I wanna step away from the mother topic because it's a sensitive issue, but let me just add one thing.
If you ever date a woman with kids, you will need to accept this concept. You will be placed in situations where you know that the woman is ratchet in regards to how she conducts her love life, but she will be the greatest mom in the world to her kids.
Even if she has teenage kids, she will still be the greatest mom in the world to them, for the reason being she raised them, and if she raised them alone, then she is the holiest thing next to GOD.
I guarantee this woman will be teaching her children to respect woman and how to meet a good woman, all the while she isn't a good woman herself and contradicts her messages to her children with the life she lives.
It's like your dad telling you "don't commit crimes", yet he goes away all the time and little do you know it's because he keeps getting locked up.
It will annoy you that you and the guys that she dated are the only ones who know she's ratchet, yet to the rest of the world she's known as an independent single mom who is the epitome of a strong woman.
And try to argue with her or reprimand her for her actions and her kids see you. In their eyes, their mom can do no wrong and will defend her, even if it has to get physical. Ask yourself, if you saw somebody arguing with your moms, you wouldn't even wait to see whether she was right or wrong. In your eyes she is your moms and if you think she feels threatened you will defend her right?
Almost everybody is like that with their moms, even if the moms is a ratchet cum guzzling whore who uses, robs, and manipulates men.
Just something to think about.
why even date single moms? relationships are hard and complicated already why make it harder on yourself?
