dealing with situation number 3 at the moment. This article is more of a composite of the experiences of myself and men i have known of.

The bottom line is, it is not always rainbows and gumdrops when a person tries to blend into an existing family

I can relate to that one. OMG!

I call it single mom with a squatter.

or they are always moaning over the kid that they gave up. If they didn't want nothing to do with it when they spit it out, why moan over it now? It is 'water under the bridge'.

My wife had a daughter when we got married that was 4. I certainly went through many of those things to a level, but wasn't bad until she hit puberty.
She loved playing the daddy card, even though her dad ignored her most of her life. Course my wife and I had another child by then.

I would never advise my son to marry a single mother..

The wife and I say to each other that if we divorce, or any of us kick the bucket... that's it, we're not going to put up with another one of us. We're going to party instead.

One problem being....if you find yourself falling in love, you forget or ignore every pearl of wisdom you previously learned.

Good post.
This is exactly why I'm single, and intend to remain so.
In one instance, I experienced all the 5 points presented.
Never.Again.

For a long time I thought it was my fault it all failed. Now I see I really tried hard, and hadn't but good intentions.

Thank you for sharing this. I mean it.
