It’s directly proportional to age. If we talking a 40yo, you might be ok with 3 being that you probably have some too. Now if she’s 21 & has 3, big ole nope. But it has to peak at a number. If she’s 45, it can’t be 7

Far too many single moms think they are such a prize and they deserve to be taken care of in return for their used snatch.

But some single moms don’t want your help outright. They are scrappy and do for their own kids. Those are the single moms who are worth pursuing.
Forever grateful for my step dad/adopted dad recognizing that in my mother and taking us both in.

There's a lady at church that we know that has a ton going for her. She's objectively very pretty, she likes sports, she's fun to hang out with. She's about as good of a catch as you'll find in today's dating pool but she and her husband had two kids and he died of I think a post surgery blood clot from a minor procedure in his thirties. It was unbelievably sad. Brought him in for something minor and he just died. Assuming you don't mind kids, you wouldn't even give her a second thought?


She's an exception to 99% of the other single mothers. Most women become single mothers by leaving perfectly good partners and breaking up their families or date loser drug addicts, alcoholics, men with criminal records, chronically unemployed.

I married one with 3. No baby daddies, but rather an ex-husband that she'd been with since she was 18. I already had 3 of my own from a 17 year marriage, so I was in no position to cast stones. The kids were never an issue in our marriage.

It really depends on the kids... Age, aggression, manners, etc.

I would date a woman with 4 kids if they were good kids with manners and actual productive people in society over a woman with 1 fricktard.

Tough question.

Where is she on the crazy hot scale?

Is she financially independent?

Is there one or multiple baby daddies?

I guess my point is it’s higher level math than the original question.

Thanks. Every day has its issues. Some days are just raw and some are just blah. But I have stayed sober through it all. I guess I’m stronger than I thought. Almost 4 years now.

Being sober. Best life choice I’ve ever made. Over 3 years taking care of sick wife. After she passed I’ve just not found a reason to drink.

I've never dated a single mom with kids but looking back over my 76 years of close friends, workers and family, my conclusion is 1 is too many.

Marital problems due to even just one becomes worse than even money or pussy problems.

Eventually you will be doing activities with the child(ren). Not right away. A woman shouldn't even introduce her children to anyone she's dating for at least a few months.

A lot of people confuse caring for kids with catering to them. “Kids always come first!” can lead to your girlfriend kicking you out of bed because her 11-year-old “can’t sleep.” Or lead to you spending Christmas alone while your girlfriend spends it with her ex because “the kids come first” and Little Timmy said he wanted it that way. There are needs (food/clothing/shelter/supervision), things like sports and extracurriculars (which i think are also important), and there are wants (you can’t use your own living room because Timmy’s playing GTA on the big-screen.) Any single parent worth dating needs to know the difference.

This was my deal breaker with the single mother I dated before I met my wife. Her kid was TERRIBLE and my ex would get angry if I corrected her.

Just to date? Doesn’t matter.

To marry?

If her kids have ADD(All Different Daddies) then run Baw run.

Seriously, there is no magic number. It depends on the woman and her kids. Each situation is going to be different.
