With divorce rate and dead beat fathers on the rise, it's likely that you will find yourself dating a woman with children.
However, dating a woman with children is quite different from dating one without.Knowing this, here are tips you should know when you find yourself wanting to pursue a single mother.
Her number one priority is her kid(s)
Knowing and accepting the fact that you will always come second in terms of affection will make your relationship a success.
Don't be jealous when she chooses her kids over you or when spends more time with them that she does with you.
Don't sleep over unless the children are not around
Kids are sensitive and keen to every detail.
It's already confusing enough that their parents are not together. So don't confuse them more by spending the night at their house, especially if the relationship is in its early stages.
Take time to know them enough to naturally accommodate you. Don't rush.
Be mindful of what time you invite her for dates
Date nights and "dundas" might work for a lady without kids, but not for one with children.
Remember her kid(s) needs to be tucked to bed every night by their mother. Don't rob them this right.
You will have to work around her schedule for your relationship to work.
Don't get mad or personal when she changes plans at the last minute
Changing plans at the very last minute is inevitable for a single mother.
There might be an issue at school, her kid might fall sick or any kid-related thing might pop up just to make her cancel or change plans.
Just get used to this fact if you want your relationship to soar.
